Watercolor Pencil Blending Techniques-Make It Monday #74

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Make it Monday Videos / / , ,

Today, I am excited to share some blending techniques for using your watercolor pencils to create some beautiful floral images. I am using the new bundle in the 2022-2023 catalog, Cottage Rose. The floral images in this bundle really come to life when you blend four watercolor pencils together to create a soft, yet vibrant flower.

Take Me Back Tuesday!

Just Because Cards /

Yesterday I was cleaning up my craft room and going through some old cards in preparation for an October craft fair event and I came across several cards that I created using the sponging technique to create skylines. I can even remember the name of this stamp set and dies but I know it was at least 4 years ago.

If I had to guess on what colors I used, I would say Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie. So go ahead and pull out your sponges and/or blending brushes and give this sunset a try.

It just reminded me of a peaceful summer day. It always feels like the end of summer once we celebrate Labor Day, so I thought I would share this card as a perfect way to end summer. Now if only the weather would stop being so humid, that would be grand!

Thanks for stopping by!

Take up Your Cross-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

In today’s gospel Jesus invites us to experience a deeper understanding of our journey of faith through detachment.  Jesus invites us to take up our cross and journey with him and in doing so, we mature in our faith.  He did not promise that it would be easy, in fact, he warns us of many obstacles.  We will make mistakes and we will have times of sorrow, but when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, joy will come.  When we detach from the things or the people that hinder our relationship with the Lord, we find that God’s grace is enough.

What are the things or habits in your life that keep you from experiencing God’s love and mercy?

What are you willing to give up for the sake of Jesus?

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
