Day 17. Happy Hello

Hello Friends, Hanging in there? Today’s card is hopefully put a little smile on your face!

These images in this Paper Smooch stamp set called, “Happy Hellos” makes me smile. So many fun images and these images can certainly put a smile on the the grumpiest person!

This happy birdie was inked up with my usual paper and ink. I tend to grab what is near to watercolor so I pulled out my Karin watercolor markers since they were still on my desk. Did you happen to notice that she’s sporting some eyeshadow and blush?

The sentiment strips that I used yesterday saved the day again! They should be called Cut and Place lol.  To add more interest I painted some scrap strips of watercolor paper. When dry I put foam tape under the sentiment.

Stay safe and I am thinking of you all. Thank YOU for your visit today! See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Thank you for making us all smile with your amazing talent. The images in this set are adorable. I love the little tiny hairs around the bird image. Little details like that really enhance the overall look of the project.

    Hey, I love the colors you used on your card & your markers. I have a problem with markers. The cap on the markers is one color & when I use the markers, it’s a whole other color. Almost every marker I have has that problem. I just bought some pretty Bic markers because I loved the cap colors. The markers when you use them are a whole other color & I am very disappointed. I have some cheap-o watercolor markers from Dollar General. The yellow marker has some of whatever the marker is made of hanging from the tip of the marker. I can’t use it & one of the others has that too. I suppose I could cut it off but I wonder if I would ruin the marker? You couldn’t see that when I bought the markers or I wouldn’t have bought them. I found that when I opened the package. I might think about getting your markers if you say they are good. Could you please tell me more about the markers though? I don’t want to spend that kind of money on markers that I don’t really like & I like how they do look like watercolors. Great card!

Welcome Friends!
