Surgery Update and Coloring I've Done

Hi Everybody,

It's been a little while since I've posted.  I wanted to update you.... I had knee replacement surgery on 4/9 and feel like I've made a lot of progress since.  I can get up and down with no help and use a walker but I'm starting to actually walk with it taking normal steps, not limping, so soon I'll progress to a cane.  

I believe within a week I should be back to making cards again.  It's getting easier to be able to sit because my knee is now bending a little better.  I'm not going to lie, physical therapy HURTS.  I had to start going two days after surgery but without it I wouldn't be able to bend and straighten my leg and walk normally so it's just something I'll have to deal with.  

In the meantime, I've started coloring again and wanted to share my completed April Pencil Class at Kit and Clowder using Prismacolor Pencils.  How cute is this image??  

I finished the character from the March Pencil Class but didn't get a chance to draw in the sand, water and sky before surgery so I'll work on that too.  These classes are great because they teach you how to draw in detail to your stamps and to draw in scenes.  

I just got my first Daniel Smith Split of Watercolor Paints and have since ordered a second one so I'm excited about using this new medium to paint.  

I can't wait to start making cards again!  Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Prismacolor Pencils on Kraft Cardstock

Hi Everybody,

I have been taking coloring classes for almost two years, pencil and marker, from Kit and Clowder.  The website is www.kitandclowder.com.  If you would like to take your coloring skills to a new level, I would highly recommend checking these classes out.  Alyce Keegan is an awesome teacher and friend.  

Right now, you can get this cute penguin image and pencil coloring class FREE.  This class is learning how to color on kraft cardstock and dark colored cardstock.  I colored the image and then made a card with it for a friend for Christmas.  I used Prismacolor Pencils to color him. 

I used Thermoweb's Decofoil Transfer Sheets for the frame (red) and the merry die (green) and I used Transfer Gel with a Brutus Monroe Snowflake Stencil and foiled with silver. I embossed the word, Christmas with white embossing powder on a black cardstock strip.  I added Nuvo Drops in various places on the penguin and finished it off with red and silver metallic twine. 

I hope I've piqued your interest in these classes.  Everyone that I have referred has been very happy and has continued on.  There are monthly classes that teach you several techniques in each class for around $15 and there are also specific classes such as Clothing where you learn how to draw in and color pleats, etc., Skin and Hair, Animals, etc.  If you refer a friend, you will receive $10 as a thank you from Alyce.  Be sure to turn in my name if I've inspired you! :) 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
