It's a Perfect Partner with Crafters Companion

I love this sweet shallow spring box that I created with Crafter's Companion and the Sheena's Perfect Partner Sweet William.  Of course I'm a softie to anything called Sweet William and this stamp and matching die set is just stunning.  I love everything about it. 

TIP: You can use the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens either straight on the paper for a more intense color or you can place some of their ink on a palette and water them down for a more subtle coloring.  They are so versatile for your shading. 

 

Sara Davies is coming to HSN March 16 with so many goodies you won't believe it....HERE"S A SNEAK PEEK!!!

Here's a picture of the box open so you can see how shallow it is and it's ready to hold a love note, pictures or small little keepsakes. 

Need to know what I used on this project?  Here's a complete list of Crafters Companion goodies used:

 Spectrum Noir Sparkle: Cosmos, Holly Leaf, Olive, Jade, Amethyst and Pink Garnet, Friendship Sentiments Stamp, Sheena Perfect Partner Victorian Floral Metal Die: Sweet William Die and Stamp set, Gemini Set 3 Metal Die Pack, Ultimate Tool, Die'sire Decorative Dies: Square Doilies

Let's go down to the fishing hole with Heartfelt Creations

I'm continuing to love working with the Winking Frog Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  One of the things I adore about it is it's so versatile for everyone...you have the cute and whimsy of the frogs and dragonflies but then you have that Heartfelt Creations elegance with the water lilies...it's just so much fun to work with.

I colored this image with the new Spectrum Noir watercolor pencils from Crafters Companion and I love the way I was able to blend the little frog and shade.

Don your rubber boots, grab your field glasses and come along as we set out to explore picturesque marshes filled with dazzling water florals, glistening dragonflies, miniature forests of cattails and flourishing crops of toadstools! Walk softly and  be aware of your surroundings at all times as the delightful gems we seek are not always easily seen and blend in with their surroundings perfectly.  Pause and listen carefully as the only clues we have to follow, leading us to our destination are the soft and throaty croaks filling the cool evening air.  Follow the quick flickering of the lightning bugs as dusk begins to fall, being careful to not be seen in their shadows.  Now...grab your field glasses...we've discovered the habitat we've been so curious about! Through your field glasses you see them...you have a front row seat to witness their fun and frolic, entertaining antics and flirtatious ways, and can only hope to eventually be invited in to make their acquaintances and join in the laughter and merriment!  Come along side HeartfeltCreations as we discover and reveal the amusing and spirited "Winking Frog" Collection.  Vintage inspired illustrations will bring back memories of classic childhood story books, quick witted sentiments will add a touch of fun, and the serene and calming color palette of the collection is sure to speak to the heart of everyone who ventures here.  The invitation has been sent to join in on the high jinks, so now it's your turn to dive in...try your hand at creating beautiful water florals, hop from lily pad to lily pad on handsome decorative paper, play hide and seek with glorious die cuts and with the little polliwogs among the weeds and cattails....now aren't you glad you listened and wore your rubber boots!
