Acrylic and watercolor play

This week my daughter asked me to help her with some thank you gifts. She had just gotten back from a work trip and wanted to send the ladies a thank you for helping her. So, she was giving me ideas of sayings or designs and mentioned that her favorite quote was by CT Studd... that said.... "Only one life, `twill be past, only what`s done for Christ will last." So, I pulled out a small canvas that I had been working on, finished it up and cut and pasted the words out to put on the front. I finished the picture with mod podge coating and then when it was dry, I applied Dorland wax... I had seen someone else use this process and wanted to try it out. It leaves a nice matt finished on the it.....and then, it was finished...1 1Ok, One gift done. Now, we wanted to do a variety note card package to give the other two ladies. I got out my watercolors and played with some pencil sketches... I am in the middle of a class with Danielle Donaldson, http://danielledonaldson.com/ that I love, and she does the most awesome watercolor girls. I am still learning the techniques but tried to do some different looks....1 1aI had fun with these little ladies, then scanned and put onto some cards, with a little saying or word to go with it, add a rhinestone for embellishment, then packed them up to give her.cards2All her thank you gifts taken care of... Now on to another project !!Thank you for visiting with me. I am linked with Sunday Sketches today athttp://www.bluechairdiary.blogspot.com/Have a great new week,Love,Jane
