"Believe" to Nele

I did something similar to this for my Art Healing Journal, so I thought I'd re-create for Nele.

I did her last name big on the side, in a decorative manner, then colored in with color pencil. (pp for her name)


With matching insert.

TY to my oldest! (Mother's Day Mondrian)

I sent this to my son at work as a thank you for the fun Mother's Day gift he got me (see below).

Did the cap letters a la Mondrian (to match the votive holder!)

My card didn't turn out the greatest, but not bad.

My precious Mother's Day gifts from my boys. (I love Mondrian!)

Flowers to Nanski

Decided to send Nanski some funky abstract flowers with matching insert.

Lettering is a little off, but oh well.

Volunteer envies.

I'm still addressing monthly env.'s for my oldest's workplace, and this month, decided to mix things up.
Before, I was using an xtra fine Posca to letter the names, and this time, got out my brush pens.

Collage of my faves.
I also added sparkle to them with my WoS brush.


Close-ups below:










The env.'s aren't the best quality, so it's impossible to use any tools aside from markers (or they'll bleed and feather.) so unfortunately, no pp work or fun inks.  :/

Oh well! This creates a fun challenge for me!

Split marker to Kate R (Apr. PTEx)

Was at a bit of a loss this month as to what to do for Kate, and then decided to get out my markers!

used an old split-nib callig marker and colored in parts to match the stamp (which went perfect with the env. color)
I also add some elements from the stamp, but in diff. colors.

And on the flip side.
