card giveaway!

You might have noticed the word "giveaway" in my blog title. Yes, there is indeed a giveaway! So, I'm making some save-the-dates for a friend and taking out my dusty gocco printer and trying to make it work. I was pretty discouraged because my screens kept getting printed poorly! I've printed with it before and it turned out alright, but I guess I've never tried printing out large areas and the carbon never seems to get spread out evenly enough (even with the use of the filter). I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what to do. After reading some tutorials, I figure I'm going to go trek to the nearest library and make some photocopies and try one more time.

Anyways, in my discouragement, I decided to burn a different design using riso pens instead of printouts. It turned out alright, not really to my liking, but still nice enough that I didn't want to throw them away. So here, they are! A card set of 3 "you make me feel like i'm home" cards. They're not perfect, each with more imperfections that I can take (even being a gocco print), so here they are to be given away!

Giveaway requirements

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by Sunday (July 11th) at 4pm about a person that makes you feel like you're home and why they do. I will choose a winner though a random number generator after that and you get to take these babies home! I don't have many blog readers, so you probably have a really good chance at getting this card set. I'm also going to include other little goodies that I want to give away, so be sure to enter!

Have a blessed day!

New card set in shop!

I am too idealistic. I thought I would have several sets up by now, but with finals looming overhead, I've only had time to make one! My apologies. But here it is, in the shop!

It's a summer-theme card set WITH really cute envelopes that I made from cute paper I found. Sorry there aren't images of the envelopes, I will try to post those today. Anyways, all the cards are hand-painted and one-of-a-kind.




Feedback appreciated! :)

What images come to mind when you think of summer?

Sneak peak

With the weekend coming around the corner, I'm trying to squeeze in time to paint here and there and make more card sets.

Here's a nibble (just a taste) of the set I just made (it's a summer themed card set):



They shall be unveiled on Friday! Let me know what you think!

Inspired!

Hello!

Hope you all had a blessed Sunday :). I'm excited to say that I sold my first item on etsy!

I'm encouraged to make more things, and I just wanted to let you all (like... 2 of you) know that I'm already in the process of making more card sets :). I'll post some this week (hopefully), but I'm also going to be very busy planning a birthday celebration for my signficant other :). Hopefully when I'm more free I can start making other things as well.


Meanwhile... I'm totally enjoying Tara Donne's work, especially her food shots (i'm forever a foodie at heart).








As always, I would love if you said hello!

etsy baby born!

I've done it. I've opened an etsy shop. I've wanted to for the past 2 years, but never found the time to. And I was scared of rejection as well. This past week I told myself to suck it up and be a part of the community!




I only have one item being sold right now, but if that goes well, then I'll definitely add more! I'm selling a set of hand-watercolored cards. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!
