I decided to pull out my fine line markers and draw some lines on my card. Yes, that is with a pen and not with a stamp. They are wonky on purpose, and I drew a frame around my focal point, which is a die cut flower from Ellen Hutson, cut out of Raspberry Fizz paper and embellished with a tiny rhinestone in the center.
While I've got you here, I will share another card that I made when my crafty friends, Kim, Cathy and Marybeth came over for a visit. We did more talking and laughing than crafting, but we did all practice water coloring with my Ziggies using the same stamp. Here is my version.
Now, back to CASology and our cue word LINE. How are you inspired by LINE? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.
I am so very lucky to have made such wonderful crafty friends, and even luckier that I get to hang out with some of them in real life. Even Sherlock the dog hung out with us most of the day.

Oh Joyce, I love your wonky lines. I am always a little afraid to draw on my cards, so hat tip to you for braving your marker. It looks wonderful!!! Love that striking flower, and the color you chose for it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards! Love the hand drawn lines and the beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteWhat great cards. I love your hand drawn lines and your second card is so much fun. And how fabulous that you ladies could get together. Looks like a good time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun design! Love your hand-drawn frame!
ReplyDeleteLove it then love it now! Such a creative idea! I ordered the zig pens....now the wait! Thanks again for such a fun day, Joyce.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your cards, Joyce! The hand drawn lines are perfect!!! Great colors on the second card and awesome picture of everyone!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE that watercolor card with the triangles. It brings inner peace to my heart. Yeah, I'm a bit weird about triangles. The hand drawn frame card is great too. I used to do wonky frames and borders a lot, now I never think of it.
ReplyDeleteI do love wonky, Joyce ... and I wanna hang with you girls one day! How fun, and a fun card, too!

Oh gosh these are both fabulous Joyce!! Speaking of fabulous, look how cute you four look here!! I'll bet you had so much FUN together!!
ReplyDeleteI love this bright stylized line card, Joyce! Awesome doodling work!! And what a fantastic photo of you four great friends! Wish I could have been there!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative frame for your flower Joyce, and I love your wonky doodle ( that reminds me of Yankee Doodle and now I'll have that tune in my head all day!). How fabulous that you were all able to get together for a crafty day, and you are pushing me towards 'needing' those zig pens.

I love how you outlined your bright pink bloom, and how you water colored the panel on the 2nd card...Looks like a stained glass window! So happy for you that you had such a great time with your 'Crafty Friends'...Great pic of you girls, too!!!
ReplyDeleteJoyce....love both of your cards, they are just as beautiful on the computer as they were in person. It was so impressive to see watch you draw those lines on your first card, you are so talented. And your second card using your ziggies is so fabulous, looks like a piece of stained glass. Thank you again for the amazing time at you house, it is always such a wonderful treat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous wonky frame, Joyce ... it showcases that gorgeous bloom so beautifully! Stunning faceted ziggy watercolouring ... looks as though the lights shining through all those delicious colours ... gorgeous! What a wonderful photo of you all ... looks and sounds as though you were having just the best time ... all that awesome creativity under one roof ... wow! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteWOW, what great cards, Joyce!!!! And did you really draw those lines by hand???? ...it looks fantastic framing your flower so beautifully!!! (no way I can try adding anything to a card by hand drawing of writing ...just not artistic enough to do that ...I will mess up my whole card!!! LOL!!!)
ReplyDeleteAnd the second card is painted so perfectly in the lovely rainbow colours!!! Beautiful and so striking!!!!
Love the photo of you and your friends - sounds as if you had a great time!!!
Have a great day!!!
Two beautiful cards Joyce. Aren't the zigs fun to use??!! :) LOVE the first card with the hand-drawn frame ... so very cool. xx
ReplyDeleteHey Joyce!! I love your flower and frame. You created such a great fun card. I love how it all ties in. Great job..
ReplyDeleteThe doodled frame is stunning, love the colorful second card too, great pic of you lucky ladies ;)
ReplyDeleteThe doodled card caught my attention because I have that flower die and I love how you used it here! I thought the doodled frame was a stamp ;)
ReplyDeleteYour card turned out looking so classy and chic!! Love the wonky frame you drew, and the black and white with that gorgeous pop of color is wonderful!! Love the practice you did with your friends and your "ziggies" - such a great name for them!! Anyways - so glad to see you all looking so well!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever with your doodled lines!! Love how this turned out! Love the pic of you with your crafty friends too! Awesome how you guys get to hang out from time to time (clearly, Sherlock is a bit of a fan of crafty afternoons also!!)
ReplyDeleteWonderful wonky doodled frame to showcase your oh-so-pretty flower! And your Zig painted multi-faceted stamp: gorgeous! Time with crafty friends: so awesome! I want to join you and the others sometime, too!
