OH. MY. STARS….the new Online Card Class is fantastic!! Hands-down this is my new favorite class in the Online Card Classes series! It is taught by the amazing Dawn Woleslagle of WPlus9 and I cannot recommend it enough! I don’t want to give too much away but here are my creations for the first day of class!
I made three cards and one print…two of the cards used wet on wet techniques and focused on blending:
I apologize for the not great “in-progress” photos…I was using my iPhone and the light wasn’t great. Here are the final versions:
I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things and sequins from The Ton Stamps to finish my popsicle card.
I also created a shaker card using a sentiment from My Favorite Things and gilding from The Ton Stamps. I think that one is my favorite…I LOVE winter and snow but those bright cheery citrus slices just make me happy!
My third card utilizes water to create an ombre effect! I only used three paints for this card but was able to get many different shades for each color! I used a die from Memory Box and a sentiment from Altenew to finish this card!
Finally I created a print by experimenting with brush strokes and various brush sizes. I used the same three colors as the card above but also added gold gouache for a little extra sparkle!
I’m in love with that gold gouache…it’s SO sparkly!! Look at all that shimmer!
So there you have it…day one of Online Card Classes! 😉 I’m looking forward to one more snow day and another opportunity to play with my watercolors!! Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous day!
Super cute prints!

These are fab!!!
Love these! Especially that citrus print… So cute! Can’t wait to see what else you make!

Amazing! Your watercolouring is beautiful and great use of the techniques we were taught. I wish my first homework attempts were as successful! I’m still waiting for them to dry and hoping they look okay later. 😉
Wow. I felt so good about myself for resisting the urge to sign up for this class, but now I’m feeling a pang of regret at my own firmness…
On a more positive note, your step by step photographs are giving me a good idea of how you created your cards, so thanks for the inspiration and peek into this class.

Good job avoiding those pencil lines! I haven’t tried any of the class yet, but I am OCD about not seeing those pencil lines.
I love what you did with these lessons!
Fabulous cards! I love the colors you chose and the orange card is definitely a favorite! I’m with you on loving all the seasons but appreciating bright colors and warmth during winter!
