#the100dayproject : handmade card 63/100-2 : warm winter wishes
Posted by Kerry Wills on
the spin on the inspiration wheel today landed on monochromatic and i was inspired by a newer stamp set from mft. it was definitely out of my comfort zone, but i think that i like the way it turned out! i decided to use shades of greys and black with a splash of white to land on both ends of the color spectrum.

#the100dayproject : handmade cards 42+/100-2 : watercolor heart set
Posted by Kerry Wills on
as i've mentioned over the last couple days, i have some things in the works coming up. two of these things are virtual online events that i'll be participating in during the end of the month/beginning of december along with a slew of super talented makers. so many shows, festivals and events have been cancelled and i feel like this is the best option for me to try and reach more people while sharing more handmade happiness.

Posted by Kerry Wills on
one of my favorite things about the fall is the changing of the leaves - it's so gorgeous and it always makes me happy. i really tried to incorporate that feeling when designing and creating this handmade card. i'm super pleased with the result and i hope my customers and their recipients will be too! this watercolored blessings card is available now here and you can see my post on instagram here!

i began with a blank watercolor canvas and using two shades of distress ink, i watercolored the background, creating an ombre fade. i know i've mentioned it before but the way that distress inks blend together - in any form - just amazes me. this time i used salty ocean and blueprint sketch. there's multiple layers of paint building up to the end result.
