I was so excited to try out my Nuvo Watercolor Pencils today! I heard that they were the cat’s pajamas, and they didn’t disappoint. Lots of pigment, super soluble, and easy to use.

The answer is yes!

Here’s the video on how I painted and stamped this adorable Christmas kitty card. More photos and links to products are below the video. Enjoy!

Inspiration: Making Fall Backgrounds with Cozy Textures

As the weather gets chillier, I tend to start using what I call “cozy textures” for my backgrounds. Baskets, woven fabrics, and warm colors all give that snuggly comfortable feeling of fall, before you settle in for winter’s bite.
