Ethereal Florals Digital Stamps

Published by

Here’s the newest digital stamp set available for download at  A Creative Need.   I wanted to put together a floral set that would adapt well to water colouring as it’s such a fun and favoured way to color images!  Of  course they can be coloured any way you are most comfortable with. 🙂 Ethereal Florals Stamp Set   I’d love to hear what you think of these.  I value your opinions and love to know what you are looking for in your digital images. Have a creative day! Deena

Father’s Day Art Cards

Published by

    For this Father’s Day card I painted the tree (which is part of a larger digital painting I made) and placed it in a water color broad brush stroke  background.  I think the result is quite serene looking.  I thought of my Dad a lot while creating this,  sadly, my Dad has been gone a long time now.  I believe he still inspires me.  This card is an Instant PRINTABLE CARD in my Etsy shop for someone’s special Dad.   This is a second card I made with the same tree but a different background…not sure which I like better, do you have a favourite? Happy Day Printable Card   Painted with oils in Corel Painter X3. Sentiments and layout created with My Memories Software. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Stay creative . Deena
