Colorful Watercolored Owl Ornament

 Hoo hoo. 

 I made this colorful owl ornament at the request of a friend who needed a little gift for an owl-loving buddy. I used that delicious American Crafts smooth glitter paper, and sequins to add some shine and pizzazz. Today is all rainy and icky, so I need a little glimmer to look at.

Here's a close-up of the owl, which is just ink and watercolor on watercolor paper, then cut out and stuck on with stickyback foam. I think the colors turned out pretty well. Bright, just how I like 'em.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend!

Toucan and Budgie Watercolor Painting

 Oh, I know what you all are thinking, "Kira, you have not been posting enough toucan crafts lately, shame." Well, to make up for that, here is a watercolor painting of a toco toucan and his little budgie friend.

They're best friends. happy Friday!

Monster Line Up Card

 Wheeeeweee! This weekend was been crazy-go-nuts! My wicked witch bookmarks were featured on the Reader's Nook facebook page on Friday morning which resulted in an excellent number of sales... So I've spent most of the weekend busting my booty filling orders. I am tired, but happy and grateful for the business :) And I've gotten SO GOOD at making bookmarks! Haha! 

Stamp: "#4024 Line Up" by Kira Nichols for Stampotique

So the crafting plans I had for this weekend got put on hold, and I have to post this card that you may have already seen if you did the last Stampotique Blog Hop. I haven't shared this card here, yet, though. So I feel okay about posting it now. I needed to do a little bloggage tonight and realx and plot my crafting mischief for this upcoming week.

So I really like this card, and this new stamp! And I can't get enough of this glitter paper (the sparkly gray burst shapes coming from the center in the background. It's American Crafts glitter paper. I was sent a little 6x6'' sample of it by Unique Crafters, went loco over it, then searched and found more on clearance at hsn.com. Score.

Anyhoo, I had a pretty great weekend. I hope you did, too.

PS. I really, really, really appreciate you lovelies who read my blog and look at my stuff and have such kind things to say. I love you guys, am grateful, and I don't think I say it enough.
