Hi Friends,

I wonder if caffeine is spelled differently in other countries? I literally just noticed that this stamp only has one "F" in the word, but you know, that's okay.  I think this cat maybe be "under the influence of Caffeine" lol. Even the moon can relate! lol. Sometimes I feel just like this cat when I try to drink more coffee to offset lack of sleep. Then I am just jittering in place and still not accomplishing much, lol. 

 I watched a Jennifer McGuirre video not that long ago and she suggested this Koh-I-Noor paper for water colors. Turns out she is a genius! Not that I know what I'm doing yet, but this made blending these colors a bit easier. In real life, the black is more of a smokey color, and there is not as much contrast. I will continue to work on my blending. I actually did not realize I don't have the blueprint oxide ink, which is what I had intended to use. But saltey was the darkest blue I had, so I went with it, lol.  I have found a ton of make up brushes at Walmart and Amazon and I'm using those to apply and blend the colors. So much easier to use than the sponge applicators, but then, I am not sure I gave those too much of a chance. I think I decided I wasn't going to be really good at this, so I just didn't attempt to master it. Now I am. Late Bloomer. 

The new Blogger format is now manditory and it is taking some getting used to. But like everything else, I will learn how to navigate eventually. lol. 

I actually made several cards this weekend, but I have not taken the time to photo them and it's already getting late, so I will share this one for now. 

I hope you are well and stay safe.
