Paint jars

Quick post today!  I start a new semester of Drawing class today! YAY! I thought I would share a card I made to send in my payment to the instructor.  I almost didn't send it because I thought maybe I should have drawn the mason jars, it is a drawing class after all, but in the end I sent it in.
The little paint brush is not a Stampin' Up! stamp, its one of the very few non-Stampin' Up! items I own! I don't even have the package anymore so I can't tell you the name but it is by Illustrated Faith.
I barely did any drawing things over the summer, too hard with the kids home. I did do a couple silly fun things, so I thought I would share them here since I did paint them with my Stampin' Up! ink pads and Aqua Painter!!  Art class is my fun thing where I get to be the student, and it's not a graded thing or anything, just for fun, so no stress, which is good because I'm not sure what sort of grade I would get :) 

First I made this cat with coffee.  I saw one like this on Pinterest and had to make my own.

Then I saw this fun mermaid on a box at Starbucks and decided to make that too.  I made it for my daughter Jillian who always plays "mermaid" in the tub and the pool. 

I showed it to Jillian and she said that it was 'highly inappropriate",
so I made need to add a top :) 
To get the border around the edges I used another Stampin' Up! product, my Washi Tape!  I painted the mermaid then taped the edges and painted the background. 







Well, off to class!

Thanks for stopping by!
