We are already halfway through our Cosmo Cricket collaboration week! Each day this week we're sharing projects featuring Cosmo Cricket and Neat & Tangled. We hope that you are enjoying the projects as much as we have been enjoying the products!
Every good collaboration need a couple prizes, right? We've got a great bundle of Cosmo Cricket goodies to share with one of you. Just leave a comment on each post this week and we'll pick a winner and announce them next week.
Cosmo Cricket also has a prize to share, so be sure to stop by and check them out on Facebook and Instagram.
Today Laura and Elena are sharing with us. First up is Laura:
Then I used several of the Swatch Sticks to paint over the resist pattern. I dapped the swatch sticks onto an acrylic block and my water brush to pick up the color and control the intensity.
I added this sweet skunk image from Little Stinker along with a few accents using Glacier White enamel accents.
Next up is Elena:
Hi there! For my first card, I stamped and colored elements from Mermazing and set them against watercolored backdrop. I adore these new products from Cosmo Cricket. They are made for watercoloring dummies like me!
I used the watercolor brush to spread a little water around, then sprinkled some Pool Pixie Paint onto the piece, and basically my work was done.
I blended out the background a bit and added some flecks of lighter and darker paint to give depth to the scene.
My next projects are a little tag duo. I played around with the Candy Pixie Paint for both. On this tag, I used the Resist Pen to add polka dots to the bottom half of the tag, let it dry, and then watercolored with the Pixie Paint over-top. When everything was dry, I used a brown pen to add doodly circles around each polka-dot.
I added the little girl image from Better Together, and the new script Celebrate die to finish off the tag.
For my last tag, I did more of the same: doodled polka-dots with the Resist Pen and watercolored over-top with the Candy Pixie Paint. I added the Hooray wreath a little bird (from Kitty's Favorite Things) to finish off.
Be sure to leave a comment and come back tomorrow for more inspiration from our Design Team. At the end of the week one lucky commenter will win a Cosmo Cricket prize pack!

ReplyDeleteElena echoed my sentiments exactly-"They are made for watercoloring dummies like me!" I really like all little additional details she added- the sequins,flecks of darker, resist circles with doodling-they make so much difference. And I love all the script sentiment dies-I need them!
