Kelly Mickus

Kelly Mickus was another one of our digital sponsor's for the Oct/Nov issue of Ready, Set, Create. Her style is amazing - I could work with her stuff all day long and never get tired of it. I used her "Whisper" Kit on the layout below.

Another sponsor for the Oct/Nov issue was My Grafico. They have the cutest clipart! I made most of my baby thank-you cards from them and loved the way they turned out.

I used watercolor pencils and Stickles on the birds to jazz them up a bit. The watercolor pencils are super easy - you color in your image, then take a paint brush with a little water on it and paint over the color. It gives it a nice texture. You can color darker in the areas where you want more color - a little goes a long way. You can find watercolor pencils in the same place as the paints and sketch pencils in your arts and crafts store.
