This piece has loads of layers of texture, inspired by old spackled walls and vintage love letters.  Bits of washi tape and stitch effects to balance the composition with a single daisy and a few sprigs of leaves.  The color pallet was inspired by our late fall travels through the Utah desert. Flowers in a Jar If you’re interested, my digital work can be printed on canvas and shipped.   Contact me  for more details.

In the last post I shared my 24 watercolors from following the Brushes with Bree 2025 Advent Calendar.  Today I’m sharing the pieces I created layering some of the completed pieces to create different compositions and small scenes.

I’ve had a goal to create a daily art practice for a while now, but this year came with a lot of changes.  Hubby retired, we moved into our fifth wheel, we sold our house and left Alaska, we started chasing the sun and traveling.  All of which kicked my goal of a daily art practice to the back burner.   December rolled around and I felt like we finally had a bit more of a routine in our life of living on the road, so I treated myself to a digital advent calendar.  Each day I opened a new Procreate tutorial focused on watercolor techniques.  These are the results of that daily, or nearly daily practice, as some days we were busy so I would have to play a little catch up.  I really enjoyed the challenge of creating all of these pieces.  In the next post, I’ll share the projects I created layering some of the competed pieces to create different compositions.   Day 1 - Holly Day 2 - Hot Cocoa Day 3 - Cherry Pie Day 4 - Striped Bow Day 5 - Cranberri...

Inspired by the colors of late summer and the seasonal shift coming, with deeper blues and rich greens.  I’ve laced textures and elements for this piece, teasing that winter is on the horizon, but not quite here.  I’ve added bits of words and warn paper with ink rings and splotches.   Layers of Texture If you’re interested, my digital work can be printed on canvas and shipped.   Contact me for more details.

If you saw the post a few days ago, you know that the Printables I design have a new home right here on the blog.  They are Quote Clippings & Journal Cards for junk journaling, card making, scrapbooking and paper crafting.  They also make great little bits for tucking notes in packages, lunch boxes and any other little place you think might need a quote or a little snip of art. Bicycle Quotes I’ve been collecting quotes for decades, with no real plan to do anything with them other than tuck them in a common place book for my own pleasure of collecting words I love.  I collect, funny, snarky, witty, serious, touching and moving little snips of words.   A few years back I started playing with creating my own journal cards when I kind of fell through a free printable ephemera rabbit hole.  I have a habit of thinking “why can’t I make this?”. Which then leads me down the path of creating something to use in my own creations.  I’ve used some of the older de...

I’ll save you the pain of the long story but the long and the short of it is that Ecwid, the platform I used for years for my online shop closed my shop without notice.  Turns out they decided to eliminate their free tier and force customers to pay for a shop or close their account.  I opted to close my account.  As a result that left me without a place to make my printables available to the public.   Tulips I’ve spent a little bit of time figuring out how to host all of those designs here on the blog, and will be adding new designs soon.   There are currently 13 designs available for your junk journalling, card making, scrapbooking, paper crafting pleasures.   All you have to do is click the Printables tab at the top of the page to find all the free goodies! There is no longer the hassle of adding things to a cart and going through a checkout process.  You can click the link under the pic to download the design.  If you feel generous, there is a...
