I'll be sharing my card sets with you. But first two cards.
The first was the result of me finally figuring out my Pentel Aquash water brush. I'd taken it apart so many times (thanks to this video) but it still seemed "clogged" and would let out a big blob of water on the side of the brush. I finally read somewhere to put the valve in bleach to clean out any pigment that might be dried in there (don't know if it's happened to you but sometimes the valve seemed to have worked in the wrong direction and soaked color into the tank, which after time I guess can clog that tiny hole in the valve) and voila! So I did a test piece with Zigs and the brush. It appears to work again! The test piece was the bear in a square...
Using Klartext Lasse and Peer
... which became this card thanks to the sketch at Just Add Ink! I'm playing at:
Just Add Ink - #385
And then, since Lasse and Peer were out, I made a birthday card for the little guy DD babysits. Last year he got a shaker with the polar bear. This year a reindeer jack-in-the-box (was not my intention, but somehow that's the feeling I get from the design!)
Using Klartext Lasse and Peer, STAMPlorations Gift Builder #2
Again, used my Zigs and water brush. And some little boy colors. Added a bit of Wink of Stella to the stellars up top and voila!
I'm playing at:

Happy Little Stampers - AG with Dies November
Thanks for visiting. I'll be back with my sets shortly. The first one features Lasse and Peer. In holiday attire!

I saw that sketch and immediately discounted using it - I din't like it at all and yet I adore your colourful quirky card! Actually I like both cards and the stamp set - I followed your link and I've never heard of this company before - I think they're in Europe so maybe I could buy from them, before Brexit!
Awww, these cards are truly amazing. Love them! xx
Two awesome cards Maria. LOVE the sweet polar bear Christmas card. Adorable!! And same for the reindeer jack-in-the-box ... the little guy is going to love it! Bet he laughs ... it's so fun! Thanks for the tip about cleaning out the valve with bleach. I will give that a try. I have two waterbrushes I just stopped using because of the same trouble you were having. Thanks for sharing your polar bear card with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
Sweet cards, Maria! LOVE these images and how you've used them in your designs. That bear is adorable, and I do love the string of stars you've created. Fun reindeer, too. I'm pretty certain that the little guy is going to love this cute little card! Well done you!! Bev
I just love these C&S cards Maria, the colour draws you right in to those adorable images. Love the way you used the sentiment to suit the sketch. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
These are two gorgeous cards Maria! I love how vibrant your colouring of this super cute image is and using your sentiment for the sketch elements is so clever! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
Great to see this whimsical little bear again, Maria ... cute, quirky and fun ... not sure if he's Lasse or Peer, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of them both here soon! Hugs, Anita :)
