Cozumel Cards & Arts

While we do see changes in the seasons here in Cozumel, they are nothing like I am used to coming from the midwest. This garden door page shows some beautiful colored leaves not typical of the fall colors I enjoyed back home. But beautiful non the less.

Cake is the answer Part 2.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these little cakes. These are from Johanna Basfords Worlds of wonder colored using a color along "coloring with Miss martly". Plenty of things to celebrate with cake. These cards are just the icing on the cake.

Sometimes living on an island can complicate my process. I have big big plans then I run out of something.... pretty essential. Like adhesive.
Here I am laying out some cards and getting things cut and ready while I wait for adhesive tape. it looks pretty messy, but when I got the adhesive I could wrap these babies up in a hurry.

Making Digital Paper.
Card stock/Paper is not something too easy to find here in Cozumel. I can get it, but it can be musty, thin, sun faded and basic. I love using printed paper by Echo Park and Carta Bella, but international shipping is tricky. If I can get it shipped here sometimes customs can jam up a shipment. Also, sometimes shipments get STOLEN! ( COPIC MARKERS💔)
I love to use tone-on-tone papers to complement my coloring pages. So I decided to try using canva to create my own tone-on-tone pattern paper for my next set of cards. I took pictures of my pages then used the color dropper tool to choose nice colors from the page. I had them printed at Office Max on card stock for 21 pesos per page (1.12). Not too bad. I am working on my Spanish so i will address the borderless printing next time.
This set of digital paper is available for digital download on my etsy site.

Sometimes after I cut the page up into smaller pieces, the backside is a prettier card. That was the case for this one. 2 of these cards are shrimps/fish and 2 ended up being the flowers from the page on the back.
