Sticker Egg



The nice thing about stickers, is you can put them over a variety of papers.  Pink printed paper was used here.  The words were embossed in silver to match.  Added a metallic ribbon to finish it off.

Impression Obsession and Flower Soft



Hard to tell by this photo, but the purple stain windows are acetate.  The image was stamped with a purple Stazon pad.  The the image was stamped again with a black pad on white paper.  This image was cut out and fitted with the clear windows.  The window box is popped out and the flowers were colored with Copic markers.  Then white glue was added so the flower soft would stick to it.  Once dry, the glue is invisible.

Kalidacolor and brayer card



A nice, quick card.  The multi colored Kalidacolor pad was used on this card with the use of a brayer.  Once the color was done, the image and words were inked with a dye ink and stamped on the glossy paper.

Dreamweaver Spring Stencil and Paste


Spring is slowly coming to our area, and I am slowly coming back to a regular routine after my trip.  So I am giving myself some grace, and posting some of my favorite spring cards for a few days.  Really want to get back to making some cards, but not yet. 

Used a stencil on this card and covered it with embossing paste.  Actually, two stencils were used but the process was the same for both stencils.  Once the paste was dry, color was added with stencil brushes.  I sure have been enjoying seeing the signs of spring when I'm out walking.

Printworks Easter Card



Got these two stamps recently and wanted to try to do some water coloring with the image.  A palette was made with gelatos and then I used a Dove Blender to apply the color onto a misted watercolor paper.  It turned out ok, but wasn't exactly the look I was going for. Some Copic light gray was added to the background.  Think next time I'll try a more translucent medium.  Some iridescent glitter was added to the center of the flowers.

Faber Castell ClassProject



So after my full weekend of classes what did I do?  Came home and took another class!  After all, why pass up a good opportunity when it's right in front of you?  We had in an instructor from the company.  She showed us how to use Gelatos, Big Ink Markers, Chalkboard paint, and their Whipped paste.  It all came together on this canvas.

Taylor Expressions Belated Birthday



With all my coming and goings and getting back into the swing of things I realized I missed a friend's birthday.  Ooops.  So, I pulled out this nice little cling set and got to work on a quick card to send to her.  Images were colored with Copics and a little bit of stickles was added to the star.  Now, off to send it to her.
