Thinking of You

Recently I assisted a scout troop with earning their textile merit badge. One of the requirements for that badge is to use items other then dies to color fabric. This ribbon was white and after having it sit in coffee I was able to stain it nearly the color of the designer paper just above it. I love the effect of coloring something to match the paper or colors of a card and using something that I already have rather than buying is always a savings.

I am always looking for ways to use scraps and adding banners is always a great way to add scraps.

This darling baby shoe from Heartfelt Creations is so fun to add to a baby card. Of course since I just love Heartfelt Creations and I love shoes well I just had to get this fun die cut.

Vintage Lily Birthday

The Vintage Watercolor Technique was really wonderful to play with and truly turned out better than I had anticipated. I added the link to my card on Splitcoast Stampers and on my card is the link to the great technique.

Santa's Sleigh

This was a really fun experiment to mask off the ornament and spritz water and then water color the blues. It really turned out better than I had imagined. I need to get a bigger brush for water coloring but the effect is still amazing.

Pretty Package

I have been asked how I package my 3D cards. On Splitcoast Stampers there is a link to a great A2 box that works perfectly for these 3D cards. If you follow the link to my box on SCS below you will see the link to the A2 box.

Birthday Mum

This sweet flower was a RAK and of course I already love this flower as I have the set from Heartfelt Creations. I was excited to play with this as I just love the dimension you can get from this stunning flower. Since I had the base already created with the script and on the purple I decided to color the mum in purple.
