Steampunk Boots

As crafters it can get very costly to create some of our creations. When we use foil from our kitchen we can use it to pool inks and sprays and other fun crafty supplies. Don't toss that foil, it can be used on a card and you can get some great backgrounds. This was a saved piece of foil and I ran it through the gear emboss folder then added additional red and grey to get the gears to come to life.

Copics used: C0, C1, C3, E00, E13, E15, E21, E35 and Y06.

Coffee

Shaker cards are such fun to give to recipients and can be filled with many fun items. Creating this coffee card I decided that actual ground coffee would be really fun to fill in the shaker card. This card smells wonderful.

Copics used: E21, E31, E35, E37, E39, R29, R32 and RV11.

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.

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.
