Color Challenge - Day 25

Tried a new technique today- I used white ink and white embossing powder with one of my Heartfelt Creations floral stamps on glossy paper, then used Memento inks to resist emboss for the background of this card.  Made it for a friend's retirement!


Fresh As A Daisy Blanket

Color Challenge - Day 24

Card colored with alcohol markers.  Hated the way the butterflies turned out so I "embellished" them by using some stickers I had.  Not sure it comes out clearly, but the wings are glittered.

I had a delightful encounter with 2 lovely women at JoAnn's yesterday!  We talked "crafting" for quite a while.  They helped to reignite my passion for crafting!!  I came home and immediately went to the craft room!

At the request of these gals, here is the link to my YouTube Channel and links I use frequently for crafting supplies and sources for scrapbook events.

Color Challenge - Day 22

Back from vacation and determined to finish the 30 day Challenge, so here is something a little different.  I stamped the same image 3 times and used a different coloring method with each.  Amazing the different effects that are achieved, even by someone as horrible as I am at coloring!
