Color Challenge - Day 28

This card is colored using Spectrum Aqua markers.  I saw a tutorial on the Heartfelt Creations blog where you stamp the image then outline the design with the markers and use a water pen to blend.  I really like the effect.

Color Challenge - Day 27

Experimenting with some different ways to "jazz" up some of the background stamps I have.  In this one, I wanted a rather vintage look, so I used Distress Ink (Vintage Photo) and sponged it on white card stock.  Then stamped the image with brown ink and colored with my alcohol markers.  I stamped a second image onto white yardstick and fussy cut out the dress, colored and shaped it to match the card then pop dotted it so it would stand up.  I added gold wink a stella on the dress, a gemstone at the breast of the gown and some pearls for the flower centers.  Some of the flowers look a bit bright, but I think it looks OK --

Color Challenge - Day 26

Today made a side step Birthday card for the son of a friend.  The theme was "Caterpillar turns 1" - used Spectrum Aqua markers to color the bugs and then Wink A Stella to make them glitter.

Another Graduation Card

Card for a friend's daughter who graduates from High School this month.  I love adding "google eyes" to cards!




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

Finally finished this blanket I started AGES ago!!

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.
