Happy May Day!

I made this little flower box for a girlfriend.  We always exchange little treats on May 1st, or May day as we call it.  I've got some Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen action on the flowers.

Keeping it Simple!

My favorite cards are normally the really basic ones.  These two sweeties are from Some Odd Girl, Baker Mae and Cupcake Mae.  Anything that involves cake is fun - right!!

These two images are now available as digital stamps!  Kristy is bringing back some retired stamp sets as digis.  Be sure you check out what's new.  Well it's old, now NEW!

Spring Flowers!

I got some coloring in with Spectrum Noir markers.  I am still learning about their colors and what works well blending and what doesn't, but I love the challenge of a coloring learning curve.

This digi image is from Some Odd Girl, Daisy Mae.  The flowers are from Crafter's Companion Colorista Elements 1 stamp set, and the die cut flowers are from Crafter's Companion Edge'ables Floral Dance.  The white clouds are embossed with Crafter's Companion embossing folder Birthday Party Scattered Dots.

IB1, IB2, IB3 = clothing

CG3, CT1, CT2, BO3, RB2, HB1, HB2, AP1, AP2, AP3, GY4, CT4 = flowers

FS2, FS4, FS9, CR3 = skin

EB3, TN3, TN1 = Hair

BG1, BG3 = shadows

Quick peek at Watercoloring with Spectrum Sparkle Pens

Watch how easy it is to watercolor using Spectrum Sparkle Pens on Spectrum Aqua Watercolour cardstock.

The digi stamp is on the CD that comes with the 2017 Spring Edition of Crafter's Companon Inspiration Magazine (available May 9 on HSN, more info available HERE).

I merged the cupcakes together and added the sentiment, printed it, and watercolored.

I also used products by Core'dinations, Freckled Fawn, Echo Park, and Doodlebug.
