Playing Around with Distress Markers

I was playing around with my new stamps and decided to colour one with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I used the image Oak Tree Girl from Whimsy Stamps, she is so adorable.

I did not keep track of the colours used as I was playing with them.  I recommend you make a chart to show what the colours look like with and without water as they can be totally different.



I finished off the card with some Prima bling, a die cut doily and some acrylic leaf gems.  The lilies are from Wild Orchid Crafts which I purchased at Not2Shabby.  And of course the fall leaves are some that I have been hoarding in my stash from Michaels.

I love how the card turned out and it is really helping me look forward to fall =)

Happy Papercrafting!

Greeting Farm Tags

I received my new Greeting Farm stamps last week - the Spooky Kit and the last batch of Super Secret Stamp Club - woohoo!!  They are so super cute, we inked them up and started colouring right away.  So then what to do with those coloured images.  I haven't made tags in such a long time so I decided to pull out the manilla shipping tags and Tim Holtz Distress Ink and get dirty - hehe.

Here are my tags and Copic colours used to colour the images - to see them up close and more details please check out my youtube channel.

Guest Designer, Little Blue Button Stamps - Yah me!!!

Hi Everyone!

I am so happy to be coming to you today with a project for Little Blue Button Stamps.  I was chosen to be a guest designer for the month of June and will be sharing three projects with you.

So, for my first project I started with Sweet Geisha Charlie and I wanted to alter an item.  I chose a paper mache note pad holder that has been in my stash for quite some time.  I started by colouring it with black gesso and then covering it with patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Enchanted paper line.

She turned out so sweet.  I coloured her up with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers and added some glossy purple with a Sakura gel pen.  I used the Tim Holtz Ornate frame for the background and stood it up with a picture frame backing that I pulled off of one of the Micheals $1.50 ceramic frames.
Added some little white doilies from my stash and decorated with roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and cherry blossoms from I am Roses.

Check out my YouTube channel for a closer look and a list of marker colours used.
Stay tuned for more projects before the end of the month - thank you so much for stopping by.
