Ice Cream, Anyone?

Oh, hi! I'm so excited to share this card with you! The minute I saw this stamp set from Colorado Craft Company, I knew I had to have it. The ice cream cone is huge. And I mean, HUGE! It's perfect to color with Copics . . . or any other medium, for that matter.

Since I colored up this image, I've been thinking about all the different ice cream flavors that are out there that would be fun to color.  And, I talk about that in the video, too:

Speaking of videos, here's the link to the Vanilla Arts video that I refer to, as well as a link to the blog post about refilling Copics, and the scale I use to weigh my markers.

A Fox and a Frog Go For a Bike Ride

Oh, hi! I'm back with another card using the Arteza Real Brush Pens.  I challenged myself to use a Water Brush and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. And the brush pens made it really easy to color in the teeniest tiniest parts of the stamped image.

Succulent Sparkle

Oh, hi! I've been practicing with the Arteza Real Brush Pens a lot . . . and I still love them.  Here's a card I created using the Succulent Sparkle stamp set from Trinity Stamps.  I'm not a "watercolorist" by any means, but I'm really happy with how this card turned out.

I kinda had an idea to try and make it appear that the succulents were in a planter box of sorts, so with a little bit of embossing, stenciling and ink blending, I was able to create a "gravel" ground and a brick planter box.

You can see how it all came together in the video below:

Succulent Sparkle Stamp Set

Encouragement Hop - MFT Piggy Pebbles - How to Make the Smallest Pom Poms Ever

Oh, hi! I'm so excited to be a part of the Encouragement Hop that was put together by Courtney Kreeber,  Mary Polanco, and Jenn from Scrapbena Creations.  This is a hop to celebrate and encourage ALL crafters and I do hope that you'll hop along.  Who knows . . .you just might find a new favorite crafter to follow!

For my card, I used the super cute Piggy Pebbles from My Favorite Things.  Seriously . . .  her stance and expression just called for pompoms and a sentiment that reads, "I'm rooting for you."  Am I right??
