Trick or Treat!

These three little cuties are from the Halloween EZMount™ Stamp Set - Trick or Treating


The images are stamped onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock. I colored the little trick-or-treaters' with Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored PencilsSpectrum Noir Paper Stumps, and Spectrum Noir Blending Solution.  For their skin, I used Spectrum Noir Markers as my first layer, then used the pencils for the shading.  The background is a gelli print from my stash.

Elegant Vintage Birthday Card

I made this card for my daughter-in-law. She loves all things vintage.


 The lovely woman is from Claritystamp Limited - Elegant Ladies Stencil Set. Isn't she fabulous?!  Note: After the first layer of embossing paste dried, I added a second layer to make her really pop off the page. 



The sets includes both the stencils and and masks of six stylish women. I used the matching mask on the inside.

Watercolored Poppy

Today I'm highlighting poppies.


 The rich, beautiful red was created with Spectrum Aqua Markers and Fireworks Sprays. I colored the aqua markers direct and spread the color with a water brush. I poured a little Fireworks Spray onto a palette and picked up color with the water brush and spread it in the middle of the pedals.


The background is a gelli print from my stash. To see how I make my gelli prints, click here.
