The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 4

I made 6 of these cards as I am in desperate need of birthday cards.

I love the purple and red together as it very bold.

I used Studio 71 alcohol markers to color everything.

The background is a 3D embossing folder from We Are Memory Keepers.

The flowers and vase are from Stampendous.

I just love how these turned out.

The flower stamp is from Hobby Lobby.
I colored it with my new Studio 71 alcohol markers.
The square double stitched dies are from Gina K.
The sentiment is from Stampin Up.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 2

I got this stamp at the Whipper Store when I was in Wisconsin.

It is made by Rubbernecker and it is a two step stamp.

First you stamp the outline stamps in black.

Then you go back and watercolor the middle stamps and stamp between the black lines.

I loved this set as I have made many different color cards with it.

The sentiment is from Gina K. 

A few sequins and the card is done!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day One

To start out the week and day one of the coloring challenge,

I made this card using the peony stamp set that was in our swag

bag at Junkie Fest last year.  It is a the Gina K. peony set.

I used my Spectrum Noir markers and chose a very light coral to

make this sympathy card.   

I heat embossed the sentiment on black paper with white embossing powder. 

I added a few very little sequins to balance it out.

I hope that sequins look ok on a sympathy card.

What are your thoughts?

Hello Lovely

Yesterday my friend Cindy asked me to give her a challenge to get her mojo going.

I told her to go to her studio and get out her Hello Lovely stamp 

and make a card with it.

So I did the same.  

I made two different cards with that same stamp.

I used my Spectrum Noir pens to color with and I am happy at how they turned out.  Of course I like the red one best as I am more partial to reds and bold colors.

Messy Craft Room

My Craftroom was a holy terror.  Just a big mess!

I promised Lani a new blog post so I decided to show her the bad

and the good.

Ok here are the clean pictures.

You can see my desk now.

You actually see the tv too.

Now I am a happy camper and can craft away.

Enjoy Lani!

Shaker Flower Cards

I got a new die from on line to make a shaker flower card.

For the life of me I could not figure out how to use this die.

My son came over and helped me to figure it out.

It took him 3 seconds being the engineer that he is.

Thank you Johnny!

Once I learned how to make these cards, I went

crazy with different colors and sequins, some with

tulle and some with acetate.

I found that the tulle was easier with no static.

I also discovered that using double sided paper made

all the designs go better.

I like using up some of my patterned paper

as even though they are busy papers, they

work with this design.

I like putting a touch of colored sequins inside to give

the card a little zip and bring it all together.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed

making them, once Johnny showed me what to do!
