Hey there, the Coastal Retreat is right around the corner! This is a project that I'll be teaching on Friday (sign up at Memories of Time). It's uses the "Gap" card technique. It's so easy to make and a little different than a traditional card!
We'll make a set of four cards, the box to hold them in and even add some die cuts to the envelopes...no stamping...no coloring! *grin* Hope to see you there!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey there, after coloring that cutie pie dragon from Whimsy, I couldn't wait to color another. This is Heidi...she was stamped on Neenah with Tuxedo Black then colored with Copic markers. The layout is from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. Love the simplicity! Since I didn't use a sentiment, I love that this could be given for Christmas, a birthday, get well, missing you...

Hey there, I think I've overloaded you on gift card holders and matching gift bags, so how about a project that focuses on coloring? I recently made my very first Whimsy/Wee Stamps purchase...this stamp was one of them. I'm really excited to finally color a Sylvia Zet image! How stinkin' cute is that dragon playing in the fall leaves? Love!
The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah card stock then colored with Copic markers. I have to say, it was a little challenging to match the blue/green color of the dragon to the Doodlebug paper! I am really happy with the result though! I kept the design CAS (clean and simple) by adding a few banners and a single Taylored Expressions acorn die cut. The acorn was cut from Neenah then colored with Copics. The pieces were adhered together then shaped using a stylus and soft mat before being popped up on foam.
