My Latest Addiction....


My latest addiction is using color pencils and odorless mineral spirits to color my stamps.... there are tons of tutorials on the net for these but two that have helped me learn this technique are gamsol magic on Splitcoaststampers and this one helped me out alot recently cause I am a more visual learner and it was a great tutorial on GinaK's blog.

I made a Thank You card today for my party lite lady who has worked miracles for me in the last few days... long story short she found a replacement piece for me that I thought I would never get again and for less than what I had originally paid for it.

Well on to the card now... I used a Fabriano Medioevalis card for the cardstock which I had gotten from starlitstudio... these cards are so rich for this technique... I took my stampin up set And Everything Nice and stamped it in Black stazon ink then colored it with prismacolor pencils and gamsol... this is such a beautiful card in person.... have a great night.

A thank you....

Tonight I needed a thank you card for the seniors of my church. They went out of their way for my family this Christmas holiday season and I knew I had to send them a special thank you.


I used Fabriano Medioevalis paper that I had purchased from
Starlitstudio... I had also got some gelly roll sakura stardust pens from her. I used it to make the outline of angel and make the star shine.. these are such great pens... I don't know how i had never had one until now. I then colored the angel in with a new chalk set I had found on Addicted to Rubberstamps. They have a great shimmer to them.
I also used Stampin Up's hostess set warmest regards for the sentiment on the front of the card. I used the gelly roll pen to out line the sentiment after I stamped it in black... I really like this Thank you card. I have had a fun night helping my mom work on her Christmas cards for this year and sharing some techniques with her tonight. I hope you enjoy this card I was able to get done tonight... have a great night and hope to be back tomorrow to post something new again.
