Eek!

I'm in love with gnomes! I created a fun Christmas card using the Gnome for Christmas stamp and thin cuts! Throw in some coloring with the spectrum noir tri-blend markers and ... voila!

I'm sorry, but how fun are the Kitchen Gnomes! Fun to color and use on scrapbooking pages and cards!

This Kitchen Gnome so reminds me of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets! I can just see the cartoon from my childhood. Oh the memories!

Happy creating!

Hi again!

During the summer last year I had a lot of fun with colors! I learned the Bargello technique. I used just regular ink pads and sponges to create the background effect. I believe there was 5 different greens used on it!

The foliage was just stamped with Staz On ink. I colored the bird and flowers with the spectrum noir tri-blend markers. Then of course had to add some bling with the itty bitty's! 

Each background turns out different! It's one of the great things about this technique! The sizes you cut your strips also make it so that each card is different as well!

So believe in miracles all!

 Say what?

I've let too much time go by since my last post! I haven't been too creative these past weeks, I seem to have lost my mojo and my day job seems to have taken over even outside of work hours. I do plan to step back a bit and work on some things for myself. I want to finish some of the projects I started that were for me, that kind of get pushed to the side at times. In the mean time I'll share some images of some items I've made over the past year!

This is one of my favorites! It's a watercolor wash on the background and a powerful message that everyone should keep in the forefront of their minds! "You are powerful, brilliant, beautiful, and brave. You are stronger than you think. You are amazing just the way you are. You are loved, always. You are enough!"

This one was fun because I used distress oxides for the sunset, moon dust stickles glitter gel for the clouds and coloring with the spectrum noir tri-blend markers! Each time I color I learn more blending techniques!

Well happy crafting to you all!
