Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers meet #thedailymarker30day2


I am participating in Kathy Racoosin's 30-day coloring challenge. You can read about it HERE -- it's basically a challenge to color for a few minutes every day. There are fun videos & prizes too.

I inked up some PTI stamps that I hadn't used yet & colored them w/my new Zig watercolor markers on Tim Holtz watercolor paper. It is really easy to get a nice result.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI cardstock & stamps, Memento ink, Zig markers, Tim Holtz watercolor paper, water brush

PTI March Blog Hop -- Easter card


I made an Easter card for my daughter, using the inspiration photo HERE for the PTI Blog Hop.
The sun rays die is borrowed from a friend (Hi, Josiane!) so I thought I would get some of it while I had it.
I really like the weight of the new PTI vellum that I used for the clouds -- they show up better in real life.
Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: PTI - cardstock, PP, stamp, ink, dies; Spellbinders circles; foam adhesive; Cuttlebug folder

Ornament for my daughter -- PTI blog hop


I didn't get the gold on it -- only the silver -- for the blog hop. I used silver metallic thread & glass beads that have silver inside them.
I mostly copied this ornament by Nichole & was very pleased with the result. My daughter liked it as well.
Had never done any beading before -- it was a lot of fun.
Thanks for coming by!

supplies: PTI snowflake die, CS; DMC thread, beads from HL, felt from JoAnn

touch of gold birthday card


Sorry the light was bad for this shot.
I made a card for a friend's birthday & tried out some gold papers I had. The banners are cut from Silhouette adhesive-back gold paper -- it's nice & shiny & cut just fine in my Big Shot. the "You" & frame are cut from some American Crafts textured cardstock.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI - dies, cardstock, shimmer card stock, stamp, ink; AC- textured gold cardstock, Silhouette - gold adhesive paper, foam tape
