The Caramel Apple of My Eye

Lawn Fawn's Caramel Apple set is another Christmas gift.  It was stamped in black Archival ink and colored with Arteza Real Brush Markers.  I normally use watercolor paper and a water brush with my Artezas, but this time, I stamped on a smooth blending card stock.  The color seemed to pool on the surface, so I will probably go back to watercolor paper.

Inlaid Squares

One of my Christmas gifts was some cash to spend at a wonderful paper crafting store.  If found the Neat and Tangled Inlaid Squares cover plate die to be intriguing, but truthfully, I wasn't quite sure what the cut would look like.  I love it!  It cuts like a dream, which is important since all the little pieces are needed to put it back together.  There are some very creative samples shown in the Neat and Tangled store. 

The Happy Hydrangea is a Technique Tuesday image which I heat embossed and colored with Arteza Real Brush markers.

Something New from Newton's Nook

This adorable stamp set was a prize from the 25 tags of Christmas, and it arrived in my mailbox while we were traveling.  So glad to have a little time to break it in.  The images work up nicely with Arteza real brush markers on water color paper.

Thanks so much for taking a look,
Christine

So fawned of you

 

Newton's Deer Friend arrived in my mailbox while we were traveling for Christmas.  I was fortunate to have won a prize during the 25 Tags of Christmas event and chose Deer Friend when shopping with the gift code.  I couldn't wait to ink it up and may have stretched the parameters of the Inky Paws Color Challenge just a bit .....

Thanks so much for visiting,

Floral Thanks

I spent a little time yesterday watching crafting videos and came across this beautiful card which inspired this thank you note. The stamps are Papertrey Ink Floral Sketches and the inked area was  done with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide.

Mojo Monday 506: Thanks

Happy 2019, crafty friends!  Card-making is a great way to start a new year, and I need a few thank-you cards.  The central panel is a new Confetti Cut:  the Grid-Stitched Tag and the watercolored flowers were in my "extras" bowl.  They are from Reverse Confetti as well:  Banner in Bloom and Build a Bunch.  I stacked the thanks word die three times and layered everything over a lacy scalloped Verve die (retired).

Thanks for taking a peek,
Christine
