For the Fisherman in your Life

Basic Grey has the most awesome papers and I spotted this sheet at my local ss and JUST HAD TO HAVE IT!

I took another sheet of brown background paper and added some Distress Soot Black and distressed the edges a bit.  I then added some Peel Offs that I colored here and there with an olive green Touch marker.  I painted the boat with some US Artquest Mica Magic watercolor paints.  A real quick card but it does have some punch to it and would make a perfect guy card, don’t you think?

Have a super day!

One of my favorite stamps

I colored with Tombow markers directly on this Penny Black stamp and overstamped on to a background piece that I had stamped with a piece of textured wallpaper using Distress Inks.  Thank you Susan for inspiring me to stamp with wallpaper.  I really like the subtle effect.  Using the same Distress ink I edged the torn piece of patterned paper.  Added some Stickles to the flowers and a couple of Peel Off border strips to finish it off.

New from Magenta!

I love these new flower cards from Magenta!  I had a blast making this one and will definitely be making more.

The cards are white and I’ve colored it by brayering chalk ink.  I jazzed it up a bit, okay a lot, by adding  some peel-offs, ribbon and Stickles and voila!

Peel-Offs as a Mask

For this card I used the Magenta Peel-Offs as a mask.  The image is panted with US Artquest mica water color paints.  Once dry the Peel-Offs were removed.  Kind of a neat look I think and I can reuse the Peel-Off!  Recycling is good!!!!

Happy Easter

To all my blog friends, Happy Easter.

For this card I stamped the flowers (Magenta) on black cardstock with white pigment ink.  I colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The Happy Easter stamp is by Paper Inspirations.  The black Peel-Offs are from Magenta.  Thanks for stopping by.

Black & White Valentine's

Sorry for the crooked scan and the scanner likes to throw in a pink hue that is really not there. The heart was stamped with Versamark ink on black glossy cardstock and heat embossed with fine detail white embossing powder. This was mounted to a Cuttlebug background and then on to a white card. I added some black peel offs to finish it off.

The stamps and peel-offs are from Magenta and the flowers of been colored with watercolor pencils and Mica paints.

Have a super day and thanks for stopping by.
