The ink is Memento Sand and doesn't come up as bright as I hoped for.. but you can see the joy of Penny Black's Snow Trot. The tree is  and sentiment is from Gina Kay, and the Star on Wonder on top of the tree is a Memory Box die. ribbon from RRR. Love making tags and this one is a joy. thanks for looking and hope you enjoy.

thank you, thank you Darsie for the video on using the Vintage Filigree Layer dies. I know understand how to get the four images with the two dies, an can enjoy the die. these were very helpful to know the products and love your creations. Inspiring. thanks again.
I store my dies in Martha Stewart plastic pockets, which are in different sizes, they have cover flaps over each pocket, inside I place the dies on magnetic sheet cut to the pocket size. then label with name of co. on the plastic pocket. All are put in albums. sorted by theme.


I wasn't sure how to add the whole page, so do have a look at the tutorial on JustRite Website,
good information on water coloring with distress inks.....thanks for looking... I was happy and surprised to win. ....have a good day.

Bluebonnet Birthday

I made this for my granddaughter, who lives overseas; wanted to send a greeting from Texas.
So thought these Bluebonnets were perfect since they are the state flower.
This is a new stamp Melanie Muenchinger from STTV, Fabulous Frames, I made templates
for the design, as her videos suggest; such a versital frame image for so many occasions.
I also used her State Flower #1 stamp for the images. They were colored with Intense Ink pencils.
then I used distress inks to blend the background. then colored the surrounding frame,
a one layer card that looks several layers. Neat, good for postage, an time.
Card stock is PTI white, and the ink an colors did not fad through.
think I will enjoy this image, now that I have made the templates for design and challenge.
Hope you enjoy, I love how it turned out.

Impression Obession Are We There Yet?

I wanted to use my new MarieAnn die, so this was a good time. I love the lace look., and this Stampabilites Love Paris seemed to fit the Challenge and the new die. Never been to Paris, but the Song about Paris in the Spring reminded me of  this Paris image and  challenge. I used watercolor Faber Castel, pencils, Sharpie and jel pen.
Then did the distress edge with PTI melon berry ink. Berry Sorbet ribbon and stash accents. PTI Berry Sorbet card stock. AH! Paris, make a wish, who knows. Would be wonderful....thanks for looking, hope you like it.
