Colour Create Blue and Green Elegance

I checked out the Colour Create blog for the colors this week. The colors to use were blue and green. In looking at my sets I ran across Simply Said and thought it would be fun to use this set. I began by inking up the stamp and wiping off the green from the flowers. Then using a marker I colored the flowers blue. I stamped the image and mounted it on Bashful Blue and…

Sketch Set – A Little Late

Well I did not get my sketch set finished yesterday. My car was ready and I had to pick it up then I had to get a tool to get my tire back on my lawnmower. I have not cut my grass in over a week as I couldn’t get the tire on. I finally bought an $18 tool and got it on in 10 seconds. Why didn’t the guy at the garage tell me…

I have used it on several cards but…

Today’s card is bright and cheerful (got to have some brightness somewhere). I began by stamping my image and coloring it using the colors from the Rainbow Sherbet DS paper. Then it was a matter of layering…

Real Black Olives

I got some new toys the other day that I wanted to use so I used them on this card. I got several Nestabilities Label dies from Spellbinders. I chose the Labels One to use on this card. I also used some more of my…
