Hi Ladies!
Well we got some more snow last night. It was supposed to be between 2 and 4 inches before it ends today. After spending a week and a half in California with beautiful warm weather I was not looking forward to this. At least we will be up to about 70 by Wednesday. I am so ready for some warm weather so I can wear flip flops.
When I was in California I took a few stamped images and some new coloring ideas and tools I ran across. I had been watching a lot of You Tube videos for different coloring techniques. I found some fun ones that I tried out. I will be sharing some of my efforts throughout the next few weeks.
For today’s card I recently purchased some Inktense pencils. I have the prismacolor ones but the Inktense are watercolor while the prismacolor uses mineral spirits to blend the color. I saw several different ways to blend the the Inktense pencils. One of the ways was to use the Wink of Stella pen to blend the colors. I colored my image with the pencils then went over it with the Wink of Stella pen. when it was all finished I had a glittery image.
To create my card, I cut out my image. I took the Softly Falling embossing folder and embossed a white piece that was my layer. I mounted the layer onto Melon Mambo card base. I added my image with dimensionals. I then cut out my greeting and mounted it onto the card base with dimensionals.
As it turns out the colors I went with actually fit the color challenge at Color Throwdown
Here is my final creation.

Thanks for visiting me today! I am supposed to have a couple of workshops today. We will see if the snow cancels them or not. If it does, I will be playing in my craft room. Have a Fabulous Friday!
