Playing with my Pretty Pink Posh Goodies

I received my order last week from Pretty Pink Posh. I ordered her 2 dies and her spring mix sequins.  I finally found the time to play with them today.  I love her products and she is such a special lady.  I love watching her on YouTube.  Here is  a card I made.  It is my very first shaker card, but I am pleased with how it turned out.  I used the Stitched Duo dies.

I used The Stamps of Life hot4balloons stamp and die sets.  The cardstock is Close to My Heart Pear, Daisy White, Lagoon and a bit of Honey. Ink colors I used are CTMH and are Honey, Cotton Candy and Thistle.  I used a piece of acetate from some packaging.  I have to admit I am smitten with sequins;)

You Color My World

If you are a follower you know I love rainbows and when I saw Nichol Magouirk's Be a Star YouTube video...I knew I had to try it using a rainbow of colors.   Here are my takes on her card. 

I love how they turned out and plan on doing more.  I used the Simon Says Heart Parade Die.  The My Favorite Things Abstract Art Samp Set and the CSA Art Stamp Set.  The You color my world is from The Stamps of Life words4crayons stamp set.  The inks and papers are all from Close to My Heart.

Floating by to say....Hi!

Here is a card made with the June Stamp and Die Club from The Stamps of Life.  It is called hot4balloons.  It is a really fun set!!

The sentiment says Hi!  I embossed the blue cardstock with the CTMH Dot embossing folder and then sanded the surface to bring out the dots.  I used a Wink of Stella pen to glitter up the sun.

The Art of Practicing Gratitude

I am taking part in the 21 Days of Gratitude.  I have been so busy I am just now getting started.  Here is my cover page and Day 1 - Create.

We are given techniques to try, a word, a quote and bible verse to incorporate into our journal pages. On day one we were to try water with course salt add to add texture.  As you can tell I love bright colors:)

Watercolor for Cardmakers Online Class

I am an online class junkie and I am especially fond of the Online Card Classes.  I just finished the Watercolor for Card Makers Class...

 This is great class.  I have learned so many cool techniques to try using watercolor paints and markers.  Here are a couple of my tries at watercoloring a stamped image.  The stamps are from Unity Stamps Phyllis Harris {Artisan} Collection.  I love her images and sentiments!!!  

This first one is my first try at using Tombow watercolor markers and it definitely has a learning curve. 

Here's is my second try and I think this one turned out a bit better.  I think this technique will take some practice to really master but I love it:)
