Autumn Mosaic

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm still enjoying Fall colors.  These leaves were cut from some bits and pieces of

watercolor paper colored with Lindy's Magicals.  The mica in the Magicals has

a subtle shimmer that makes them even more fun.

Magical Poinsettia

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I recently zoomed with some crafty friends and tried this new to me technique.

We inked a stamp with VersaMark ink and brushed on some powdered ink.

I used Lindy's Magicals.  Then we lightly spritzed the stamp and 

stamped on Mixed Media Paper. I actually got 7 pulls

with this inking.  Some weren't great, but I had several I could use.

Thank you Loll for sharing this technique with us.

Butterflies

Hello friends.  I'm glad you stopped by today.

I have a threefer of butterflies to share with you today.

These are cards I'd done through the year and never got on my blog.

My butterfly was stamped and heat embossed on vellum and

colored on the back with Zigs and a barely damp waterbrush.

When it was dry, I fussy cut it and trimmed down a piece of dry embossed leaves for

him to perch on.  Then I framed it all in some gray "white space".

This card uses a sweet little butterfly stamp by Lost Coast Designs.

I had the die cut in my UFO box with the background all picked out.

The background was smooshed on cardstock with re-inker and frost white paint.

All it needed was this fussy cut butterfly and a sentiment to finish it off.

He's been heat embossed and watercolored.

I love it when I can use one of those UFOs!

This beautiful die cut butterfly was from a play with my friend Nance (Soul Stampin' Designs).

It makes such a Quick And CAS card when paired with a colorful background

with Lindy's Magicals splashed onto coated cardstock.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Indroducing Emmy

Hi there.

I want to introduce you to an upcoming talent in the cardmaking world.

My lovely granddaughter, Emmy has been spending lots of time with me.

A couple of weeks ago I introduced her to Brushos and Lindy's Magicals.

She was a goner!

She did LOTS of backgrounds.

She picked one that would be perfect with the mermaid stamp on my shelf.

Here's a closer look at the card.

Her Aunt Kelli is going to love this!

She did a beautiful job on the inside with some flowers and a
message that will bring tears to her aunt's eyes.

We'll be sharing more in the coming days and months.

What a joy to share this wonderful obsession hobby with her!

And a special thanks to Ms. Loll for making her a watermark.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Happy News with Lindys Magical for CAS Watercolour

Hello dear friends.

There's still some time left to enter at CAS Watercolour.

CAS Watercolour

My background was made by sprinkling Lindys Magicals on watercolor paper 

and spritzing with water.

I used a water brush to help move the color around.

See the shimmer from the Lindy's Magicals?

I love the shimmer and brilliant colors!

Thanks for the gift, my friend!

I cut my bird with the Penny Black Happy News die and then

added texture to the die cut with the PTI Linen Texture Plate.

There are lots of gorgeous birds in the CAS Watercolour gallery.

And more inspiration from our talented Guest Designer, Stef,

and our awesome team.

I hope you'll check us out!

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
