Good to be back...

It is so great to have the time to think about crafting and creating videos to share with all of you. I am a teacher and this year has been insane. I live in Houston so it started with Hurricane Harvey... Summer is on the horizon and I am very excited to get back to my love of card making. 

 I have been keeping up with many of the new products the past several months but haven't had much time to play and create. I have also discovered some amazing stamp companies out there that I have been purchasing from as well. There will be a video up within the next week with a haul video showcasing some of the newest stuff I have added to my stash.  

 I will also have a post up very soon with information on a few of the companies mentioned above with coupon codes for a few. 
Have a fabulous day! Be creative in all that you do!

Spilled Paint Made Beautiful . Unity and Brutus Monroe Collaboration

Hello! Today I am  participating in a hop as part of the Unity & Brutus Monroe blog hop  There are four background stamps in the collaboration. They are all amazing!!! I am showcasing the spilled paint background. I started by blending pink and red Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigments on a watercolor panel. Once it had dried completely I placed the background stamp into my Misti and added clear embossing ink . I couldn't decide if I wanted to emboss in Alabaster or Raven . I ultimately decided that Raven would make the gorgeous background pop. Once I heat set the Raven embossing powder I added the panel to a piece of rouge cardstock. I LOVE the color of this cardstock. It reminds me of a subtle hot pink color. So beautiful! I wanted to add some type of floral element to the card. To achieve this I stamped out the rose from Botanical Banners  using raven detail ink and then watercolored  them aqua pigments. I used  pink , for the roses,  red  for shading and g

Merry & Bright Masking

Hello Friends! Happy Wednesday! Today the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team is hopping along showing you how projects created using the technique of masking. There are several reasons that I love the Brutus Monroe Masking Paper. : The masking paper comes in two different sizes 4.25 X 5 and 8.5 X 11 . My favorite size is the smaller. I also love that the backing on the paper has thin lines that allow you to pull the backing off easily no matter how you cut it down.  It dies cuts like a dream What I love the most about this masking paper is that it sticks! It sticks very well and doesn't peel up as you are working around it, but it does not rip the panel when it is removed.  For today's card I used the adorable December Stamp of the Month Light Bulb Stamp and masked it over and over to create my own background patterned with multiple light bulbs. Once the masking was complete I used the same traditional colors to color each bulb. Coloring this card was very relaxing
