Anything Goes

Hi Everyone,

I am excited to share with you a Printers Tray I did a few months ago using Magnolia Stamps.

I must admit that I have shared this on a couple of Facebook Groups but never on my blog.

I just love doing the normal shaped (rectangle) printers tray but wanted to try a circle shaped, so I contacted Vanessa at 2Crafty Chipboard and asked her to cut one for me.  I must say that I am totally hooked.

Don't forget to join us in the Anything Goes Challenge over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog.

I have used my copics to colour the Magnolia stamps and resin flowers for embellishments.

Copics Used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20, Copic Opaque White

Hair: E70, E74, E77

Clothes: R81, R83, R85, BB21, B24, BG01, BG02, BG05

Pendant

Hi Everyone,

You all know by now that I am totally addicted to Resin Flowers.

Anything but a Card

Hi Everyone,

A new Challenge has started over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog.

This month we have decided to step out of the comfort zone of 'cards' and challenge you with ........ Off the page (anything but a card or layout).

For your inspiration today, I decided to do an ATC.

Instead of using a coloured image, I used the the reinkers & my air compressor to create a background on the back on an Acrylic ATC.

The flowers are resin flowers from Handmade Halo and I coloured them with my copics.

Copic Reinkers Used:

R81, R83. R85

Until next time
