Easter Bunny says Hi

Isn't he the cutest bunny ever?  Gotta love that bunny butt.

Happy Easter!!

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday to my Mom....65 today.
I used Color Burst with the Color Burt Metallics. So awesome to use!

Happy St Patties Day!

Cheers to all my Irish friends and those who proclaim to be today just for the green beer.

Color Burst and painting

I have this great flower I like to use when I want to do a watercolor wash. I used the Color Burst on the background first and got that effect figured out and then I sprinkled the little red on the flower area and added water with a brush.  After it was dry I used liquid Pearls to finish the inside of the flower.  A Lawn Fawn hello is all it needed to finish it off.  Too much fun for me!

Color Burst Metallics and Caribbean Brights

The other half.  Remember the card from the other day that used a portion of a background....well, here is the other piece.  Great metallic effects and bright bright colors.

Color Burst Brights.....awesome

So I got the Color Burst Brights set and some metallics the other day.  What an amazing product to work with.   So much fun to use and the effects are just awesome.  Watercolor with a vibrancy that you just can't get from  regular watercolors.  Every single time you use it you will get a different look. It is one of those products you are meant to play with.

The awesome bunny from Taylored Expressions is pretty cute too!

Color Burst and Gesso

Obviously one of my favorite tools these days is the Color Burst inks. This time I used the inks and let it dry and then followed that up with a stencil and some Gesso.  Fun effects.

Color Burst Metallics

I love crafty time. Sometimes you just have to get those fingers full of ink and get creative.  I took a background piece and cut it at an angle and layered it with a fun pattern.  You'll see the other half in a future post.  See that awesome shimmer in the Color Burst piece?? It comes in Awesome colors that go with the original Color Burst dry powder inks.  Get them all at Picture This in Eau Claire.

Grumplings and an Arboscello tree

Leftover backgrounds and little Grumplings. I used a bunch of little bits from my stash to complete this card.  An extra background, tag and tree from the stash added to a freshly colored Grumpling finish off this card.

Color Burst

More glossy paper birthday fun.  It's hard to take e good photo of a glossy paper card but you can see the shine in the paper.  I used a cute kitty and some COPIC markers to color him in.  A simple background using Color Burst is really easy with the glossy paper. It makes for a very different look than when you use the regular paper. Give it a try.

Happy Birthday

More Grumpling birthday fun.  Today is my birthday, so I thought it was appropriate to post a birthday card.  Love those little Grumplings!

Taylored Expressions Happy Hens

My little chickens.  The closest I will get to the real thing.  I  made the background with my Color Burst inks and the chickens are from Taylored Expressions, all on glossy paper.  The Eggs are also a Taylored Expression set but from the "If Bunnies could Talk" stamp and die set.  You should see the bunnies on this set. Well, stay tuned, you will see what I did with those bunnies on future posts.

Taylored Expressions Holiday Grumplings

I had a very productive weekend with some friends and I got a lot of card making done.  14 cards and 1 scrapbook page to be exact.  We had lots of food and fun and laughs.  I used my Holiday Grumplings, some COPIC markers and my stars from the My Favorite Things "Sun, Moon and Stars" die set to finish this little card off.

Color Burst and Unity Stamps

One of my favorite things is a good margarita. Since you can't have one every day a margarita stamp will work in its place.  I used my new Color Burst ink powders on the background and an old stamp set that I have in my margarita collection for the stamping.  A few bits and pieces of paper and trims finish out the card.
