PolyChromo Pencils and a Baby Card!

Good morning friends!

By the time this is posted I will be taking off for San Francisco! I am nervous and excited all at the same time!  My life has changed so much the last few months and I am finally starting to enjoy the free time I have.  (And not feel guilty as many of us moms do). I know my girl is happy and well taken care of. My heart is finally in a better place.

So soon, I will be like a honeymooner with my hubby, exploring California.

Before I left I created this card for my neighbor who just had a baby boy.

I have been having so much fun pulling out old stamps that have been collecting dust for years.

This one is by Whipper Snapper.  

I used my Polychromo pencils to color the image and create the tile background, along with a white gel pen. The tag was given a wash of water colors using my Zig markers.  I added a bit of ribbon and a few Dew Drops. Oh! and a bit of sparkle to the bubbles using Stickles.

Have a great rest of your week!

Thank you for making me a part of your day! :)

Water Colors and Stencils!

Good morning my friends!  

Remember yesterday I said I had to pack?

Yea, haven't done it yet.

Total slacker!  I need to get it done today or I will be visiting San Francisco in the same outfit for 5 days! ;)

I am up on the SRM blog today with this card.  I used this cool background stamp and embossed it in white. (And have no idea what company makes the stamp.....I looked, no name). I colored it in with my Zig Markers.

I layered a sun stencil over it and applied clear texture paste.  I sprinkled it with a glittery embossing powder and heat set it after it was dry.  I wanted to add a bit of depth to the rays, so I went back over it with my Zig marker in gray.  

I cut two pinking edge circles and water colored those as well.  I added SRM's Summer Sentiment.

For a finishing touch I added some white dots with a gel pen and adhered a few sequins.

Okay, I am not kidding....

I am going to pack! 

:)

Watercolors, Diecuts, and Stamps! (Oh My!)

Good morning to you!! I am having a bit of coffee and computer time before I head upstairs to pack.  San Francisco is pretty cool, so sweaters and jackets are on my list!

I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog today.  

Coffee=Liquid Sanity!

yep.  :) 

I used a stamp set by JustRite and water colored it using my Zig Markers. I layered everything using Crafty Foam tape and DODZ™. (My absolute favorite "go to" products!)

The twine is from The Stamp Simply store. (My other favorite place to get ribbon and twine!)

For more details on the card, please head on over to the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog.......This gal's got packing to do! 

LOL!
