For this project, I really went outside my comfort zone and had some fun with alcohol markers. I must admit, I like how this turned out. With that said, I’m not sure you can make these flowers look bad.

I've got another digital stamp, here. I tried my best to cut it with my Cameo, but it's been years since I've used it, and I was not getting the results I wanted. After a couple of hours of trying to get what I wanted, I decided to do some coloring with my copics. I always like to add my disclaimer - I'm not a colorist....

Hello, my fellow crafters! This post was created as an extension to Altenew’s Educator Instagram Hop. I had a lot of fun creating this panel, and the best part, it was easy to do. Mega Blossom Stencil Set I decided to add more dimension with some fun-foam, and I am impressed with the interest it adds. ☺️ Normally, I like to die-cut after my image is completed, but this would be quite the challenge to do with this project, so I put my pieces together first, then ink-blended my image....

Hello, and welcome! I am so excited to be a part of Altenew's April Release. This release is absolutely amazing! This first panel was a lot of fun. I threw almost everything Craft Your Life Project Kit: Rustic Charm set has onto this panel. And why not? They work perfectly with each other. 😁 I should note, this set has the birds facing both left and right, which is awesome!...

This project took me out of my comfort zone. I don't mind coloring, but I need to be able to choose the mediums I use and how. Unfortunately, I'm limited with a digital stamp due to the limited way I'm able to print it, but I got creative 😉 Both cards were created using Sheepski Designs digital image. Unfortunately, my printer is unable to print on watercolor paper so I had to print it on copy paper and use carbon sheets to trace it....

Class 2 completed...I didn't do the second card because I didn't do my homework...it feels strange to say I didn't do my homework at my age. Haha.

Also, I think my Koi looks drunk.

This is one of my favorite cards I've created. I've already given it away, but that doesn't mean I can't share it. I'm a huge fan of combining gold with certain shades, and right now it's blue. You may also notice most of this project is die cutting except the sentiment and the use of an embossing folder on the vase....
