1 of a Kind

Beautiful, beautiful image here, don't you think? It's one from I Brake for Stamps. I coloured in the body of the peacock with Copic pens. The fine feathers were done using the PearlEx gets floored technique, an oldie from TJ Newsletter, June '03 issue. Wish y'all could see the shimmery effect of this card. The duo-tone PearlEx works really great for the feathers. '1 of a Kind' is from Hero Arts. Well, hope you like!

Thanks for cheking in today! Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Love Me, Love Me Not.

This will pass for a non-traditional Valentine's Day card? This card features the PearlEx Gets Floored technique from the June '03 issue, TJ Newsletter. I had to use a VersaMarker to ink parts of the flower stamp, from Stampin' Up!, to create the 'pulled-away' petals look. Then embossed the images with detailed black EP. I painted the images with PearlEx powder using a water brush that was filled with floor wax instead of water. Sentiments were hand written with fine black marker. Hope you like!

Thanks for visiting!

Coneflowers

This card features one of the many versions of the Spotlighting Technique. It's very easy and a simple one to make.

I stamped the beautiful coneflower image from Serendipity Stamps, almost a local stamp company in Smithville, Missouri, using StazOn Jet Black ink on white cardstock. Then, on a piece of Mah Jong tile, I stamped part of the coneflower image again, also with StazOn ink (or you can try heat embossing the image). I then coloured in the open area with PearlEx and Future Floor Finish aka - PearlEx Gets Floored technique from the June '03 TJ Newsletter. After I finished colouring in the image, I lined up and adhered the game piece to the main image. And that's pretty much it. I stippled the edges of the white cardstock with lilac coloured ink.

The colour on the petals looks too blue on the photo. It actually has the lilac tint to it in real life, honest! :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great one!
