Crocodile Redo

The sunny Daffodil Delight card I posted yesterday was suppose to be included in the Colour Me! Challenge - but I didn't read properly and neglected to see the part saying to use Old Olive. So - I just redid yesterday's card using the little crocodile from the Zoo Babies set.  I'm almost inclined to make a whole set using all the images….and different monochromatic colour combos of course.

We've got a PD day today - gotta learn something new to take back to the kids.

Have a good one!

Dip Dyeing Mashup

When I started creating a card for the Friday Mashup yesterday, this is the one I had in mind - with the Dip Dyeing technique.  However, it takes a while if you wait for the ink to dry between dippings, so I waited until today to post this one.

I used watercolour paper for dipping, as suggested by Stampin'Up!  I'm not sure if I used too much water or not enough reinker, but I think I need to try this again.  Or, perhaps I need to use a different colour that isn't so pale to begin with.  For this creation I used Pink Pirouette, Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral.

Just a quick post today - Allison and I are going to the Harry Potter Exhibit this afternoon when I get home from church.  Should be fun!

Hope you have something fun planned for today.

Thanks for dropping by.

My Undefined Flower

This afternoon I got the chance to ink up my very own stamp….the one I carved using the Undefined kit at Leadership.  I have carved one other stamp, but haven't used it yet - shame on me!

I took the colours from this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge - Costal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Wisteria Wonder.  I really quite like the combination.  I used markers to colour in the sections of my image…..

Speaking of….

When you sign up for Paper Pumpkin between January 11 and February 10, 2014 you will get a FREE package of 2012-14 In Colour Markers ($19.95 value)

Gold Foil Butterfly

I pulled out the new gold washi tape and the Gold Foil paper for the Stampin' Royalty challenge today. I was looking for a sketch and they had one that's easy to use the washi tape with to create the diagonals.

I'm glad that the gold and silver foil paper got carried over to the new Occasions catalogue - because I absolutely love how they emboss!

Here is the sketch...

We took Elliot for the day, so we picked him up just after he woke up so he could have breakfast with us. 

A perfect way to start the day and the New Year.

Thanks for stopping by,

Sending Good Thoughts...

I got my order of new products yesterday - I'm loving a number of new things in the upcoming Occasions Catalogue - and the Sale-a-bration products are fun too!

While playing with new stuff I even got a challenge done!  First one in weeks!  I worked on Dynamic Duo's Black Tie Week.  I had these crinkled up flowers on my desk for literally months - so I jumped at the chance of putting them onto a card.

I've used the Perfect Pennants stamp set with the new Banners Framelits Die.  Oh I'm glad they've added these framelits to the mix!

Well, I hope that you have a blessed Christmas Eve.  I'm looking forward to singing in a church choir again this year for Christmas Eve!  It's been a while.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
