I had to make a quick card for a co-worker. 

Whipped this up pretty fast. 

Perfect for a co-worker congrats on your promotion. 

Uses “paper shaping” that my BFF taught me. 

You use hot glue to “puff” the shells. I loved it. 

Turtley Awesome!!! 🐢

This stamp set is not new ... it's one of my definite go-tos!

I will have more on paper shaping in some of my next blog posts ... Stay Tuned!

I recently have been seeing a lot of black and white images 

with a focal image colored in color.

I thought I'd give it a try with this card.

I colored this poinsettia with my Peerless Watercolors.

It's been a while since I broke those out ... I miss them!!!

I also tested out a new water brush that I love SOOOO much ... its by Nuvo.

It controls the water flow soooo well.  Not to much, not too little ... just right!

I used the Christmas Sprig ATS from Fun Stampers Journey for this card.

It's a nice and inexpensive stamp if you are looking for a poinsettia.

The one thing that I was MOST excited about with the FSJ and Spellbinders merger 

was the GLIMMER MACHINE!!!!

What is a Glimmer Machine you ask???

Let Me Tell You:

This was foiling using Holographic Foil on cardstock.

This was foiling using Foil on cotton fabric.

This was foiling using Foil on ribbon.

I went LIVE just the other night on Facebook and showed how to use it.

Want to See???
