Loving the Vases!

These vases are a fun stamp for you to color.  There are many coloring techniques...watercolor, blender pens, aqua painter, blendabilities.  The key is to use a good ink pad that won't bleed!  I recommend the Memento Ink Pad.  It is a black ink pad that really is good.

The back layer of this card also using an embossing folder for texture.  Love adding texture to my projects.

Here is a photo from my backyard.  Last week we had this spectacular view.  I could see the WHOLE RAINBOW just standing in my backyard.  It was even a DOUBLE rainbow for part of it.  But...could not capture it in a single photo.  I will have to lock it into my memory and think about it all the time.  

 Have a great day!  Lori :)

Blendabilities - what are they???

The alcohol-based markers are here and they are fun to work with!!

These markers are something new to us.  They are not replacing the other markers we have.  Those other markers are WATER-based.  These are ALCOHOL based...so they do different things!

It is best to use an OUTLINE stamp so you can COLOR.  Think back to coloring days in your youth!!

They come in a three pack...as you want to use three different hues of one color as you work.  You get to color right on top of one another to create beautiful pieces!

These are the colors that are available now.  They are adding more soon!

You definitely need to stamp with the right BLACK INK PAD...so that one is the Memento Ink Pad.  It is an excellent black ink pad.  I am thinking that I will stop using the other basic black ink pad that I have!!  The COLOR LIFTER is your BEST FRIEND!  It really does LIFT the color...removes it!  Pretty Cool!!

Brayer Technique Rocks

Just Like Cracker Jack!!

Do you love surprises?  I do :)  I received this fun card in an order from the company.  How fun is that???  Besides all my goodies in the box, there is a handmade card.  What a great idea.  I think other companies should start doing that!!

The back layer has a texture on it and then there are lots of fun little things layered on top of it.  Think of all the scraps of ribbon you having in your supply....gets you thinking doesn't it!!??

I realize that I have not been blogging regularly...so time to get back at it.  I have been enjoying some summer too!  We have lots of fires in our backyard.  Tonight was campfire cooking night.  We like to take steak, ham and summer sausage....cut it up in big cubes and cook it over the fire.  Another favorite is the sandwich cookers...use two slices of bread and there are lots of things you can put in between.  We use 

• cheese (awesome grilled cheese)
• peanut butter
• peanut butter and a piece of chocolate!
• apple pie filling
• pepperoni, mozz cheese and pixxa sauce
• marshmallows and chocolate

Of course we always can fall back on s'mores!

 Have a great day!  Lori :)
