Zentangle

This is my first (and possibly my last) attempt at Zentangle, yikes, this took a really long time BUT it was kind of fun!  I can see how it may become addicting or at least something to do while talking on the phone ;o).  Below is the stamped image before and after I colored with Copic markers and then did my doodling using a Copic multiliner.  You can read more about Zentangle here: https://www.zentangle.com/

Stamps: Leane Creatief (flower), amuse studio (sentiment)

Hodgepodge Valentine

This is one of my "hodgepodge" cards which is basically just leftover pieces from other projects that were left on my desk.  I kind of like how it turned out and it's good timing for a Valentine card post. <3 Happy Valentine's Day!

Quick Tip Tutorial:  I punched the hearts out of real red cardstock then I colored them with copic markers and added some white dots and dashes for highlights.

all supplies are SU! except for the stitched circle is MFT and the black glitter washi tape is from M's.  Oh and copics markers.

Sunflower Stalk

Sunflowers are my favorite flower and the new a muse studio sunflower stamp set and matching dies were at the top of my want list.  I used the 0.1mm Copic multiliner pen and hand drew straight lines for the stalk and colored everything with Copic markers. I die cut and colored two flowers but then cut individual petals out from just one of them and popped the petals (and the bottom leaves) up with 3-d foam which gives this card a lot of dimension.  The "hello" is from the new set Essential Sentiments Too which is a killer collection of sentiments for nearly every occasion, I can't tell you how many ties I've used this set already.  
Hope your days is filled with sunflowers! :o)

Beautiful Birthday 4

Okay, last Beautiful Birthday idea (for now) so here's another card using the new a muse studio Beautiful Birthday set.  I broke up the sentiment to put part on the outside and part on the inside which reads: "wonderful day".  This card is rather versatile and could be used for a birthday or thinking of you or get well or sympathy just by changing the sentiment.

Beautiful Birthday 2

As promised here is another "look" for the Beautiful Birthday set.  I did a lot of sponging on this card to make a kind of stormy sky with Eucalyptus ink. The greenery stamp was inked first entirely with Grass ink then I sponged on a little Mushroom and Nutmeg pouncing those two colors here and there.  Then I finished with a little Nutmeg ink sponged along the bottom.  Any one who knows me knows that sponging is one of my all-time favorite techniques.
