FTL270, Swanky Snowdudes

Hi friends. I hope you are doing well. We have another fun sketch for you!

You are going to have to excuse my pictures. They are iPhone pictures. My camera cord died, like wires showing and shocking me died. I made a little video for this card too.

Here is today's video (and awful pictures). There is a Spectrum Noir Marker mini tutorial in there to introduce you to these fabulous markers hence making the video about a half hour. I don't think that you will get bored, at least I hope not!

FTL267, Happy Holidays

Hi there crafty people. I hope that you had a great weekend.

I don't know how Natasha does it, but week after week, we always have a great sketch to work from!

Today I made a Christmas card. After looking at the top of my print, a sleigh image really would have tied the card together but I was itching to break out this stamp set and coordinating die. I have more of the patterned paper so I will probably make a card using a sleigh image, at least that's the plan. I will get my light box put together soon as my lighting just does not do this card justice at all. It's so vibrate in person.

I hope that you enjoy this card and have a great day!

 EXPERIMENT! The color choices and Christmas-themed paper or even any kind of patterned paper would work.


 My tree is stamped using Aqua Mist. Use some colors that are blue from the color wheel.


 Although not mentioned above, I did use the Rock 'n Roll technique when stamping my tree with Hawaiian Shores ink.
