A Toucan of My Thanks



Jamie from Avery Elle contacted me about sending me the February release.  I quickly made this card.  The entire release was so adorable.  It was amazing to get to see them before they were released.


I stamped the images onto some Copic X-Press It cardstock.  It makes coloring with Copics a breeze.  After I finished coloring them I went back and overstamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black ink and used clear embossing powder.

I used the banner from Banner Bits to add my sentiment.   It was a fun card to make.  I hope you enjoy the video.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hero Arts 2018 Catalog Blog Hop


Today I am so excited to be a part of the Hero Arts Blog Hop.  The new release is amazing.   For my card I decided to use the Newspaper Print Bold Print background.

I used several different colors of Distress Inks to stamp my image.  Then I went back and sprayed my stamp with water.  I let the lid of my MISTI slam so the water would slap onto the paper.



After I dried the paper, I ink blended with the same Distress Inks.  I used my Hero Arts Layering Swallowtail to stamp my focal image.  Because I used Versafine Onyx Black ink, I was able to add clear embossing powder and heat set it.



Finally, I embellished my card with some of the new release sequins.  This card was quick to make and a lot of fun.   Now for more fun stuff.....
