There are a million-and-one things you can pair with SRM's sticker sentiments so I pulled out some of my new supplies (stamps/embossing powder/distress crayons/clean color real brush markers) and make a pretty background.
I spent time blending inside the image, as well as outside. It made the flowers POP!
This is another fun project made with new MFT goodies.
I LOVE Hallowe'en, but I'm one of THOSE people who don't send out cards, so I love the sentiments in this set. They are Hallowe'en-ISH, but could be given anytime to a person with a sense of humour!
Details: The background was sprayed with Dylusions, THEN, when the ink dried I put the new Stencil: Chevron Grid on top and "ghosted" the pattern. (Ghosting is when you take ink away by adding water or wiping with a baby wipe... It's simple, but cool!)
It's been two weeks of school and I think I'm finally finding my groove. I'm pretty much admitting to myself that I don't have time/energy to craft during the week, so the weekend is when I get down to business..
Which is hard, because I'm a night person... But anyway...
Today's card is for the current MFT sketch using some brand-new goodies!
I got this super cute Monster Love set last week (I also sprang for the dies!) and I've been itching to use it. They're just so cute!
I used the misti to help place the eyes/antennae and MAN, did that help!
I am also going to throw my hat in the ring for the Card Design Contest with some other amazing artists... What the hell!!
Back to school means back to work for me and my husband and yes, I feel all of the same jitters that the kids do! I love getting back into a routine and meeting my new students... It's all very exciting.
This year I have a goal: USE MY PLANNER!
I've had a planner for the past two years and I always have great intentions, but I never follow through. I am hoping that by making my planner more teacher-friendly I will use it on a daily basis...
To start the year off I added a bunch of inspirational words from the Say It With Stickers: Teacher sheet.
To hold my place in the planner I created a really easy bookmark: sticker, patterned paper, cardstock and some twine...
I made the twine stick out a bit so when the planner's closed I can quickly find my spot:
The background on this card turned out so pretty! I used pigment inks (Memento) and the Ranger blending tool to get the colours super soft. I'm so glad to be back home with my stuff and that includes my die cuts, inks, and of course my Copic Markers. This stamp is such a fun one to colour!!
I took inspiration from the paper collection I got the stickers from and had a lot of fun getting back into the swing of things colouring-wise.
