Beautiful Card ~ Coloring Challenge

Memento tuxedo black ink was used to ink tulip stamp onto solar white neenah card stock and then Copic Markers were used to color image. I used a Gelli painted piece for the background.
This is my day 19 of 30 day on The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge. The script was made with my Silhouette digital die cutting tool.

Beautiful Lady ~ Coloring Challenge

This is my card for day 18 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge!

My Grandmother wore a hat similar to this when she married in 1913. I wish she was still alive so I could give her this card. My grandmother was beautiful in every way. 

Yeah, I finished a card today instead of showing a stamped and color image. Copic markers were used to color image. I had previously made this Gelli prints background for card front. The word beautiful in a TH thinlits die. 

Cottage ~ Coloring Challenge

Today I'll share another  image from an etched stamp I purchased 20 years ago.
The image was inked with Memento tuxedo black onto Neenah 110 lb solar white card stock.
I used a simple watercoloring with Copic markers to color the image.
This piece will be added to a card or journal page.
I'm including this as my day 17 for the 30 day color challenge by Kathy on The Daily Marker.

Flower Card ~ Coloring Challenge

I have always loved coloring this stamped image by Magenta. Copic markers were used to color image. A sentiment was stamped inside the card.
I made this card for day 16 coloring challenge on The Daily Marker.

Valentine's Day ~ Coloring Challenge

Happy Valentine's Day!

I painted this cute little stamped image with Lyra watercolors this evening for day 14 coloring challenge. 

This year, I'm not going to put this type of stamps away. I need to make a journal book with my zutter tool. 

Select Flowers ~ 30 Day Coloring Challenge

This is day 13 of 30 day coloring challenge. This is another etched stamps I purchased 20 years ago. The stamp was inked with memento tuxedo black on 110 lb solar white Neenah card stock and then markers were used to color image.

Kathy from The Daily Marker says, the challenge is for you to color (any medium of you're choosing) and be open to experimenting but most of all to have fun without any expectation or pressure.

The Blue Door ~ Day 12 Coloring Challenge

  This is my piece for day 12 of the 30 Day Color Challenge by Kathy Racoosin.  

This stamp is called The Blue Door. This is one of my favorite etched stamps purchased 20 years ago.

Coloring Challenge ~ Birdhouses

Today, I made this piece for Kathy's 30 day Coloring Challenge. Three additional copic markers were used on this card; yg 03, yg 06 and yg 11 that was not included in the photo. My rubber stamped image was inked with black memento on 110 lb neenah solar white card stock. Later I'll make this piece into a card.

Coloring Challenge; You Make Life Sweet

I'm late getting started with Kathy's Coloring Challenge. This is the first piece to complete. I used two rubber stamps,  copic markers, watercolors, distress ink on edges and wink of stella on the wings.

Homemade Pen Holders

Something you might know about me, I was a seamstress long before stamping and when I saw Kathy share a post on cuffed fabric bins she liked, I knew how they could be made. In fact I didn't look on their website until today after mine where made.
I made mine with linen fabric and to keep the bags from collapsing I inserted an empty cardboard tissue roll. When dear hubby worked he would bring these empty rolls home to me.  These rolls measure 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" I've also made pencil holders from other cardboard cylinders.
I was inspired to make my pen holders from Kathy's blog post: http://www.thedailymarker.com/2016/01/getting-organized-giveaway 

12 Tags of 2016 ~ February

This year Tim shares a "Technique Remix" for each of his 12 Tags of 2016. This month is a technique remix of monoprint and textured paste.
This tag was made over the last 6 days and I do believe it is finished now.
I used three original size TH stencils, TH molding paste, TH distress markers, TH movers and shapers heart die,  TH Distress inks,  TH Photobooth and Chit-chat ideology, TH manila tag, TH heat gun and other stamping supplies from my stash.
I had the photo Tim used but loved the little girl from pack for my tag.
