True Colors and a Farewell

Today I am sharing my final post as a member of the Crafter's Companion Design Team. It has been such a wonderful experience working on this team! Taylor and Kendra are fabulous and I honestly learned a TON and grew quite a bit being a part of this team. Heck, I can actually color now! LOL! I am so grateful to have had this opportunity! I pulled out a gorgeous image for summertime from the Art-Kure collection. I love this windmill so much! I did some inking and then paired the image with a sentiment from Sheena's True Colors stamp set. I thought they worked together brilliantly!

True Colors

I did some masking and inking with Distress inks to create the background. I love how the colors are so warm! I stamped the image and the sentiment simply over the inked background. I can tell you that a stamp positioner like the Stamp-a-ma-jig is a SUPER HANDY tool for this kind of stamping. I then matted the inked panel on some of the GORGEOUS shimmering red cardstock from Crafter's Companion. I love the rich color tone of this card stock! And it's nice and heavy weight, too, and that always makes me happy!

And with that, I wish you a wonderful Monday!

Have a Happy!

Just Imagine The Possibilities

Have you ever looked at a picture and been instantly transported to a new place full of adventure and discover through that picture? It's kind of like a book with no words. An intriguing picture can take you ANYWHERE! That is sort of the feeling I got when I saw this great image from Crafter's Companion. I love it! It is like an instant journey to a magical place!

Imagine the Possibilities


I used the gorgeous Art-Kure Elvet Bridge, Durham stamp with a great sentiment from True Colors. I love how well the sentiment worked with this image! I added just a touch of color with Spectrum Noir colored pencils and then a bit of burlap string from May Arts. Love the simplicity on this one. It makes me happy.
