The base card is Neenah Premium Cover Cardstock 110#,    The base layer is Cotton Candy from Bazzill Card Shoppe. The designer paper was from Little Darlings : Caladium paper pack.   The edges were sponged with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo by Ranger.   

I heavily distressed the  edges of all layers.    Scotch ATG  was used to apply the layers and Pop Dots for dimension for  the Focal Image and Sentiment.   

 Pearls were added for accent.

All in all...... This was a super fun image to color and use for my card!

Color-Ology Hug-able My Besties Bear Rosie Multi Media Canvas - Part 2



Storyline:Have yu ever wanted to get your hands a little messy and just “let go”?    I spend so much time in my head that I think it’s fun to just color or paint without having to  think and plan.   Let’s face it - most of our life is spent planning, organizing and being totally responsible.   Let’s just do some coloring and let our creativity flow!  LOL   

Technique: 
I will be using all types of multi media supplies that I have been looking at for a long time.   It’s time to get out those supplies and start playing!

Ink
Color-Ology Pigment Kit 1

Hug-Able Besties Bear Rosie Sherri Baldy's Color-Ology DT Tutorial





Hello, my friends!

Marie here and I want to share my first video for Sherri Baldy’s Color-Ology DT! 

Do you remember the story of the Velveteen Rabbit?   Remember how he was so loved that his fur was all fuzzy and worn and some of the stuffing was coming out?   Did you have a stuffed animal that you loved like that?    

That’s what I think of when I think of stuffed bears.   I love them!  Yes, even at my age! LOL  Today I want to show you how I created that kind of fur on this adorable teddy bear.    I combine 3 techniques to create a  tight, fuzzy, huggable  texture to fur.    

The stamp is Sherri Baldy’s  Hug-able My Besties Bear Rosie.   I used to E30 natural Blending Family for Copic Markers to color her fur.  E30, E31, E33, E44, E47

The fur was colored using 3 techniques
  • Dimensional Coloring
  • Stippled Technique
  • Texturized with a Colorless Blender



Hope you enjoyed the video!   
Come back soon and be healthy and craft a little everyday! 




For the Love of Tags!

mp042015a

Hello friends!  Marie here with my new project for you!
I love tags!   In my opinion, one can never have too many tags!
Today I will share a tag I created with paper from Paper Temptress and a featured image from
Sherri Baldy's new April release!

pt042915b
The digital image is
Big Eye Big Head Dolls image 577
I stamped the image on X-Press It Blending Card - I love this for my Copic coloring.
It is super smooth and really makes blending a breeze.
The tag base was cut from Grape Jelly Pop Tones.  
I darkened the cardstock to coordinate with my image using Memento Grape Jelly Dye  Ink.
This provided a rich dark color.   I created faux stitching with my Signo Opaque White Pen.
pt042915d
I created the flower using X-Press It Blending Cardstock.
The smooth texture makes it easy to sponge.
My die was Cherry Lynn Black Eyed Susan Strip.
It is amazing how different the flower looks depending on what color you select!
I used Tim Holtz  Dusty Concord Distress ink.
I heavily sponged the center and tips of each petal.
I molded the flower with my McGill molding tools and molding  pad.
A light coat of  Ranger Glossy Accents was applied to the flower after assembly.
The leaf was cut from my stash (love using up my leftovers!)
I sponged the leaves and stem using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
pt042015c
This is my finished tag.  I hope you enjoy tags as much as I do!
I love embellish presents and gift bags with colorful tags!
Have a great day and take some time to be crafty!
