Happy Sunday my crafty friends….. It’s been raining here in So. Cal all evening. I spent sometime in the haven working on a few cards. I need my crafty mojo back. Im playing over on the CASology blog this evening for the life of me I was drawing a blank on what to create………I’m missing my crafty mojo…. here’s what I came up with… I pulled out the MFT Abstract Heart die my first thought was to do a little ink smooshing. All my pieces stayed in the die so there went the ink smooshing idea. My next thought maybe I’ll do a little ink blending in order for this to work I had to pull out the old Press & Seal…… awesomeness it worked like a charm… So here’s my take on the sketch! Hope you like.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb)
Stamp: SSS You
Ink: Festive Berries, Barn Door, Candied Apple Distress Inks, Versafine Onyx Black Ink

Whew…….TGIF my crafty friends! It’s been a whirlwind this week. I started my new job on Monday very exciting lots to learn and I’m basically on email all day long! My new job everything is digital….I’ve entered the world of technology! Overall my week was great I’m going to love the new opportunity looking forward to all I’m going to learn. I even had some time to play this week trying to get my crafty groove back. I’m playing again this week over on the CASology blog and the Cue word this week is Forest.. I was a little stumped on this one trying to decide what scene I wanted to create. I made two cards but I chose this one… I purchased the Ellen Hutson Tree Farm stamp set several months ago and like everything else in my haven didn’t get around to using it so what better stamp set…..yes you got it Tree Farm… In my mind I saw a family that owns a tree farm living in their camper and selling those beautiful Christmas trees to us….. I wanted the camper to have a distress look so I took my colorless blender solution and used he texture from a washcloth to give it a weathered, distressed look….I gave it a snowy look as well you know how it is at those tree farms in the winter. Ok! enough of my blabbing here’s my take on the cue word……Hope You Enjoy!
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Neenah Solar White 80lb.
Stamp: Ellen Hutson Tree Farm
Ink: MFT Black Licorice, Various Copic Markers
Accessories: Signo Uniball White Pigment Pen, Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen, Nuvo Crystal Drops Ruby Slippers
