I am still playing along with the SCS Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. This is for SusieAustralia's challenge.

I had fun using an acetate overlay that I purchased a long long time ago from Prickley Pear. I made a background using AI Splash- where you drip Alcohol Inks onto glossy cardstock, and then you use an airbrush to spread the ink alone. The sentiment is by Create with TLC.  The cardstock is SU Certainly Celery.

Love is in the Air- Bloggers Challenge

I wanted to join in a challenge at Bloggers Challenge today- Love is in the Air- plus use a spooled item.

  The new Technique Junkies Newsletter is out- and I made a card using a technique called 'Glimmering Die Masks'. It is always fun to find new ways to use supplies you already own : )  The bird image is by Prickley Pear , and the sentiment is a retired PSX stamp.  The greenery is a Cheery Lynn Die, the hearts border is a MS punch. .

Hang in There!

 Although I am not a cat lover- (I just sneezed....)  I was able to make a card for someone who is.....

 I made this at a store I visited for the first time, and Mary from Prickley Pear stamps was there teaching a fun class. I added the sentiment.  This CAS card uses Copics for coloring and I added Sakura gelly pen for sparkle on the hearts.

  I really liked this card we made next- I added the sentiment when I got home. The balloon in paper pieced and colored with Copics- I also added Sakura Gelly roll pen to this card. We colored the ribbon with Copic markers to shade it closer to the color of the card.

  Don't forget my Blog candy- which will end at 5PM on Wednesday 2/1.

Thanks for stopping by!

Design Diva's Oldie but Goodies Blog Hop

Oldies but goodies refers to any stamps we have not used in 6 months...... I find this a great inspiration to get out stamps that I have not used.....

                                                                           and

 I have never used this stamp- I saw it and I had to have it...... It is by Prickley Pear Stamps.  I used the brayer and added color...they are pretty simple- I made them on glossy card stock.  I am making simple cards to send to a chemo center, so refrained from really glitzing up the card- but the image is so lovely, I think they look OK!
