Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Ambition


To illustrate this one, after protecting the page with clear gesso, I used a stamp from a set called "Sew Pretty" that came with a Cardmaking and Papercrafting magazine.  I used StazOn ink, but had some problem with the stamping and needed to go over many of the lines using a Pitt pen.  I waited to do that, however, until after I colored the "thread" with a bit of marker & water brush.  I used my Scroll and Brush markers to do all the coloring & lettering.  I actually created the lettering on my computer, then used a thin light pad (like a light box) to trace the letters with the markers.  I used just one edge of the "scroll" side of the marker to draw the finer lines of the lettering.  The black lettering was all done with Pitt pens.
