Prismacolor Pencils on Black Card Stock

I watched a Gina K video of this technique and did it along with her.  It was fun!  I've not made a card during a video and it seemed like I was stamping with her LOL!  Anyway I used gold embossing powder and then colored with the pencils.  Since they are wax and not water based it is interesting, more vibrant and on black easier to blend.

Hidden Letter Card

I am not sure what the technique is called but it looks like hidden letters to me so that is what I am calling it.  The letters are on pop dots.  The stamp is by Penny Black, called effulgent.  The dies are by My Favorite Things.

More of Penny Black's Mimi's Love stamp set cards!  Just having fun, trying to get better coloring.  The top one is watercolors and the bottom one is Prismacolor pencils.  In both cards I used wink of Stella on the tiny hearts.  The designer paper is by doodlebug.

Loss of Pet Sympathy Card

My cousin lost both of their beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels within a few weeks of each other.  One was ill for a while but the other was a surprise.  So hard to lose our fur-babies!  They love their dogs as much as I love mine so I wanted to send a really nice handmade sympathy card.  I worked really hard on this, I happened to have some pet themed card stock from Basic Grey that I have been hoarding (working on last year's new year resolution to use my stash!) and it worked very nicely with this. I wanted to color the stamp as a Blenheim and I think I came pretty close!  They had one Ruby and one Blenheim.  Beautiful dogs.  The stamp is from Stampavie, Laurence Collection.

This is a trifold card:

Valentine's Day Card


This card is for My Favorite Things sketch challenge. I used linked chain circle frame dies from MFT, letters from Kaiserkraft and paper from Stampin Up. I used the center of the frame dies on pop dots offset to create a really nice look for these dies! I really like how that turned out.
