Secret Garden & Bluebirds

I had a play date last weekend and since I was pretty tired I opted to color a bunch of images since I can do that with very little brain power. I did not have a particular plan in mind while I was coloring however I opted to got outside of my usual comfort zone and color with Prismacolor pencil crayons (in my comfort zone) and odorless mineral spirits (outside my comfort zone). I also, used colors I normally pass over especially for nature images.
I brought my colored image to work with me on Tuesday intending to throw it in the recycling bin but then a stack of Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper caught my eye. It all matched my colored image!! Add some Graphic 45 flowers and... after that, the card came together pretty quickly!
I am very happy with how the card turned out now gotta find someone who is worthy of this card! ;)
Thank you to everyone who stops by and a special thanks for the comments I appreciate everyone!

New Teresa Collins Far and Away Collection

Got some new papers and embellishments in this afternoon. It has been quite a while since we have had any Teresa Collins products in but the Far and Away collection caught my eye! Perfect for travel scrapbook pages (I want to get my England trip done with this line) or less "girly" cards or other projects.

Here are some of the new designs:

Chevron 12x12 paper

 

12x12 Pennants paper

Far and Away Stickers

 

Postcard paper

Hope to see everyone soon!

Live in Style

Whew it's been a busy few weeks! For those of you not on Facebook, we did get a batch of Inkagold metallic pastes on Saturday. They have been selling very quickly however we do still have 2 colors left in stock - graphite and emerald green. Both great colors.
Here is a card I got made up over the past couple of days in between class preparations. I got to play with a bit of one of our new pattern papers made by Teresa Collins from the line Far and Away.
All stamps are by Hero Arts (sets used Paris France, Big Post Card & Past Times). All images stamped with Distress inks (Gathered Twig, Broken China, Peeled Paint and Weathered Wood).
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Graphic 45 French Country

Crafty Capers received the Graphic 45 paper line French Country today. I can't wait to play with this paper. I have quite a few ideas spinning in my head!

We also received Liquid Pearls, Glossy Accents, Distress ink pads as well as the VERY popular Artbin Spellbinder storage system plus magnetic refill pages.

I know these bins will sell out quickly!Hope to see everyone soon!

Don't forget today is the heat embossing demo between 10:30 am - 12:30 pm hope to see you soon.

Heat Embossing Demo Tomorrow

Well, the heat embossing demo is tomorrow so I am madly getting myself organized (or should I saying trying???) This card is another of my demo samples. Again, embossed with Ranger's Seafoam white embossing powder I am realizing now I seem to be obsessed with white embossing powder at the moment. I do use other colors honest I just happen to have picked all the white embossing samples to photograph!

I was going for a vintage feel for this card and it worked out well, I think, even if vintage is not normally my style. Stop by Crafty Capers tomorrow  (March 2) between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm if you would like to learn how to make this card. I have a bunch of other embossing powder techniques planned as well. Hope to see you tomorrow!
