Smooshing Wooshing

There are a lot of techniques to make cards out there and I think I learn at least one new one a week! After I’ve learnt all of them, if thats even possible, I’m eager to see which style I settle in. For the moment I feel like I’m all over the place, as I’m always up for a challenge to try new methods. My friend Archana from HandmadeCardsbyArchana says my style is embossing…its true I heat emboss…

Ink Smooshing with Newton's Nook

Hello Crafters!

I recently purchased the Newton’s Nook Holiday Smooches set and I could not wait to ink it up!

These images are so terribly adorable. Swoon.

I really wanted them to have a soft background so I decided to mix in some watercolors for my background. The ink smooshing technique is heaps of fun and the result is different everytime!!

I made a video but the gremlins got me again. There is a small portion of footage they carried off never to be seen again :/

Happy Haunting

Hello Crafters!

While I have had a fine time denying that summer is over yesterday was the first day of Autumn and I found myself looking for Halloween costumes for my son. Yikes. Where did the year go?

My only solace is that the holidays are coming and I can still use bright colors for Halloween

With that in mind I started my card for this post.

I used two sets from Neat and Tangled, Halloween Scene and Graveyard Shift. Did you know we recently started carrying the Neat and Tangled line? Absolutely, love them

I did some ink smooshing in the background before coloring my scene up with my Copic markers. You can see it all in the video below.
