I just re-read the Monday Challenge and I see I missed the "at the movies" and only read."showcasing Spellbinders dies".  I don't know how to remove my card so I apologize for the entry.

Stamp It

I am so used to using digital stamps that I had to ask a friend what kind of ink to use if I wanted to color an actual stamp (lol).  This is a card I made for an animal rescue organization to send to people who donate.

Trying a stencil brush

I've used this Kitchen Sink stamp set & layout before but I wanted to try some additional shading with a stencil brush.  It worked great except for a spot at the top left that got kind of gloppy for some reason.  It was my first application to the paper and I didn't tap it off on anything else first.  I think like sponging that is something you need to do.  I tried to hide the bad spot with a die greeting.  It isn't exactly centered but it did the job.

MSCB 2/17/16

This week on Mod Squad Challenge http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-great-outdoors.html we were asked to use "the Great Outdoors" in our card.
I used a Tiddly Ink Digital image colored with Spectrum Noir pens for my project.  Originally I had the Happy Birthday in blue letters but I didn't think they stood out enough.  I cut a second set in gold glitter paper and glued them offset to my blue ones.  TFL

looking for a pattern

Can anyone tell me where I can find a needle tatting pattern using a covered ring? I've seen several photos using this technique but have been unable to find any patterns.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

This week on Mod Squad Challenge Blog http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/ we were asked to make a card using the theme LOVE IS IN THE AIR.
For my card I used a Tiddly Ink image colored with Spectrum Noir pens. When I color an image I always start with the hair & face.  Those are the two areas I struggle the most with.  Last night I did a really pretty face but horrible hair so today I colored a second image.  I did the hair first and was pleased with the result and then the face.  I have a new Epson printer and the ink ran on her face.  Needless to say I was not happy but finished the image anyway. Heat drying probably helps but it also curls the paper.   Does anyone have a suggestion for removing printer ink that runs?
