New Jumbo Wheel - Baby Tees

2010-07-10T23:11:00.004-05:00

I am so excited about the fabulous new Stampin' Up! catalog. There are tons of must have items in there!!

One of my new toys is the jumbo Baby Tees wheel. I made this card using one of the new In Colors - Blushing Bride as the card base and one of the new ink colors Crumb Cake. Also used on this card is the new 2 and 3/8 inch scallop punch. I love this!

Other items used include Pretty in Pink cardstock, scallop border punch, Crumb Cake cardstock, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Sahara Sand Stampin Write Markers, Stampin Dimensionals and a white gel pen.

Prismacolor & Odorless Mineral Spirits

2008-04-29T22:06:00.000-05:00

I had heard about Gamsol and Prismacolor pencils, but wasn't really sure of the specifics. I asked JoAnna at our last crop and she gave me the info! I researched it a little bit more and I *LOVE* this technique!!
Using the Odorless Mineral Spirits (I used the Mona Lisa brand paint thinner from Hobby Lobby) blends the Prismacolor pencils beautifully. It makes the colors blend and have a creamy look to them. Here are the first 2 images that I did. I apologize that the images are a little blurry. Let me know what you think!!

I got an award!!
