Monochromatic

Happy Monday. Back to the work week. Hope everyone had a productive weekend. It was another chilly one here in Muskoka. Good to stay in on those cold ones.

I enjoyed coloring with the white pencil on black cardstock. I tried the same technique on kraft paper. Using a brown pencil to color my flowers. I think I might even like this one better than the black and white one.

After stamping a random background pattern I colored it with a brown prisma pencil. When it was finished I used a rectangle die to cut a frame out about a 1/4 inch from the edge. I mounted the frame on dimension tape and the rest of the card flat on a white card base. Looking at it now, I think it needs a few sequins added to it.

BRRR -30 Is Cold

Evening everyone. Hope this finds everyone warm. We are in a deep freeze. It started on the weekend. -20 was the high during the day. The wind made it even colder. This morning the school buses were cancelled because of the cold. It was -28 when I left for work. 

So with all this cold I've been thinking about spring, and coloring flowers. With the start of a new year comes new things. I have a drawer full of new stamps, embossing folders, dies. I will be using it all, starting with this new stamp set and dies.

For this one I stamped the background with white ink on a black background. I then colored with a white prisma pencil. Trimmed a bit off the edges, and mounted it on a white cardbase. I added a small sentiment and mounted it with foam tape.

keep warm

Pretty In Purple

Afternoon everyone. Home for a quick lunch. I actually feel that I am accomplishilng something at work today. The first time all week. Great way to wrap up the week.

Last night I was playing with a new stamp. Stamping it out to cover the background. Now I can color them.  One I did for to use the matching dies to cut out. I will share when finished.

Today I want to share the second card from last weekend. This one I colored the flowers purple. I think this one is my favorite. I love the purple with the dark grey background.

One Stamp Fully Colored

Afternoon everyone. Home from work for lunch. It's so nice to live close enough to go home on my lunch hour. Just gives you a much needed break away.

Over the weekend I pulled out an old stamp and had some fun with it. When I originally stamped it I was thinking a one layer card. So I stamped it right onto the card base. Well I didn't eyeball it and didn't get it quite in the centre. I colored the image and then decided to color with a dark grey all around the image. When this was done I decided to cut it out, layer a color cardstock to match the flowers, then mount it onto a card base.

On this one I layed a piece of orange burlap to match the flowers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019

Evening everyone. Hope you all had a Happy New Year. My day was spent relaxing in my jammies, working on my bullet journal. I'm so enjoying creating my own calender. All the trackers to try to keep me in line.

Here is my cute little cupid for February's calender.
