Hi Stamping Friends! Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho here today with a couple of coffee cards to share with you. I used the stamp set Coffee Understands and the Coffee word die.  I colored the girl with Copic markers and placed her on a hand cut tag.  I embossed the sentiment in white and then lightly sponged over it with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Ink. Coffee Understands Coffee Word Die This card has the sentiments in the stamp set embossed in white for the background.   Both cards backgrounds are stenciled with Distress Oxide ink in Speckled Egg with the Flowers Stencil and the Life...

  Hello! Today I’m up at Picket Fence Studios Blog sharing these shaker cards using my the new Sequins Mix. This is a great idea to create simple but beautiful cards using your leftover die cuts from previous projects and put them to good use.

Hello, everyone!  I hope you have had a great week!  I am excited to share with you a couple of stencils and a sweet pup today.   First up is the gorgeous Fireburst Stencil.  I have a limited supply of watercolor powders and in truth, I am tired of the colors I have.  So I decided to try an experiment and see if I could get a different look.  First I sponged distress ink through the stencil with a Life-Changing Blender Brush (on sale now!) also sold as a Bundled set with bonus stencil).  Then I spritzed the cardstock, (stencil still...

 Hi guys!  It's Erica back on the PFS blog today. Sadly my May Release stamps are still on vacation ie somewhere in the postal system. So I thought, I'd stop in with a card I made with an older, but fabulous, new-to-me stamp: Watercolor Trees and Bushes.  I haven't used this one yet, and now I can't see why not??? It's so lovely, and you can do so many techniques with it too. I decided to indulge my current obsession, which is doing Copic coloured backgrounds.  With the chisel end of the Copic, I drew fat lines of all these...
