This stamp set is way cool. It's called Dad's Day, but I can think of so many reasons to use it. Today I'm sticking with the Father's Day theme that the set was created for. I was excited to stamp it on kraft card stock and add some copic coloring. It had been awhile since I colored on the kraft and I am always amazed at how cool it looks.  I used the Intense Black ink to stamp the sentiment along the side of the burger and finished off with a strip of yellow paper.    While I had the...

Hi there!  Today we are getting glazy with Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze!  There are 13 beautiful colors to choose from, plus you can mix them to create your own colors!  I mixed Agapantha Purple with Ocean Poppy and spread it over the Fleur Di Lis Stencil.  I think it would look fabulous with the Peacock Mandala Stencil too!  I am always hunting for thank you cards so I used Small Ways to Say Thank You.  Have you had the chance to check out all the sentiments included in this set?  It's an amazing set with a thank you for every occasion!  ...

Then I coloured in some of the images with the Copics in the photo above.  I also coloured in the...

 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...

Happy Friday Stampers!  Becky Roberts here from Inking Idaho with some brand new stamps to share with you from the May Release! This beautiful wedding cake is from the To The Lovely Couple stamp set. It makes a gorgeous wedding card as well as Save the Date or Mr. and Mrs.  There are several sentiments in the stamp set that work great with the cake. I used the A Rose stamp as a background and colored the cake with Copic Markers. To The Lovely Couple  The new A Rose stamp set is a super pretty one!  It is great for coloring but...
