Be your own kind of Beautiful

Hello Friends,

With elegant paper designs and natural elements, this month’s featured paper collection, Serenity, promises to add depth and beauty to all of your crafting projects! I am sharing with you all over the next week or so, all of my serenity creations for your inspiration!

Beautifully paired together are the colors Linen, French Vanilla, Toffee, Sapphire, and Blue Belle! Sapphire is my favorite CTMH color, so this line is one of my absolute favorites! I love the December stamp of the month, which is where my sentiment came from!

Shimmer Brush + Distress Oxide Inks

Hello Friends,

Flash back - I found this in my drafts folder and well I need to show you!

Check out this super cute technique I did on some Christmas cards!

Resist shimmer brush and Distress Oxide inks! Let's talk about what happens when you mix the clear shimmer brush with distress oxide inks!

Grab a stamp that can be colored but not to detailed. Ink up the stamp in versa mark ink, and heat emboss it with your favorite ranger powders. I used silver extra fine today.

Now you're ready to blend your favorite distress oxide ink over your image as desired.

For this image I used mowed lawn over the hat, picked Raspberry for one of the presents and candied apple for the other. Now use the clear (close to my heart) shimmer brush, to create a Resist technique and pull color away! I absolutely love how this leaves such a soft look.

Fussy cut your image and put it on a card or layout!
