Artful INKables Tuesday

 Good Morning to You!
 I hope all is well today!  I had a great day yesterday! I spent 4hrs outside helping my son's girl with her way overgrown yard! I love hard physical work.... so good for the soul!

I've created another box to share today. It's an origami box. No glue, tape or adhesive of any kind for the box itself! Way fun. You can check out the tutorial here.

My focal image is from Artful INKables "Aquatic Fantasy" My box was constructed using "To the Nines" specialty paper.  I will be entering in these challenges:

Pile it on folds

Sew Many Challenges anything goes

ABC Challenge X-tra dimension

Well that's it for today! See you tomorrow!

There's Magic in the Air!

Good Morning!

It's Monday and that means it's time for Magical Monday with TMITA/PCC!

My stampin buddy, ole pal Olga sets the challenge for us this week! She wants

us to create a box or container using any acquired image from Paper Cupcakes.

My box was created using Deco Hearts. I cut my image apart and added

lots and lots of glitter.... ( that was for Olga) 

My mojo is missing... if anyone sees it would you send it back to Idaho?

I really do miss it.... I promise to treat it better when it comes home!

Pop over to TMITA/PCC and play along!

Coffee is on Olga!

First Tutorial Evvvvver!

Good Morning!
Today I bring you my very first tutorial ever! It's a pretty simple, but a girl has to start somewhere right! As a DT member for Artful INKables we are required to do a tutorial! AI stamps are the bomb and so much fun to work with!

Supplies you will need
Prisma color pencils
Odorless Mineral Spirits
Blending stumps (solid)
Black Memento ink
Stamps- I used Aquatic Fantasy

Stamp your image with memento.

 I then outline with color of choice.

 As a rule I outline my entire image.

I then blend starting with the lightest color using my Blending

stumps dipped in OMS. I work from the outside in blending in circles.

I then added a little glitter and finished my project!

 That's it for today! I hope to get to play with paper all weekend!

See you soon!

~Hugs~
