Challenge

I made this card for the challenge presented by Created By Hand Challenge http://createdbyhandchallenge.wordpress.com/ Freedom...Stars.

I used various alcohol inks and silver or gold metallic ink. The stars were made with glossy paper and the base of the card is regular card stock paper. The message stamped in Blue Stazon ink says, "Sometimes on the way to a dream, you get lost and found a better one."

Coloring Flowers using Tim Holtz Fillable Pens

I have been wanting to try this for a while. Someone (either child number 2 or child number 3) got into my ink that is best used on Glossy Paper (Stazon Black) so I had to wait to do this with my glossy paper. I stamped the image of the flower and then chose different colors to fill up my Tim Holtz pens to fill in the flower. I then took the pens and also colored around the outside of the image. I used a touch of Gold metallic refill ink and various Ranger Alcohol Inks with my inking tool to get the metallic and marbleized effects that I wanted. I used Stazon Blue ink and stamped a different flower stamp all around and then colored over using once again the gold metallic ink and various Ranger alcohol inks.

Tomorrow - a grunge birthday card.
