I see so many cards with images that have a hint of blue or yellow around them. No matter what I try, nothing seems to work easy for me. I decided to try my Twinkling H2O and chose the color Blue Ice. I spritzed a lot of water to mute the color a little more then usual and left it alone for 30 seconds. Once it softened up a bit, I used a dry brush and painted along the image. It gave the image a bit of shiny halo around it. I used my cuttlebug to emboss with A2 paisley folder. The ribbon gave it an interesting twist in the ripped corner.
In case some of you do not know what a Twinkling H2O is....I describe it as a paste version of Shimmerz. To get the shimmery results, it requires an extra step and that is to soften it up, but I like the results. You can spritz water into it and paint with it directly onto your image or you can paint right on your rubber stamp and stamp your image.
SUPPLIES:
#Colored with Prismacolor Colored Pencils
*Cuttlebug A2 Folder Perfectly Paisley
*Cardstock
*Magnolia image "Tilda with Hearts"
*Twinkling H2Os Blue Ice
*Ribbon (unknown)
*Stamping Up Punch

It's Official!
I am now a blogger!! I have been wanting to make a blog for quite some time but just never sat down to make one until this morning.
Be patient with me as I learn how to use this new way of sharing my talent with you!
I will start off by showing you a card I made recently. The Magnolia image was RAK'd to me by someone who has a great talent in coloring and shading (thank you Danni for the image and the inspiration). I had never colored a Magnolia image and I am very pleased with the results! The idea was not mine and was card lifted from Heart Prints.
(You need to check out her website..OH MY...awesome cards!!!).
I left the tag she is holding blank to stamp something on it like Happy Birthday or Thinking Of You but I am having a hard time with the idea I might be popping her into an envelope to be mailed...
You ever have a card you just do not want to part with?
SUPPLIES:
*Tilda with Tag-Magnolia Rubberstamp
*SU paper
*Colored with prisma pencils
*Microsoft Word program to print the words in a circle
*Nesties with my cuttlebug
*Martha Stewart border punch
*Flower and ribbon
