Paint Chip Inspiration #27: Bloomin Heart Valentine

I couldn't resist doing a Valentine Paint Chip card.  The Stampin' Up! Bloomin Heart Thinlits made it easy.

Alter It Thursday - Birthday Bouquet Pencil Cup

Today's "Alter It" sample is a pencil cup I made with the cardboard cylinder from an empty roll of tape.  As soon as I saw the height of this roll I thought it would be great for a pencil cup.  I realized after I took this picture that my little pink hearts on the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper are upside down.  But I think this paper is so pretty that anything works.

Stampin' Up! Rose Garden Thinlits with Daubers

I love the Stampin' Up! Rose Garden Thinlits.  The more I use it, the more I am obsessed with it.  On these cards I used daubers to color in and around the rose with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink pads.

You actually get 2 cards from this technique.  You have the rose colored in and the beautiful reverse image.  I have more details and images below showing how I made these cards.

I used the thinlit to cut out the rose on white card stock  and then I colored in and around the rose with daubers.  I used my fingers to hold down the thinlit while I was coloring. The more abstract, the prettier the image. 

For this demonstration I switched up the colors and used Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink pads.
