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.

Monochromatic Monday: Rose Garden Thinlits

Happy Monday!  Here is a card I made using the Rose Wonder Bundle from the Occasions Catalog.  The Rose Garden Thinlits are amazing... so delicate and beautiful.  The rose is so pretty that you can use one color to make this card and it's still gorgeous!
