Eye of the Beholder Card

This month's challenge theme is "Color Layering"  My layers include stamping the definition in permanent black ink.  Then I used embossing ink with clear embossing powder to create the splattered pattern in the background. I gently blended oxide inks to add color and make the embossing pop. I hope you enjoy my tutorial!

Soulful Dolls and Art Tags

Hi everyone,
We had our second Facebook Live video in our Fan Group.  This time we featured the new stamps from Cathy and Pam.  Cathy's Soulful Dolls Collection and Pam's Art Journaling and Mixed Media Set 1.  I created a couple projects using the new sets and showed a couple quick techniques too.

These tags were created using Pam's stamps.

There a tutorial on my blog detailing how I created these tags. 

This banner was made using Cathy's stamps.

I have a detailed blog post about how I created this banner too. 

There have been so many projects shared in our Facebook group.  I hope you join and are inspired to create your own pieces.  Don't forget to watch the video.
