Simply Scrapping Crafts Design Team!

 Hello! Remember me? LOL..I have been MIA for most of the last two weeks.  This is going to be a super week for several announcements all week long!  I have been asked to join the Simply Scrapping Crafts Design Team! Wow, that is a mouthful, how about SSC DT!! SSC is the place you want to be if you love learning, challenges, a whole page  of groups outside of SCC. I will be doing the copic challenges!

We will be getting the new digi today and I just can't wait to see it! And, on Wednesday I will have another announcement. Things are looking up!

My card business is starting to pick up pretty good considering it is only by word of mouth at this point! Good days lately!

Inside

Tip of the day:   Coloring lace, ribbon, flowers. You can use Colorless blender solution or 91-95% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, which is a LOT cheaper. Pour some alcohol into its lid or very small container. Lay down the copic color you want onto an acrylic block. You do this by pressing the tip of the pen onto the block with gentle pressure. Take a regular small paintbrush and dip it into the alcohol...the more alcohol on the brush the lighter the color. If you want a vibrant color, wipe the brush one time onto a paper towel. Next, take the brush and mix it with your color on the acrylic block and brush onto flower, lace etc. You will see that you use very tiny bit of marker. You can make it as dark or as light as you want by how much alcohol solution you have on the brush. Here is a white rose and white lace I did with R29 in a super hurry to show you!

I hope you enjoyed  looking as much as I have enjoyed creating!! Thank you! It's a good week!
