SAF 2014: Explore the Renaissance with Nichole Heady

Here we go!  SAF Renaissance Challenge.  My daughter is back in the game and was LOVING the velvet :)  This was a fun and relatively quick card...especially when working together with Emily!  You can't tell from the picture, but the die and card base are the sparkly PTI paper...divine!!  I also included a picture of Emily in action...yep, we are still scrapping in our jammies.  We'll probably take showers before starting the wax project.  We were just so excited to get going this morning!

PTI Make it Monday #147: Multi-layer Images from a Single Stamp AND COPICS!!

I have a lot to post today :)

First, I had fun with this week's PTI MIM Challenge, however it was really hard for me to find a stamp set that would work with the technique!  Emily - my 6 year old - tried to participate, but she quickly got frustrated with all the fussy cutting and gave up :) Maybe next week!

For this card, I also used the Envelope Punch Board to make a bigger envelope to accommodate the banners.

Also, I have been toying with the idea of getting Copic markers for a LONG time.  I just LOVE when I see Nichole Heady use them on her Papertrey Ink products.  Well, this year both my kids drew me in our respective family draws, and my husband wanted a very expensive Lego set, so we decided to completely blow the limit and treat ourselves.  I have had SO MUCH FUN playing around with the Copics!!  I already have a list started for my 2nd set of colors :)  Here are some of my first examples.

Happy Crafting!!
