These images are so easy to color with copic markers and the accessory stamps in the set add so much to the background papers. The sponging was done with Distress ink pads available in the store.

Bluebird

I found these wonderful wall hooks at Michaels several months ago in the clearance section and knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I stamped the Bluebird images in Memento bamboo and Perfect Medium and brushed with Bronze Perfect Pearls and added some pearls and flourishes sprayed with Metallic Mist to the frame. I hope you like them. I love them!

Mini Masterpiece

I was playing around with some ATCs and used the Mini Masterpiece for my backgrounds and the identifying information on the back of the ATCs. This is such a versatile plate. I have been playing with it for days now.

My card today celebrates the vastness of space...stars in the sky, whatever would be their number? The Geek is Chic plate includes numerous images of Einstein, coupled with a playfulness that make masculine cards a breeze! Susan Conrad, Guest Designer
