Here Comes Santa Paws, Here Comes Santa Paws...

So today I come back with another card colored in with the Stampin' Blends... because you guessed it... I LOOOOVE them!

This is just a little image and I did not do a lot of blending. I simply colored Santa Paws in solid. And did some color lifting to get a textured look

I added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the hat using the Fine-Tip glue ...Oh and I colored in the nose with our Journaling pen since we don't have a black alcohol marker.

And here is the inside:

And of course since I've typed that title... the song was stuck in my head and figured you should all sing along too:

Color Me Happy

Today I was playing with my beloved Stampin' Blends and the kit called "Color Me Happy". How fitting of a name... coloring with the Blends does make me happy.

While I worked on one of the cards I thought I should share just how easy the blending is and did an impromptu live video on Facebook. I'll show you the card and then post the video below...

Here a close up to show you just how smooth the Blends blend ;-)

Here is the short video:

Custom Textured Background

Today's card was fun to make! I cut several flourishes out of the same color cardstock than the card itself and covered the whole front with it to make a custom textured background...

And of course I totally enjoyed coloring in the images using my Stampin' Blends. Once I had my card complete, it seemed as if it needed "something".... so I added pearls here and there and almost everywhere LOL. No... I did stop myself from over-doing... or so I think ;-)

Country Livin'

Weeeeellllll - I may or may not have heard something about getting some "blendies" back... so I had to play with my old blendabilities a bit the other day...

Here is my quick card:

I know that is not a lot of coloring in here, BUT still more than I would like to do with our regular markers!

And of course, as soon as I know a specific date etc... I will fill you all in! Promise!
