Fussy cutting

Hello,
Welcome back. I HATE fussy cutting. Seriously. I just don't do it. Some people say they find it relaxing, and therapeutic. No....not me.

But, I wanted to give this look a try. It seemed easy enough and yes, I had to fussy cut a bit. Take a look:

I actually gobbed up the center card so I sprinkled it with pink ink to cover it up. It looks totally intentional now! This set from from Altenew as well! I am getting handy with the masking magic!
I colored these with colored pencil and gamsol. I hadn't used those in a while. Coloring in small sessions is a bit relaxing for me. LOL
Thanks for stopping by.

Featured Technique: Mini-cards & digital stamps

Hello everyone,
I am excited for today's post. I have been longing for a set of colored pencils. Many of the blogs I have been following have been posting beautiful flowers using these sharp, eye-catching colors that pop! Well, Michael's had a 40% off sale on all their Derwent Inktense Pencils.
THEN (hang on) there was an additional 40% bonus coupon in their flyer this week. So, a set of 12 pencils was only $12.98. Can you believe it? I drove home as fast as I could and created these adorable mini-cards and played with my pencils. I pulled out my container of gamsol and learned how to blend with my new pencils. I used a digital image that I purchased from here. They have a few more digital stamps that are similar to this one. I just might buy those next....Take a look:

I will add more pictures when my phone decides to cooperate with me. I love the crispness of the pictures it takes, I just can't get them off the phone!
