Technique Tuesday and My Sweet Petunia Collaboration Blog Hop

Hey everyone.  I'm so super happy to be a part of the Technique Tuesday and My Sweet Petunia blog hop.  There are so many great participants along this hop and you are in for such a treat!!  

I used this gorgeous tiger lily flower from my Mother's Day arrangement for my inspiration today.  I pulled out my Technique Tuesday Lily Wishes stamp set as my image piece today.  I placed my Bristol paper into my original Misti making sure my card stock was tucked nicely in the corner of my Misti.  After a everything was lined up correctly I stamped my lily with black ink.  I left my image on my Misti lid at this point as I will need it again later.

I colored my image with Copic markers and added some highlights with a white pencil and white gelly roll pen. I after I finished coloring my image, I placed it back into my Misti and re-stamped the image again in black into to redefine my lines.  I love doing this to keep my lines nice and crisp after I have colored my entire image.  It truly makes your image pop once your coloring is complete.

I die cut out my image using the matching Lily Wishes coordinating crafting dies. I die cut out a stitched banner for my beautiful flower to had a place to sit and used a stencil to add some texture to the background.  I used the same stencil to add some texture to a piece of green card stock to ground the entire piece on a white card base.

For the sentiment I decided stamp it in versa mark ink and heat emboss it in white embossing powder so I stood out.  The lily and the sentiment are popped up on foam dots.  

Here's the list of participants.  Make sure to leave a comment on EACH blog for a chance to win.  We will choose two lucky commenters from the hop to win one of two prizes: a $50 shopping spree at www.mysweetpetunia.com and a $50 shopping spree at www.techniquetuesday.com.  All comments must be in by May 28th 11:59 PM CST.  The winners will be announced May 29th on the Technique Tuesday and My Sweet Petunia  blogs.

MISTI Tutorial and Stamping Fun

Hey peeps.  I'm back with a quick video.  As you may know by now I'm in the mist of a big move and slightly limited on my stamping time but I did manage to upload a video I've been meaning to get out to all of my peeps.  Here is the card I made using the amazing MISTI tool.

I really liked making this card.  It was super easy to make and I love the colors.  I hope you enjoy the little video I've attached to show you how this all came together.

See you guys soon.  Go forth and be crafty~

Giving Thanks To Our Military

Hey peeps.  I hope everyone is off to a great weekend.  I just wanted to pop in with a quick card and video.  I made some cards to give out this weekend to our military members and veterans to thank them for their service.  Couldn't let this one slip by this year. I'm using the awesome MISTI to mass produce my cards.  I think this is an amazing stamping tool and hands down one of the best I've seen.  So let's get started. Here's a few pics of my card and then my video.

Now for the video.

Have a safe weekend everyone and I'll see you back here soon.

Go forth and be crafty~
