March SOTM Blog Hop - Sunshine Birdies!

Welcome to the March SOTM Blog Hop featuring our exclusive Sunshine Birdies stamp set!  If you have come here from Lisa's Blog you are on the right track.  You can find the complete listing of participating CTMH Consultant bloggers here.

This stamp set is such a cutie that I knew I was going to have to doing something fun with it!  I made a center stair step card with our Penelope Paper Pack and added lots of the images stamped in Memento ink and colored with our Shinhan Markers to create a fun scene.

I love having sentiments that you can partially color to make them pop - this stamp set has two! For some extra dazzle I added our Green Shimmer Trim and a couple of the Enamel and Glitter Hearts.

I cut out two of the clouds from one of the PML card paper that comes with this kit and attached them to the very back of the card - this shot shows the fun 3-D effect you can get with this style of card.

Isn't this the cutest little birdie set? If you are ready to add some adorable to your stamp collection for just $5 with purchase you can head on over to my shopping site at:

Embossed Alcohol Marker Colored Foil Scene Card

I had so much fun making the embossed alcohol marker colored foil background for yesterday's post that I decided to try it with a scene embossing folder.  Our new Shinhan Touch Twin Alcohol Markers are perfect for this technique!

These cards are SO shiny and pretty in real life!

 I love techniques that are super easy but full of visual pop!  I hope you'll give this one a try! 

Stay crafty my friends!

Playing with new CTMH Alcohol Markers

I made this card a little while ago using a REALLY old retired CTMH stamp set that I think is called Groovy.  I love the shape of the flower - retro and it reminds me of doodling in my notebooks at school.  I stamped in our new Cocoa pigment ink and then used the Sweet Leaf marker set to fill in the flower.  You can see there is a lighter rim around the outside of the flower and the darker inside.  This was my first attempt at the alcohol markers so its nothing to write home about but I am enjoying the blending aspects of these little beauties.

I used a Martha Steward button punch with Lagoon cardstock and then dosed the whole thing with some Liquid Glass to give it some shine. 

Here is a funny, I have no idea which CTMH set the sentiment is from.  I've looked through the sets on my desk and I must have already put it away.  I just finished looking through about 8 books and wasn't able to find it so its driving me crazy!  Anybody know which set this sentiment is from???

Thanks for stopping by today!  Stay crafty my friends!
