Simons March Card Kit just sings happy, rainbows and sunshine and it's called, "Color and Sunshine"! For the rainbow I wanted to do something different than the ordinary. I created a patten with the rainbow instead with the luscious glass ink.

I grew up loving crayons and to this day love the smell and the memories that the smell brings. Naturally I was going to fall in love with the card kit stamps set & in case you didn't know it can purchase it separately. Woo Hoo! Don't you love the crayon stamp? L.O.V.E!!

Lawn Fawn has the best mini patterns on their paper. I added some watercolors to the crayons that I stamped for some depth. Glossy Accents on the tips of the crayons.

This card is what I call just pain fun because I was doodling a bit on it!! Nice break to use some of these water color pencils. This is a must have to blend and to do away with the water.

Another butterfly for my pin board. Woot!

Let me know if you run into questions on this tutorial. Just in a rush today. The biggest tip is to use some scrap paper to clean your tip before going on the next color. I hope it's a good weekend...what's left of it. AS always thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

your my type

Hello Friends, How are you doing? Braving the cold or hot temps? Today I am popping with a super quick post with a card and two butteries for my pin board.

The sweet typewriter is one of the stamps from Simon Says Stamps newest release. The flowers are from the February Card Kit.

I always enjoy stamping a background especially when the ink matches the paper. Love this "Sea Glass ink!" Note: I carried the stamped background pattern onto the white card stock.

This Micro pen made it possible to draw letters on the typewriter keys. Wink of Stella pen was used on the heart and then I applied Glossy Accents to the keys and heart.

For each image I colored on my card ... I stamped an extra image to color on a blank butterfly for my pin board. The typewrite is from this stamp set.


I masked off the flowers when I created this butterfly and colored all the images for today with Copic markers. You can find the flower stamp set here. Let me know if you have any questions and a big thanks for your visit today. Hugs, Kathy			.
