Gardening Girl~Chalk Style

Hey, Happy Thursday to you...

Thanks for stopping by

today I bring to you a card for the 

Chalk N Stock Challenge Blog

Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers
Darice embossing folder
card stock and buttons from the stash
and of course
Powdered Chalk
I turned a white card stock in to a beautiful color of green
by using a cotton ball dipped in the powdered chalk
then rubbing over the embossed card stock.
this is 1 of many great way to use powdered chalks.

Oh how I love my new crafting addiction
Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers
they are similar to the Copic Markers
but at on a budget...
I got mine from
Consumer Crafts
(its a great on line store, they have wonderful budget prices)
I have only colored two little stamps thus far
but I love them already...I had to order more...lol

MyGrafico Monday ~ For Dad

It's tool time !!

The Crafty Clip

has this great Vector Clip Art at MyGrafico Arts and Crafts Store

Check out that great online store...

Each week we have a

Design Team Project to inspire you

this week is a Challenge Week

All about DAD

I used my Cameo's print and cut abilities

and cut each of the elements with the Cameo after printing them on my own printer,

 in case your not familiar with that technique.

It was the selling point for me to 'justify' a new electronic cutter ... hee hee it worked

so with this I used my adjustable marker holder by Amy Chomas with my Cameo
to create the peg board

card stock from the stash
brown zig marker w/marker holder
and the Crafty Clip vector images
I even added one of the cut elements on the envy to match the card...

Easy Peasy !!!

now it's your turn to try your hand at the
all about dad's challenge

Happy Monday !!!

Pink Poodles in Paris ~ MyGrafico Monday

Oh this is just a cute set 

Pink Poodles in Paris

by Babystar Design

I was able to get them to print and cut with my Cameo

(oh I just love that machine) ...

I used a step card by SVGATTIC 

to create this card.

I even got to use my new alcohol markers

Spectrum Noir

I got them from ConsumerCrafts

and if you have not found this online store yet ...

it's worth your time to check out ALL their great deals ...

anyway back to my project...

I used the alcohol markers to create the grass, 

I used a stamp from Stamp n plus Scrap n

"Cheer Up!"

and for the brad, well lets just say I got some 

'Happy Mail' this week from a good friend...

she sent me a whole big bag of different charms and brads

oh what fun to use with my projects ...

And there you have my project for MyGrafico Monday ...

My New Marker Holder

So today was a great day

I got to spend some time with my dad

(too bad it's not father's day already)

No he is really fun to be with....

anyway I got these new alcohol markers by 

Spectrum Noir

and I just had to have a place safe and some where I would see them so that I will use them

I found a few different things online, but they were all too expensive

and I knew my dad could help me with this project

so we went to his 'stash' of goodies ... lol

his stash of lumber and such and made this wonderful marker holder...

this is just perfect for my markers...

and there are not too many more spaces to fill...

which is good for me...

as I am the type to have to fill them all up NOW !!! hee hee

but really I can see me making another one in the feature to add to the collection...

I think now that we know what we are doing...the next one should be much faster to make...

but it was good times with dad, that's what makes it even more special...

as you can see I have already found stuff to put on top of it...

I have too much stuff...lol...

but really can a crafter have too much stuff ?

Dad,

Thanks for helping me ... this was so fun and now we know what we are doing for next time,

and yeah there will be a next time ... but not for a while

I hope anyway...hee hee

My Newest Addition to My Crafting Supplies ...

OMG, I am hooked ...

I found these Alcohol Markers over at 

ConsumerCrafts

they are similar to the Copic Markers

but at a better price ... 

some might say you get what you paid for...

but not ever touching a Copic I know no difference

so with that...

here is my 1st coloring I did with these

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers ...

If you look hard

you can see the little artist in the middle

I used a Tuxedo Black by Memento ink pad

with a StampN Plus ScrapN stamp

then I colored my image with these great markers ...

for my 1st time even opening an alcohol marker

I think I did pretty good ...

I love how they blend the colors and looks like

the edges are inked and darker...and there are

softer spots in the colors...oh fun fun fun...

So this is my newest little adventure

I hope you enjoy your weekend ...

I know I am going to !

Happy day

KtsAngels
