Welcome, Summer!

It is about that time...Time to make about a million teacher thank-you cards.  This year I've decided to use the new Flip Flop dies from PTI.  LOVE them!  Here is my attempt at a beachy vignette in two color versions:




Paper: PTI Kraft, Aqua Mist and Summer Sunrise pattern pack, Bitty Dot pp, white, Sweet Blush, Orange Zest
Ink: Versamark, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic markers
Stamps: PTI Wreath for All Seasons
Other: PTI Blueberry Sky and Hawaiian Shores felt, White EP, PTI Flip Flop dies, dimensional tape

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
