Today’s cards feature a combination of three products available through STAMPlorations paper subscriptions. I started with two of the STAMPlorations Vintage Camera Ephemera that I paired with two coordinating STAMPlorations Watercolor ATCs. I attached the camera with foam tape and stamped one of the STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments: Hashtag Authentic. I framed it with black cardstock … Read more
Ombré Obsession is the April Challenge at Pinkfresh Studio. Even though Pinkfresh discontinued many of their paper products, I still have one heck of a stash left to go through, and I remembered that several of the paper collections had some Ombre designs. I chose this green paper from Pinkfresh Studio Just a Little Lovely for … Read more
I’m sneaking in a card for Amy T’s Woodblock Wednesday featuring some oldies but goodies from Starving Artistamps from 2008.

I finished with a sticker sentiment.

Since my beloved Mark’IT Markers have been discontinued, the hunt for another fine tip marker led me to Faber-Castell Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers. For their inaugural coloring adventure, I paired them with STAMPlorations Framed Flowers Colorables (you can see all of the Colorables Here).
