I Love You Valentine Typewriter Greeting Card

Hey there! It’s Ginny here to share a very fun and whimsical Valentine greeting card.

I mean who doesn’t like a vintage typewriter? So much better than a text message or email right?

I was lucky to have some patterned paper in my stash that had type keys and the background was red so it was a perfect match! 

This sweet little sentiment was part of that same paper pad from Martha Stewart. The crisp white doily helps to break up the busy patterns.

I chose the flowers and the polka dot ribbon to coordinate.

One more flowers for the top and a tiny little love mail charm.

Last but not least a few blingy pearls.

Finishing this chippie could not have been easier….it’s just a metallic paint in graphite. So Simple!

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Orange Dragonfly Card

Hey there Peeps! Dropping in to share a project that was really inspired by how I could use my Fabulous Spectrum Noir Markers to alter and customize embellishments and trim. I colored on pretty much everything I could get my hands on and the results were amazing.

I used a nice variety of stamps from Crafter’s Companion to create a great background and focal images then had a good ol time coloring my embellishments to create a mixed media inspired card.

These paper flowers and ribbon trims were tinted with the markers. I also added some inking and glitter to the edges of the largest anchor flower to give it a little extra oomph since it’s the focal flower.

The pearly accents took the marker really well which surprised me because I was expecting it to smudge off….but it didn’t yay!!

The flowers for this small arrangement were actually white poinsettia Christmas stem flowers….they colored just fine….but the marker did soak through so if you try this…please work over layers of paper towel to absorb the excess.

I’m quite pleased  with the outcome of this experiment…I’ll definitely consider altering my embellishments from now to customize them for my projects!

Thank You Tag

Hey there Peeps.
