Believe In Yourself Card Wtih Scraps

Are you one of those who tend to collect the scraps from your card making? Guilty as charged I have accumulated so much scraps over the years I can make so much cards out of them if I really put my heart into it. Sharing with you today is a card I created with some of the scraps from my previous project, it's not bad in my opinion for a card made with scraps. LOL. what do you say?!

I like the effect of the embossed metal sheet in the middle, Sheena's 3D embossing folder is perfect for this! It brings out the dimension so beautifully. I feel kind of a contentment knowing that I have  finally used some of the things I've been collecting.

Supplies:
- SS Rustic Wedding 12x12 Paper Pad
- Crafter's Companion Craft Metal Sheet
- Crafter's Companion Stamps Set (Believe In Spring)
- Crafter's Companion Stamps Set (Spring Is In The Air)
- Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
- Sheena's 3D Embossing Folder (Clockwork Dasies)
- Crafter's Companion Embossing Glue Pad
- Crafter's Companion Embossing Heat Gun
- Gemini Machine

Find Your Wings With DIY Background

I have recently invested in Ranger's alcohol inks and have been experimenting with it to see the different results. Following is one of the cards I created using the inks for background and stamped over with a stamp from Crafter's Companion named "Find Your Wings". 

After stamping the image I realized the lines on the wings were not as noticeable so I traced them with a white gel pen. I kind of like the background although it doesn't depict my style (I prefer clean look), once in awhile I like to create something out of my elements. Let me know what you think! 

Supplies:

- Crafter's Companion Stamps Set (Find Your Wings)

- Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers 

Others:
- Ranger Alcohol Inks

Spectrum Noir AquaTint Brush Pens On HSN!

Great news to share, Spectrum Noir AquaTint brush pens are coming to HSN this May 2nd! To all Crafter's Companion fans, you don't want to miss out this deal. I myself is a super big fan of Crafter's Companion and very lucky enough to be on their design team, thus I get my first hands on these amazing and super cool AquaTint pens. Following is my first experiment using these brush pens and they are absolutely wonderful! 

Basically these pens are designed similar to the Sparkle markers, they both have brush nibs that allow you to color simple and intricate images. The difference is that the AquaTint is water-based and does not contains sparkle powder like the Sparkle markers do. If you are familiar with the Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers, these AquaTints are the brush nib version. I made a card with the brush pens and loved them! I will upload the tutorial to create this card soon, so stay tuned...!

Supplies:
- Spectrum Noir AquaTint Brush Pens (Blue Topaz, Moonlight, Harvest Moon, Smoked Quartz, Starry Sky, Onyx Black, Amethyst)
- Crafter's Companion Clear Acrylic Stamp Set (Wild at Heart)

New Sheena's Sparkle Markers are here soon on HSN! They are two brand new sets - Hot and Spicy, and Cool and Calm colors sets. Also Crafter's Companion designed six (yes, SIX) clear acrylic stamps sets to go with these markers. Made a card using two of the stamps sets and the new Sparkle Markers!

The background was created using the markers as well and the sentiment reads "Do Small Things With Great Love".
