Imagine, Discover, Treasure

As one who is not skilled in coloring, I am everlastingly grateful for the arrival of the Life Changing brushes, layering stencils, Distress Oxide inks, and coordinating stamps and dies . . .  it's quite a bundle and worth every penny.

 . . . the coloring results are always terrific and make me look more talented than I really am!  I am always up for that.  The layering stencils are a major time-saver and enable anyone to do detail coloring that would otherwise be difficult to accomplish.  Oxide inks were made to be blended and they do that better than any other ink I've tried.  As for the brushes, their results are always perfect - they leave a very smooth and powder-pristine surface that I could never achieve otherwise.

The order of creation is a little different than usual:  I did the coloring first and then overstamped with the matching image.  This gave me crisp edges that were a solid black.  The main motif on this card came together so fast that I decided to have some fun by beading the centers of the larger flowers.  I think I like this card!
