Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Varada Sharma.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card today showcases Varada's Abundance of Joy digital set.

After printing out the images onto Neenah white card stock, I pulled out my Copic markers and got to coloring before lightly stippling Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink leftover from another project to soften the white around my flowers.  Once I had the image panel layered, I added some white brads and set aside.  Taking a Cuttlebug© Stylized Flowers embossing folder, and my Big Shot© I dry embossed the card base before adhering the layered image panel using glue dots.  The final touches were some sunburst glitter stickles to the flower centers and then some SSS warm tone gems.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out since I'm still battling COVID and my migraines.

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop using the Coffee Doodle-Doo set from Unity Stamps.  

After stamping the image, and saying, in Memento tuxedo black on to Copic X-Press It©, I colored it using Copic markers before layering and adding brads.  Taking a coffee bean stencil from Impression Obsession, I created the background for my card using espresso ink and a blending brush.  Taking my layered image panel, I adhered it using glue dots before adding a few dots in the upper right/lower left corners using a black Castle Arts gel pen.  Inside I stamped the "caffeinate and hope for the best" saying from the set. I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out.  Although, I'm starting to finally feel a little better from COVID, I still get short of breath/cough easily and a migraine.
