Deepest Condolences

Today's 365 Cards challenge is:
Stamp a tone-on-tone background, so that the pattern you stamp is roughly the same color as the paper/cardstock it's stamped on.
In order to achieve this, I used VersaMark ink to stamp the Gingham background. I have not used this technique for a while, but have now re-realized how cool it can look. I will be doing this more often in the future!

Make sure to check out all of the other great challenges from earlier this week!!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Day 2

Welcome back to day number two!  I am so happy to see you all back here for my Guest Design Team spot for Peachy Keen Stamps . For today's project I will be using the Tuesday Sketch Challenge from the Challenge Blog . I used the Cheers and Green Beer stamp set for my card. I have been so focused lately on Valentine's Day that I have completely blocked out St. Patty's Day! But here is a card to remedy that. I used my Copic Markers to color in the images and used my Spica Glitter Pens for added definition. I am glad to say that I think I am finally getting the hang of these markers. I masked the coins to give a continuous border of them and used a pop dot under the mug of green beer. Don't forget to leave a comment here and at the Peachy Keen Blog for your chance to win the Valentine Cupids stamp set! Thanks for stopping by!!!
