Why I love Stampin' Blends and the colors to start with



I was talking to a customer recently who is interested in purchasing the Stampin' Blend alcohol markers.  They are my FAVORITE alcohol markers and I think they are superior to all the other alcohol markers that are on the market. ( And I've tried a bunch!!) Of course I own them all (Actually, because I am a demonstrator I have THREE complete sets!) but to do that in one fell swoop is a costly endeavor.  ($355.50 before shipping/tax to be exact.)  So if you want to start a collection of these amazing markers I'd suggest starting with the following colors:



Remember, you get two markers to a set, a light and a dark, for $9.00. (Which is less than ONE marker of another popular brand.)


Old Olive (great for folliage)
Petal Pink (the light is awesome for caucasion skin tones)
Flirty Flamingo (amazing for flowers and rosy cheeks and lips)
Soft Suede (awesome for African American and Latino skin tones, tree trunks)
Balmy Blue (terrific for sky, water)
Pumpkin Pie (the name says it all - my go to for pumpkins and Halloween images)
Highland Heather (wonderful for flowers)
Daffodil Delight (think lemons, center of flowers)
Real Red (best Christmas Color)
Smoky Slate (super for highlighting/shadows. Even though there is a black blend I use the dark shade for black most of the time as the Basic Black blend can obliterate the lines in an image.)

I personally use the Light Pool Party for highlighting the outside of my colored images. AND a color lifter is a must!

Oh - and if you are interested in purchasing any of these markers, let me know I have a SPECIAL for you!  Just text or email!

Crazy Weekend!!!

This past weekend was a good one - balance of play and work! I've decided to redecorate the guest bedroom and that required a fresh coat of paint.  Looks amazing, if I do say so myself. I'll post pictures when it is finished. I'm sad to say that the play part didn't involve any stamping - just socializing so I have nothing to share today.  So here is a photo of one of my favorite cards! (For those of you in the In-Color Club you will see something similar in the fall!)

Monday Musing

Over the weekend I was going through my box of cards - something that I hadn't done in YEARS!  I ended up putting together two gallon-sized Ziploc bags of cards to donate to my church tag sale. It was interesting to see how my style has changed and my technique has improved over the years. I have a few cards that I'd like to replicate - which I've set aside - and a few others that I just really like and won't/can't part with as much as I'd like to do so!  I think I'm going to put them into an album of some sort. Maybe to use as inspiration when I have no mojo.  Here is a favorite back from my "nude" craze.  I can't tell you how many stamps I have with nude people!
