    I love the Gus & Gertie stamps from Taylored Expressions….they are just so cute! Yesterday, I created a few cards for a non-profit called Tails of Grey. I stamped the images in a Hybrid Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. Taylor has great masks to create one layer cards and I created the background…

    I’m wandering through fields…

    When Lori Craig designed Field Notes for Taylored Expressions in 2020, I wonder if she realized that this kit would sell out quickly. Guess what…it’s 2021, we’re still in quarantine and Lori Craig’s illustrations are coming alive in Field Notes 2. Until my kit arrives, I am playing with the original Field Notes Kit. It’s…

    Ethereal Nights

    The inspiration and CASE (copy and selectively edit) for the card Ethereal Nights came from the wonderful and talented Lydia Fielder at Understand Blue…to say that she’s amazingly talented is an understatement and I get to call her my friend!
