Marks Finest Papers' April Blog Hop- CAMELLIA



Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

April Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are



Here is the card I did with this stamp set for today:
Featured April 18
Camellia

Using Versamark and white glitter embossing powder, I stamped and heat embossed my flower. This is a nice sparkle that I couldn't quite get pictured.



To color this pretty flower, I used Tim Holdtz distress markers and did a quick and easy watercolor technique. Items needed, markers, water pen and clear stamp block. All I did was color a little on the stamp block with the aqua pen, I picked up the color and applied it to the flower.
 Hope you like this, I am definitely going to try the water color technique again.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon.
