The mountains were made combining Dark Roast Silk and… Read More »

I used the blue in the set and used the Gold PanPastel (not part of the set) for the sand since I didn’t have a brown or beige… Read More »

It is so hard to make a card for a grandson who is turning 20. I didn’t want something to juvenile for him nor too adult so I went with the Star-Dom Dies. The background is the ink pad to paper technique and I used the Catalina Splash and Pineapple Smoothie Ink Pads for this. I also used the Sparkle Silk and Catalina Splash Reinker (with a Blending Brush) to… Read More »
