Color me happy with STAEDTLER and Stampendous


Its the third day of a colorful partnership with STAEDTLER products this week while we showcase our theme Up, Up and Away with new images from the Stampendous 2013 April Catalog.  You all know I love color, right? Well, it's not that easy to hold me back from using everything in the rainbow, but I think I managed to leave out... nope I got them all in, tee-hee.


I created a card with three sets (see list below) of new stamps on this card. After stamping out the Hot Air Trio in Jet Black Ranger ink (waterproof ink) I opened the glorious package of STAEDTLER Ergo Soft Aquarell Pencils and delicately started adding color. It wasn't long before I was using all the techniques and then some for applying color with these pencils onto the balloons. Dry on dry, dry on wet and wet on dry, and using the soft pastels as a resist in the sky.

I have had a set of the STAEDTLER Triplus Color pens that I've used on and off to add a solid color to a piece and also to use on journal pages for writing, but what I found was that they could be manipulated with water! This made the already vibrant color go beyond and then some.
There are some truly fun products by STAEDTLER and I can't wait to bring you MORE this Friday in our combined blog hop!

That's enough from me, now on to the give-aways!

The Stampendous prize package will include one prize package per day (total of 5 packages) from those folks commenting on our bloggers that day. Our package will include SSC1171 Hot Air Scapes Perfectly Clear Stamps and our SSC1170 Soaring Sentiments Perfectly Clear Stamps plus a Jumbo acrylic handle for use with them.




STAEDTLER prize package will be awarded at the end of the week, one for each of their bloggers from all commenters on that blog that week

1 Set of 6 Triplus fineliners, pastel assortment
4 blocks of FIMO soft oven-bake clay in vanilla, peach, lilac and mint

    This is so beautiful! The more I see how these watercolor pencils are being used so creatively, the more I want to try them myself. The colouring you've done is perfect - this card is more a piece of artwork than a card. Lucky is the person who receives this card. KT

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
