Let's take a look at our PEN collection....and RATE their quality, and performance...I DID!

I was cleaning up some of my markers, pens, and more pens today, because Saturday is a clean up the Craft Room Day for me! I have all these pens I bought for different reasons. One for stitching around my cards, one for adding glitter, one for placing gold around an image....and the list goes on, and on....When I finished sorting them, I decided to show you the ones I have, and rate the quality, and performance of each. Now, after seeing some of these pens, you will have an idea of how they RATE in my stash, before going out and purchasing your own! Smile.... Some I haven't opened yet, but, I was glad I did it today. I found some wonderful pens, that have some other capabilities, other than "drawing lines"!

I found these Iron Vintage Antique Wall Hangers....you guessed it!!!...Thrift Store...( the flowers at one, the hanger at another shop)

Homemade Raw Silk Baby Dress....A Thrift Store Find...(of course)....SMILES

Vellum Copic Blending Technique

This is the second VELLUM card today....smiles...I saw this technique, and had to put my spin on it!!! This is one of those QUICK CARDS to put together, when you need an ASAP card. It truly takes just minutes....I used 2 coloured Copic Markers, a piece of SU vellum, and the Copic Blender Marker, to create this AWESOME card! I took a few flower stamps, and stamping them on the vellum, using SU Pigment White Ink, then applying clear embossing powder, to move the colours around, you end up with this "WOW FACTOR" card....it is truly EYE POPPING!!!...ENJOY,

3D RAISED Vellum Watercolour Technique

I hope you are having a great weekend.
