Just a quick note, my husband, Russ is going in to have a procedure done at the hospital which involves stopping his heart and shocking it back in rhythm. Please keep him in your thoughts.
I will be checking my e-mail, but please be patient if I do not respond as quick as normal.
Hugs!
Hey There,
Today’s tutorial is a fun little project using FIRE!!! Lol, Really it is using a candle flame, not a roaring fire, grin.

Brayered More Mustard ink on a 3.25″ x 4.5″ piece of Glossy card stock.
Brayered Cajun Craze ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the More Mustard ink entirely.
Brayered Cherry Cobbler ink at the very top of the card stock.
Brayered Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Here is where the project gets fun!
Hold the card stock in the candle flame, ink side down. Moving the card stock at all times until the soot covers the card stock. Be careful to not catch the edges of the card stock on fire. You will not want to touch the soot on the card stock either or you will have finger prints on it.
Stamp the tree on the card stock. Note: the stamp does not have any ink on it.
The stamp will take the soot off of the cardstock.
Stamped the leaves.
Use a fixative to cover the card stock so your soot does not rub off. I used Krylon Fixative and it turned out perfect.
Punched a 1″ square from Cajun Craze card stock and then cut the square in half.
Assembled my card adding 2 Old Olive panels, 1 Basic Black panel, 2 Glimmer Brads and Old Olive Ribbon.
Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.
May your imagination take you to amazing places.
Until my next post. . . . .
Hey There,
Today’s tutorial below was created using one of my favorite technique combinations, emboss resist with a brayered background. I could not resist using this Stampin’ Up! Wolf stamp from the set “In Wilderness” and have this beautiful creature peeking out of the brush.
What do you think, peaceful or scary? Anytime I use a wolf image there is mixed reactions. I find it peaceful myself.

A little about how you start a Zentangle. Take a 3.5″ Whisper White card stock square and with a pencil put a dot in each corner.
Loosely draw a line from one dot to the next.
Imagine that you dropped a string on the card stock. Now draw a string. This could be an “X” going across the card stock or any shape for that matter. My string below has a simple loop. You would then proceed to put a different tangle pattern in each section on the card stock using a black marker.
Okay, got that? Clear as mud?
Now here is how I start my Stamp Tangle.
Stamped the heart from the Stampin’ Up! stamp set I (heart) Hearts using Stazon Jet Black ink in the middle of a 3.5″ square piece of Whisper White card stock. I put a dot in each corner with a pencil. Loosely drew a line from one dot to the next. Added 2 strings with simple loops. When I drew my strings I skipped over the heart so it would empty. Now I’m ready to start tangling in each section.
I like to work with a 01 Micron Black marker to make my tangle patterns and an 08 Micron Black marker to fill in areas and to clean the edges up of my design. The 08 has a much larger point then the 01 which has a very small point.
I like to outline the section that I am concentrating on.
Let me tell you there are a million tangle patterns that you can use. Also keep in mind that you can leave a section plank or only partically fill it in. Anything goes here.
I started by putting a small tear drop in the loop and then added 3 more using the 01.
Added circles in 2 of the sections.
Added lines in one of the sections having them skip over the loop.
Added lines going the other direction, skipping over the loop.
Added 3 crescent shapes in another section. Inside of the crescents, colored in a small crescent and then filled in the background around the crescents using the 08 marker. Also filled in 2 sections in the loop.
Filled in the other small loop with 2 circles and a dot.
Outlined the large section at the top.
Colored in the middle section using the 08.
Repeated the tangle crisscross pattern that I use in the large section at the bottom of the card stock in the large section at the top of the card stock.
When I put in shading I like to use a 2B pencil. The 2B stands for the softness/hardness of the lead of the pencil. You probably remember having to have a #2 pencil in school right? There is a range of hardness-es in art pencils.
I want my heart to stand out so I am going to put shading around the outside of the heart so the background looks like it is receding.
I want to give my heart some shape so I am shading the top of the heart. To smooth out the shading I am going to use a paper stub to rub it. This will smooth the shading so it doesn’t look as scratchy.
Added shading to recede the upper background.
Smoothed it out. See the difference?
Added shading to the bottom of the crescents and around the circles in the loop so the circles stand out more.
Added shading to the right side and the bottom of my piece. Also added my initials. 🙂 Don’t even ask me what the “L” stands for, lol.
Cut 2 Basic Black card stock layers and 2 Cherry Cobbler card stock layers. The measurments are in the photo. 🙂
Using Stampin’ Up! heart punches, punched 2 large Cherry Cobbler hearts and 2 small Basic Black hearts.
Assembled my card front.
Added some bling. Do you believe it!!! Me using Bling! Feel my forehead and I running a fever or what!
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″. Now these stamp tangles can be any size or shape. I’m keeping it simple for the tutorial. 🙂
I hope you enjoyed this venture into the world of stamp tangling. I love it. I cut multiple 3.5″ square pieces of card stock. Stamp a different image on each one and have them in my purse with my 2 markers and my pencil and that is all I need to stamp tangle anywhere I go. I find myself stamp tangling in restaurants, doctors offices or wherever I am that I have a few moments. It’s also a nice thing to do in the evening when your family is watching TV. You can be in the same room doing your own thing, lol.
Just know that you can add color to your stamp tangles. 🙂 Go ahead and go for it!
Do a google search for tangle patterns and you will be amazed at the number of tangle patterns out there. I used just a couple very basic patterns in today’s project.
Also, don’t forget the therapeutic feeling you get from this process. While I am stamp tangling my mind does not race. I find myself in the moment and very relaxed. Give it a try!
May your day be filled with exciting new adventures.
Until my next post. . . . .

I introduced Stamp Tangling to you in my last post and I’m pretty fired up about the process. Last night I stamped a few images on 3.5″ square pieces of Whisper White card stock and brought them with me. Since you don’t need much in supplies to do this process I was able to create this Eagle piece in a restaurant having lunch today. 🙂 Excuse my shotty photos, I’m dealing with hotel room lamp light, lol.
And this one with the seashells was done just a few moments ago as I kick it in my hotel room.
By all the comments that were left on my last post I suppose I need to create some tutorials on this Stamp Tangle technique. Stay tuned, once I get back home I’ll get one posted for you to try.

Hi There,
I’m busy packing for my next travel location. I will be heading to Lincoln, Illinois to teach my brayer techniques to some fabulous students, woohooo! I love an adventure, don’t you?
Before I leave I wanted to pose a question for you. Do you know what Zentangle is? Zentangle is something I find myself doing when I’m a bit stressed or just want to calm my mind. Zentangle is a relaxing process that turns drawing simple patterns into artistic design. Plus you get the mental health benefits, love that. Here is a link to the Zentangle Creator’s website if you would like more info on Zentangling, CLICK HERE.
Now, you know how much I love rubber stamping and I’m guessing that you do too if you are reading my blog. Well I have been playing around with using stamping in the Zentangle process. I call it Stamp Tangle.
Would you like to know how this is done? Maybe see some tutorials? If so, let me hear from you in my comment section below. If you are getting this via e-mail and want to comment, please CLICK HERE and then leave a comment at the bottom of the actual blog post.
If there is some interest I will create some Stamp Tangle things to share with you on this blog.
It’s a wonderful process. I think you will love it.
May you have an inner peace filled weekend.
Until my next post. . . . .

Hi There,
Sometimes I just get burnt out creating seasonal cards so here is one for you today that can be given to lighten anyone’s heart any time of year. The coloring was done with Stampin’ Up! markers and yes, you can get great shading effects with water based markers. Hang out and take a look at the tutorial for this card below.

Punched a 3/4″ circle from the sticky part of a post it note to use as a mask for my moon. Put the moon up in the right hand corner of a 3.5″ x 6.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Brayered Baja Breeze ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayered So Saffron ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Removed the moon mask and drew in a few squiggle lines with the brush end of a Wild Wasabi marker.
Stamped the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! set Summer Solstice using Wild Wasabi ink.
Colored the bottom of the leaves using a Pear Pizzazz marker.
Colored the rest of the leaves in with a So Saffron Marker.
Added an Old Olive marker line at the bottom of the leaves and a line down the left side of the vines.
Added white gel pen to the leaves for highlights.
Stamped the bird from the Stampin’ Up! set Language of Friendship using Stazon Jet Black ink.
Colored bird and wing in with a So Saffron Marker.
Added Riding Hood Red and then quickly colored over the bird using the So Saffron Marker to blend.
Did the same to the wing and also added a bit of Soft Suede marker to the bottom of the bird and wing, beak and dark area on the face. Blended again with the So Saffron marker.
Cut out the bird and wing.
Added Basic Black marker to the very bottom of the bird and wing.
Assembled together a 5″ x 6.5″ Old Olive Panel, a 6.5″ x 4″ Bashful Blue Panel, the main image panel and the bird parts. I then used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on the Old Olive Panel.
Added a 5″ x 6.5″ Bashful Blue panel and here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be filled with sweet, sweet surprises.
Until my next post. . . . . . .
