With the right shoes....

Comfortable shoes are necessary for a woman to be confident, the same as with great friends.

When friends are by our side and comfortable shoes on our feet, we are able to conquer the world.  Designer paper to match the Pink Pirouette card stock on a Whisper White A2 size card base.  The Shoes Digi file is from Anne Ingram. Of course, I had to make them bling with glitter after coloring them in Pink Pirouette Stampin Up Stamping Blends. Sentiment is from Skipping Stones Design Stamp Set.  Check out the Digi files from our Lady Beans in our Etsy Shop

Our blessed month of Ramadan is coming in 5 days.  I cannot wait. I had to make a Ramadan wish card. These roses from Annie Collins were the best to display my sentiment from Altenew.  I colored using Stampin Up's Stampin Blends Markers. Everyone knows that Salima cannot live without bling.  The Roses have glitter on them to give them a little pop.  The image was cut out by my Scan N Cut and then layered on Basic Black card stock and printed card stock. The sentiment is from Altenew wishing the receiver "May This Ramadan Be Your Best Ever" stamped on a label with a gold outline and embossed in Gilded Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe.  Gold sequins finish off this card. 

Mom's Day!

Hello everyone! I am back! I took a little hiatus.  As you all know, Mom's day is on the horizon.  The tulips were are a special image from Anne Ingram. I printed them and had my Scan N Cut do the work of cutting the images out.  The tulips were colored with my Stampin Up Stampin Blends Markers. Mom stamp is from the stamp set Mom's Clematis from Simon Says Stamps.  The background is designer series paper from Stampin Up and the bees are from Stampin Up's Paper Pumpkin from January 2020 "I'll Bee Yours".  Of course Salima has to bling, so I added a little embossing powder Brutus Monroe called Spring Sparkle and a little bling to the head of the bees.  Hope you enjoy this beautiful card

Fresh and Springy Tulips Altered Paint Brush

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with The Coffee Beans sharing a fresh and springy altered paintbrush. I used the beautiful Tulips digi stamp from our own Annie Collins which can be found on the Facebook Page The Multi Crafters Craft Cafe, go to photos, click albums, look for The Coffee Bean Stamp Machine, scroll till see the tulip set.

Supplies: Paintbrush, old and painty or a new one that can be painted up.
                Paint of your choice
                Foam brush
                Lace, ephemera, embellishments, digi image, ribbon
                Hot glue gun

What I did: I painted my new brush, here and there. I painted the bristle of the brush to match, just the top layer and then along the bottom of the bristles.

Using a heat gun, I dried the brush top and sides. I then carefully hit the bristles with heat which then caused the bristle to melt and shrink a bit, making it looked like it had been used.

Then taking care I scrap paint off  here and then further adding to the used look.

I then colored my tulips using an eye make up applicator and distress oxide ink, starting at the bottom and blending up.

Using the glue gun I adhered the lace, arranged the tulips gluing down, added the ephemera, the ribbon for the hanger and there you have it!

Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments.

Until Next Time......

Robin
