This Thank You card is my favorite...
size: 5"sq
I lightly penciled in my center box and with a wide flat brush loaded it with water and dusted Brusho Powder over it, first with yellow and then with the blue which came out a bit too much... Dried.
Repeatedly wrote the words "Thank You" with a Nikko G nib and Sumi ink in a script writing style. Adhered to a blue cardstock then onto my side folded yellow card base.
On Canson Mixed Media paper using a Zig Writer created my ornaments. Used a Juice Up pen to doodle and colored pencils both Prisma & Super Ferby Metallic. Added a black border then adhered to a red 5" x 7" card base
Our December project was to make a tunnel book. Haven't made one of those in several years... and since we're in December... thought I'd make it an Xmas themed one.
I used a heavy weight white cardstock (unknown brand probably 140#) for the pages. Dry embossed the cover and hit the high points with a red Distress pad.(I forget it expands the paper a bit so my first page warped a little - sigh!!)
The back page was stamped with a winter house scene and the area around the stamping colored with Distress Oxide pad Broken China.
I pulled out a pile of wintry and tree dies and cut from Staples white 110# cardstock. Colored with Distress pads. Added some glitter to the snowflakes and glossy accents to the red berries.
Well if nothing else I've finally used some of my embossing folder/stamp and dies which I haven't used in many years...
I've been having a lot of fun with my Black Edition colored pencils. I started drawing these hexagon shapes and the next thing I knew I was adding abstract designs within them... When finished creating the hex's I decided to make it into a card and added the word "Hello"
You'll need a light pad with a very bright light, your Celtic grid paper, and your water media paper (I used Canson Mixed Media 98#).
If you're doing a more complex design Use a single line design on the grid paper to follow on your mixed media paper keeping the line on the design in the middle of your flat brush.
On Recollections black cardstock using Faber Castell Black Edition colored pencils, a Geli Roll white pen for outlining and highlight marks.
I need a more square image for instagram... hence the lower image...

On Fabriano 1264Mixed Media paper outlined my Celtic letter with a Micron 08 pen. Colored with Inktense w/c pencils "Deep Violet". Shadowed with the Micron pen and added Holographic sticky dots.
This week on Scribbled Lives we need to create a letter only... no text. Since I've done a Celtic "H" & "G" I decided to do a "Y"...
Size: 4"w x 5.5"h
On Paper Reflections black cardstock outlined my Celtic letter with a Sakura white 08 Geli Roll pen.
Gilded the center ovals with Roberson's "red gold"23K gold leaf and the rest with Mona Lisa Red Leaf using a Designa Size Quick Pen gold leaf adhesive.
Colored the knot work with Black Edition colored pencils. Added some holographic gel glitter in the 3 dots.
Size closed: 4"w x 5"h x 3/8"thk
I haven't done a coptic binding since 2010... but thought it would work for this project, but not as well as I thought. Definitely out of practice...
It's 4 signatures of 3 or 4 folios with a total of 52 pages. I only wrote on the right side of each page.
A friend sent me a bunch of funny sayings and I was in a mood to create a booklet of them. Another friend had just given me some wonderful 80# paper that had a slight glossy feel to it and I love writing on it... sorry don't know the exact name of it...
You might notice a title on back and front covers... I realized after writing it, it was on the back cover and consequently upside down... so instead of trying to correct or camouflage it I enhanced it with "Ha Ha Wrong Side..." I'm still chuckling...
Text written with a .08 Micron pen in a funky monoline style. I love interconnecting letters... then colored with Prisma colors #905, 917 & 926

I have a 3 bedroom home and I converted my living room into my art room many many years ago... I'm in it from when I get up in the morning to when I go back upstairs in the evening...
On Genoa bond paper using an HB pencil wrote out the text in "Versatile Vyaz" (Thomas Vezina). He's apparently one of the online Iampath instructors and I've come across his style on Instagram quite a bit. I love funky style writing...
words: My art room: all day every day

I created this on Rhodio Pascribe's Grey calligraphy paper. I forgot I had it... but was looking for something else and said yes to trying with the Black Edition. They work beautifully on that paper. Not so much my Sharpie pen... it bled through to the next page - sigh! The lettering glows in real life - not so much in the image.
As mentioned a Sharpie fine point tip for all the black stuff and a Uniball Signo white gel point for the highlights.
And I just noticed the Sharpie has 2 ends fine & ultra fine... go figure I never realized that. ROFL.
Another couple ECS envelopes done... I went through some calligraphy styles I collected in 2015 which I really like - funky... so thought I'd play with it.
