I keep trying to love these Tim Holtz Distress watercolor pencils. I have sets one through three. I do love the Distress color line, and often used the sprays and ink pads. These pencils look so pretty in their little tins. :) I grabbed an older Papercraft Society box, as I have been churning out a fair deal of cards lately. I smooshed some liquid ink on Bristol paper. I stamped the image on a piece of sturdy cardstock and used the pencils to color. I used a Tonic Studios shimmer pen to add ... View the Post
Arrtx Acrylic Markers & VIDEO
The Arrtx acrylic markers have been a lot of fun to use in recent weeks. The have various kinds, including this dual end style.

This one below can be wallpaper or fabric from Spoonflower! ... View the Post
Mixed Media Board
Sometimes, you just have to collage. There are days when I don't have a plan, or am not feeling well enough to be creative. Making a mixed media "board" is the perfect thing to do! I used mixed media paper, taped it off to create two sections, and started by gluing down some gel-printed rice paper. The steps are as you see below in the following pictures. I added gesso, scaped soft pastels and activated with water, stamped, and splattered. I removed the tape and ended up with ... View the Post
Peach & Blackberry Acrylic Marker Painting
I have recently been having fun with Arrtyx Acrylic markers. I love my Posca paint pens, but they can be very pricey! I still love my Posca white marker the best, but these are very close!

The brush tips are the right balance of sturdy and bendy. :) I also used my Winsor and Newton Cotman Travel watercolor for the underpainting. This is a great little travel set! In a ... View the Post
