Old Friends Card

"Old Friends" card project by InkStains with Roni
I received such a nice email about a stamp in our catalog, 'Old Friends' and wanted to share it: 
"There are plenty of modern stuff on stamps in the market, however, Senior Citizens and elderly people are rarely celebrated on stamps. So THANK YOU FOR whoever drew the "Old FRIENDS" clingstamp. I absolutely love it! Perhaps a lot more than other customers because I work with Senior Citizens / the elderly community. Thank you for the design of the stamp and making them available. I really do love it!
Ivette C. from North Syracuse, New York

To make this 5" x 7"card, Roni begins with black, textured cardstock as the base. She then makes a red matte and a white matte.  She uses textured paper for all of the mattes and smooth paper for the white. Roni then stamps the 'Old and New Friends' rubber stamp on the large white card matte near the bottom (text stamp measuring 3.1" wide x 1.3" tall) or (7,8 cm x 3,3 cm).

For the top part of the card, she cuts a 4" x 4" black matte.  The 'Old Friends' rubber stamp and is stamped in black ink on white, smooth cardstock, (photo stamp) measures 3" wide x 2.8" tall (7,6 cm x 7,1 cm).  A red, textured cardstock is added and glued onto the black matte. Adding a glittered heart in the corner is Roni's touch of sparkle.

Thanks to Roni for creating this card, and a special thanks to Ivette for sending us such a great note!

New Coloring Booklet Casual Chic

We have a new digital download available: It is the  Casual Chic - Modern Fashion Plates Coloring Booklet   featuring 12 girls dressed in cute outfits along with accessories such as eyewear, hats, purses, and some even have a dog with them.  All of the girls measure over 6 inches in height and print onto 3 pages (landscape). The outfits are fun and unique. You will always be challenged to use various colors while practicing your shading and blending techniques. I had such a blast creating the examples for this project.   Tip: If you have not already, this is a good way to get to know what markers you have. There is a color swatch area to label and try out colors before committing onto a character, which is especially helpful for skin and hair. In my case, I got to know which skin tone markers I had. Between 2 sets of brush tip markers, I was able to create a variety of skin colors so that each girl did not look identical to the next. The best part is that you do...
