Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #18

For the first time I tried the tape transfer technique for all the flowers using Scotch packing tape for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #18. No cupcakes today. I learned this from a Hero Arts YouTube video. I'll be doing this type of image transfer again. It's fun. (Excuse the night time lighting...the colors look off)

Jenn's Crayon Challenge

Jenn, from Kiyomi Krafts, created a unique Crayon challenge yesterday and she used my son, Kalino for the inspiration. Thanks Jenn for the mention on your blog! Kalino was thrilled to recognize his name on your website.

What a coincidence... I was going to try the Crayon resist technique I saw on a Hero Arts YouTube video on Friday, but a bad headache kept me out of my craft area. I first stamped the image with Black Memories ink on white glossy paper. I let it dry for several minutes. I used a white Crayon to trace around the image. Using Stampin' Spots, I rubbed ink on the image. Using a paper towel, I rubbed off the excess ink. The white areas pop. I love this technique!
