CR84FN22 -

The  CR84FN22 colors this week are lovely and very earthy. .

I love coloring on kraft and when I saw the colors this week included kraft I decided to try the black magic / white magic technique.  


The image was stamped using white pigment ink on kraft. Color over inked image using color pencils. The sentiment is Verses Troubles Be Less MC0336-D

Here is a second card created using the lovely Memory Box stamps:




Here is  the wonderful inspiration photos. I love the quotes on the color photos and this weeks is truly applicable to me. I am always trying to learn something or do something new when creating.

For all the details on the challenge this week go to the CR84FN blog.

    LOVE the first card Suzz... not sure if it's the colours ( which are fabulous) or the torn vellum... looks amazing. Your second card is also wonderful.

    These are both gorgeous Sue. Love the technique on the first one. Not tried that before so thanks for sharing the how to. Love the distressed look of the second card and of course the butterfly. The images used on both cards are really lovely, especially the beautiful fern.

    Fab use of this weeks colors! Love the added sentiment on vellum to the first card, but am really drawn to the richness of the second! The beautiful butterfly is perfect with the journey sentiment.

    The Black magic technique looks phenomenal on that first card!!! Love it and the Memory Box card, I almost went crazy buying some of these adorable images last week at the stamp store-they were so cute and your card is just reaffirming they should have made their way into my basked LOL
