Portrait Bug Week: Day Five

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

Friday is here and we are dying tags with Glimmer Mist and watercolors.  Woo Hoo!

2006-sm

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill); Paint (Winsor&Newton watercolors, gesso by Golden); Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels); Rub-ons (Jenni Bowlin); Pen (Sakura Pigma Micron); Alphabet Stickers (Making Memories); Tags (Avery)

I love making my own embellishments.  Here's a quick primer on how to dye your own delicious tags (plus some tips on using Glimmer Mist)!  Just press play.

On Tuesday, I sent my "Rock of Love" ATCs off to the swap hostess.  Here they are:

I can't wait to see what I get back!

And I've got TWO *enormous* toots to share!  Woo Hoo!

1. I had a layout picked up for the February Tips & Tricks column in Creating Keepsakes magazine!

2. I have been asked to join the Around the Block design team!  Here's the announcement:

If you don't know ATB, they make awesome tools!  I'm particularly psyched to get my hands on the brad maker and the phrase maker.  But, who knows what else I'm going to fall in love with?

Thanks for stopping by!
