Think Pink!

I played in a one-on-one challenge last week to make a card with PINK. I wanted to use Melon Mambo, until I realized that it was not in my order like it was supposed to be! Backup plan in effect...

Need a coaster for the summer???

Make one! I used an Italian tumbled tile here. Sort of rough/rustic on the edges, and mostly smooth on the top surface. Stamp images in Staz-On ink, heat set, color in with Sharpies, then heat set again. That's it! Then put some felt circle pads underneath to protect your table.

Stamps: She-roes (Artistic Outpost)

Ink: Jet Black Staz-on

Other: Italian tumbled tile (home depot), Sharpie markers (careful with the yellow...something about yellow and black...they want to smear each other), self-adhesive felt circle pads, Heat tool.
