Planty Dandy

Planty Dandy

Thanks For Helping Me Grow!


Hey All! I have been sorting through my stamp sets for fun stuff to color, but also to purge! There is a great page I am a part of on FB called De-Stash to Re-Stash! Here is a link to my album, I say this because I am planning on a LARGE Bella purge, plus I have some really fun stuff for sale there. So, today I have Planty Dandy. Dandy is this cute lion from Stamping Bella, I have several. This one as been in my “to color” bin for quite a while. I am trying to whittle down that pile before buying new stuff. Fun fact on this card, I did the sentiment as normal stamping in Versafine and heat embossing, but this time I used pearl over the black and it gave this gorgeous grey! Now, on with the Show & Tell…


To make his mane I put little bits of pale colors all over, then used the rag technique over it to create that fun cotton candy like mane.

OLO MARKER Debut

OLO MARKER Debut

Oddball Amelia


Hi All! So today I am going to talk a bit about Olo Markers. If you are an Alcohol Marker colorer, then you have probably heard chatter about or even have tried the new Olo marker. So recently I went out to Jenn Dove’s Boot Camp, taking the Olo’s needed for the classes. I tried them a little at home, with some frustration. So, I put them aside to wait until I could get some tips on using them straight from Jenn. She did not disappoint. After an overview and some pointers I fell in love. Yes, I now have a full set as well as a refill cartridge for each color. You can configure these markers in a couple of different ways. I am using the brush tip screwed to a refill. That’s like 8 markers! Now, by NO means am I replacing my Copics. I mean honestly I have two full sets and a full set of old style refills! Right now my Olo’s are a good ADDITION to my Copics. Here are MY pros and cons on the Olo’s



Now, on with the Show & Tell…


Only her face and hair and the map are done with Copic, the rest is all Olo.
