Marthas fault

I told you I was gonna scrap...and I did.I made a card with a digital stamp from my friend Nina. She has started a blog where she gives out digital images for FREE! Today was the first day and I believe she will do this nice gesture every Monday. She also posts a challenge with the stamp.

Hurry over to http://theresmagicintheair.blogspot.com and get Nina's first image called "Orson with cake".

I'm not a big stamper and today was actually the VERY first time I colored a stamped image...and it was not easy!

I started with my Martha Stewart markers, but did not like the result and ended up using cheap colored pencils instead. I'm not totally pleased with the result with them either, but what else was I gonna use?


When you see it close up like this, you can see how uneven it looks...drives my nuts!But I really wanted to join Nina's challenge...so oh well...



All you stampers and card makers join the fun over at

Not bad for a first time! Maybe you should try a blending pen when you color with markers and a water brush when you color with watercolor pencils.
