Let's Go Wild On a Night Safari!
The critters were easy to color with my Ws for the elephant, Ys for the giraffe and OR/Cs for the bird. The Jeep was the hardest for me to color but I settled on this combo. I used my OLO Markers, then cut out the headlights and window for some fun detail with vellum headlight covers and acetate for the windshield.
I blended the beautiful safari sunset with Distress Oxides and then sealed it with the Distress Glaze (rub on with paper towel and smooth off excess) to hold that bright color. I always seal my oxide blends that I want to keep bright otherwise over time the color will go chalky since it is water reactive with the moisture in the air.
Next up is getting all of this together as a completed light up card! Head on over to my blog today for the companion post! I even have a fun assembly video to see how easy it is to make this jeep wobble and headlights on just in time for sunset!

Dachshunds having fun
Hello lovelies,
another week has passed and I may show you another card of mine.
I am an absolute fan of dogs ...... For me, dogs are the better people. ;o) And so I decided to use the "Dachshunds" set for today's card. I just love the postage style and can't stop making these kinds of cards. I hope you don't get tired of it. :o)
I covered the images with masking tape, so I wiped the background with stencils and Distress Oxides in the colors broken china, bundle sage and rustic wilderness.
The images was colored with these Copics:
Dachshund: E37, E35, E33, E31, E30
Balloon: R29, R27, R08
Collars: R29, R27, BG49, BG15, YG25, YG01
Flower: YR04, Y17, N1
Tennis ball: Y25, Y01, Y17
Some accents are set with white gel pen Gelly Roll 10 from Sakura.
