Hello all of you wonderful Scarlet Lime gals and guys! I am so excited to launching this new blog for you all! Bare with us as we start out february in the middle of CHA. Most of us (including me.) are attending the CHA show in Los Angeles.. so these next two weeks maybe be a little scattered.. but hopefully by the end of the month you will have plenty of inspiration and giveaways and tutorials.. you won't know what to do with! lol
Before we get started.. you may have noticed the Scarlet Lime Badge at the right! Make sure to grab that code and put it on your blogs or websites! We are going to have a giveaway soon that will involve it! Yipee! It looks like this...
and speaking of Tutorials, I thought I would start off with our very first tutorial. This was in our recent newsletter, but I thought it would be fun to put it here on the blog too, to archive it for you for future use!
If you haven't seen it yet, this is a REALLY fun mixed media piece using the January Frugal Fab kit! SEROUS LY.. you think our kits are only for Papercrafting? no way.. we are launching into the fun world of mixed media as well and will be showing you every month tutorials on how to create mixed media with your kits! Plus we will be offering mixed media kits as well!
Hope you enjoy this first one!
It's called;
Love is in the Air
This Tutorial was too long to do in one video.. so I created two!
Here is Part one:
and Here is Part TWO!
have a wonderful week!
Christy

I just found you thanks to Northridge Publishing. OM"gosh" I love love love your art. This is what i have been waiting for. I have been thru layouts, cards, some altered art and love it all (of course I am obsessed) but have canvas here and not sure what to do with them. You see I was not born with any artistic qualities in my hands or brains!!! I think i might be able to do this with your help. going right now to buy paint, etc. thank you thank you sue

I'm not quite sure how I got the email with your links, but I love your work... and I can't wait to try some of these techniques. I have 2 questions though.. you mentioned to you took a class online... What class is that? do you have a link? And you mentioned that the pen you used didn't get stopped up!!! And I NEED a pen like that - can you tell me again the kind of pen it is?
THANKS! Your newest fan,
Paula
