Love you Heidi 🙂 I HAVE TWO MORE EXCITING THINGS TO SHARE ….. just FOR YOU!! That means all Copic brand products are on sale 25% off now until 9/14/12.

Love your cards and the spray technque you used. It gives color with a soft look, which is what I love. Can’t wait to try one of my own. Thank you so much for sharing with us again.
Amazingly effective with the Mini Mister application highlighted by using the same colour marker next to the image. Love the idea of the wobbly head too. Your sentiment with that toaster is priceless!

Wonderful cards and great background technique on the SSS blog. I subscribed to your feed on Yahoo!
Kathy, I’m a follower but don’t have a blog, facebook page or twitter account to sing your praises on. I know I’m the only one on Earth to truthfully say what I just said.(chuckle). I told SSS that my fav was the “Hello” card but I liked the “Let it Snow” second best. The technique was very effective.Your artistry amazes me, Girl. Thanks for the tremendous prize pack.
These are amazing Kathy. I haven’t tried this technique before but plan to!
Great post! I commented on SSS, subscribed to your feed and shared on FB. 😉
Hi Kathy, I really enjoyed the SSS tutorial! Your explanations are so clear, and I really appreciate the way you suggest re-using some of the materials. The results are always, always beautiful, creative, and, in short, ART. I am proud of my collection!
