    One of my ** fav's is either my spellbinder or cuttlebug followed by adding fun embellishments to cards or scrap-book pages. Thanks for the opportunity at your blog candy! !!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I LOVE the Easter card Erika!! It's so cute... I don't make Easter cards, because there's no young kids in my life at the moment.

    As for my favourite technique, that would be distressing right now.. I finally learned how to do it, and I can make it look good!! So I have been using that technique a LOT, especially with my vintage stamps.

    My favourite tool is my cutter. I use it to cut all my papers, and I often use it for square and rectangular layering as well. I can't cut with scissors straight to save my life, so the cutter is indispensable to me.

  64. Beautiful techniques! Love the resist one. I've done it before, but it's been a long time. I've been on a stamping/scrapping hiatus for a few years I guess. Getting back into it now and it feels so good! I don't have a favorite technique, but I can't seem to get away from my paints.

  70. Right now my favorite technique is dry embossing and my favorite tool is the Cuttlebug embossing folder. However, I LOVE the 'grunge' flower you showed on your blog and I think I'm going to have to try that! I'm not familiar with the Pumpkin Shimmerz--is it a paint or an ink? thanks for a great blog.

  71. I love all of your creations! I love fairies too!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. My favorite technique at this time is prismacolor pencils and gamsol and my favorite tool is my cuttlebug I just love that thing.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I keep going back to my very favorite of all times-technique which is EP embossing and my heat gun will have to be the tool of choice. I've tried nearly every technique introduced to me, but that amazement of the embossing powder being heated on cardstock still amazes me every time I use it. Oh, I love your card(s) and that fairy is scrumptious! neldamc
