My Bionic Arm, a Card & Some Crafty News!!!!

Hey!  Sorry this post is up a little late today, but I feel happy to be posting at all really.  In terms of my arm breakage, a little update is that I am doing well and healing.  The pins in my arm come out in three weeks and then onto PT.  I'd share pics here...but there are a little graphic and I've grossed a few folks out already so will refrain.  If you really want to see them you can comment and I can send you a pic. So today I am feeling quite grateful that I am able to craft.  Now had that not been a possibility, I'd likely be a miserable human being, but luckily it isn't that way.  The human body is an amazing thing!

So, now that we have that out of the way, let's get to the card, that I had so much fun making!  I love the bold colors coupled with the black and white chalkboard DP, it is just happy!  And I used some brand new products on this card when making it, some Faber Castell Gelatos Colors, Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils, AND some Paper Crafter's Crayons.  WOW, they were all fabulous and all a little different to use.  I'll be doing a tutorial later this month on the difference, so be sure to come back for that. I coupled that with some Lawn Fawn products from the Blissful Botanicals line and used the corresponding die set.  I also used Quinn's ABCs, again both the stamps and dies.  For this part I stamped on black with Versamark and embossed in white.  I love the outcome!

So, you may be wondering why I'm using so many Faber Castell products and that is because I am a Guest Designer for the summer.  I am so excited to use these fab products.  You know I love coloring, so this is right up my alley.  However, this...gulp...(confession time) is the first time I've used Gelatos.  Don't judge, it is true but I always hold out a little longer than others to be sure any hype is for real.  Well I can tell you that it is!!!!  I love the smooth colors of this amazing product.  So anyway, stay tuned for several tutorials from me. :)
