Be Bold
I got a chance to sit down and play with the new Spectrum Aqua markers - and all I can say is wow! These are so much fun and so easy to use. I stamped my image with VersaMark and heat embossed with gold powder. A few swipes of the pens and a little brush and water and my image was done. These are going to stay out on my craft table all of the time - because I know I will be reaching for them constantly.

Discover Your Passion
It turned out to be a day of experimenting with colors and mists ( and yes, I still have the proof on my fingertips!)
Challenges:
IndigoBlu stamps used: Bloomin' Great; Crackleglaze Background; Discover Your Passion
Inspiration Photo + Ombre Effect
I was inspired by the colors and the layered swirls - I created the ombre on my background - and turned it sideways so the darkest color was to the left and it gradually lightened.
