This weekend I had so much fun making these cards for a few of my dear friends!  I used my new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers and they were amazing to work with.  I never had the chance to own Copic Markers before but had seen many beautiful images colored with them.  My new ShinHan markers are similar to Copics and I now understand all the excitement!  ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers are available through CTMH on Aug. 1st, 2014!  As a CTMH independent consultant, I was able to get the entire set of the new markers! 

You are invited to come to my Open House on Wed. July 30, 2014.  This Open House is a chance to get a sneak peek at the new Annual Inspirations (idea book) and play with these amazing markers. 

Let me know if you need any more info!

Welcome back to the Hearts of the West team blog hop July edition! If this is your first time joining us you will love it. It features Close to my Heart consultants from the Hearts of the West and team members from all over Canada and is founded by Nancy Klein. This month's challenge is a celebration of our beloved Country's Birthday!
A fun little fact...Canada is turning 147 years old. This month our challenge is using red and white.

This month is a challenge for sure, we are able to use the basic color pallet for accent colors. Grab your coffee, sit down and join us on a journey of creative paper crafts from the Heart!
If you came from Julie Kerr's Blog You're in the right place, this is a go around blog so you can start anywhere you'd like. The full list is at the end in case.


This month I decided to create a card using the color challenge:

I created the  card base from White Daisy cardstock.  I used the Free to be Me paper pack for the B&T paper and the red cardstock.  I stamped only with Ruby ink.  The sentiment is colored using the cranberry, holiday red and citrus leaf water color pencils.  Everything else used is pictured below.

Your next creative stop is Linda Pekrul"s Blog
