May is National Strawberry Month so I wanted to use some common strawberry colors (pink, red, and green) as my color palette. Alcohol inks pack such a beautiful punch of color so I decided to share how I make my “signature” alcohol ink background.

‘m back with more inspiration to share for National Embroidery Month. Now, I am #teamsplatter all the way. I love adding ink splatter of all colors to my card projects and the artsy, mixed media look it gives. But because I am encouraging you to try new things, I decided to as well! Instead of using white acrylic paint for splatters, I used white, metallic DMC thread. It is super simple.
