GUEST DESIGNER
Please welcome our guest designer this week – Dena. A little bit about Dena:
1.When did you start crafting and what made you start? I have been a crafter all my life. My Grandma would do all sorts of crafty activities with me when I was a child and it just stuck. I love all things crafty!
2.What’s your favourite colouring medium? Distress Inks are my favorite coloring medium. They are so easy to work with and mix to get amazing colors.
3. Where do you craft? I have a study desk in my front room. I am not one to lock myself away from the rest of the family. I enjoy being in the middle of everything! My desk stays quite clean since it is the first thing you see when you walk through my front door.
4.What is your favourite MIC image/s? Oh I love the scenes! They are so fun to use in a mix and match fashion.
5.Do you have a favourite type/style of card that you like to make? I tend to use bold and bright colors. I like “happy” cards.
Here’s Dena’s fabulous card for this week’s challenge.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Marianne Walker has a great post about blending reds with Copics. In honor of our guest designer, I went searching for a tutorial on getting started with Distress Inks. I found this one that includes some tips on using reds.
