STILL Dotty For You!

I'm still having so much fun playing with the Close To My Heart National Scrapbook kit Dotty For You!  Just look what I got to make this week!





The Home is in the Heart plaque is mounted on stiff chipboard.  I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the hearts and Jubilee for the font.  The little houses are Maya Road.  The ribbon holder is CTMH Color Ready ribbon that was inked with Tulip, Smoothie, and Lagoon.  And, of course, the paper is CTMH Dotty For You!

The Recipe holder was sooo much fun to make!  I'm actually using it for my sketches not recipes (I mean...who wants to cook when theres crafting to do)!  I used CTMH Vanilla Cream pigment ink to ink the showing edges.  Once again, Jubilee was used for the font.  The CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge was used for the flowers.  The rhinestone swirl, color ready wooden butterfly, Pearl Opaques, and Sparkle are all CTMH.  I'm telling you...we have it all!

What do you think?

Ohhhhh! Ahhhhh!

I am finally trying Close To My Heart's pigment based inks....and wow! I goes on so smooth and works awesomely with the chipboard. It works better than paint since it doesn't soak into the material. It did take about 12 hours to completely dry and feel normal to the touch but I could start working with my piece after about five minutes. I love this stuff! I started with vanilla cream but now I think I need more colors!
