CIP - Pretty in Fuchsia

Hi CIP followers!  I finally worked on a new page in my art journal.  I've used a Julie Nutting image to stamp up, clear emboss, and color with some pretty CI paints.  The shimmery CI paints that I've used are Fuchsia, Tickled Pink, Mocha Latte, Carmel, and Onyx.  I've also used the clear Deliquesce over black ink, a Plaid Stencil for the circles, and a Recollections background stamp for the script.  Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

CIP - Masculine Thinking of You

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I've stamped this sweet little guy, Yoichi (by Sister Stamps LLC) and used the Deliquesce Clear embossing powder to make sure that my water coloring stayed in place.  This is the first time that I've tried the Derwent Inktense pencils, and I just love that you can use them in layers. 

I've also used the Sky Blue paint from CIP to dye the seam binding that's been used for a bow, and added glitter with the Resplendence Angel Dust.  Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:
