I took the plunge!

Yeah. I finally took the plunge! I FINALLY bought a Thomas Kinkade image! Can you believe I've been with CHF since January and am just now inking one of these up?!? OK. I admit it. I was scared. But... I've learned through looking at the other girls' projects that these TK images are so great because you can stamp them quickly (and make a monochromatic card) or spend the extra time to add just the right color (and mimic the amazing paintings that these images were designed from). I thought I'd try this spotlight technique and dabble a bit in both.

This week's CHF Challenge Chick's theme was to use Krylon pens. Have you ever used these before? I am falling in love with these pens because they turn everything I touch into GOLD! (or silver, copper, etc.) :) They look just like a marker but have remarkable coverage and dry really quickly. And... these pens are on sale right now on the farm! But... make sure you save me a Copper pen! I've GOT to have one of those! :)

I colored the outside edge of my main TK image with my Gold Krylon pen. After I die cut my "spotlight" area with my oval Nestabilities die, I outlined the embossed edge too. My jumbo eyelet was silver and I quickly changed the metal to gold with the same pen.

So... are you intrigued about these new Krylon leafing pens??? Click on the CHF Design Team links on my sidebar to see what the other girls are up to! You'll be glad you did! :)
