MFT - Thanks a Latte Card

Hey Everyone! Good day to all of you! I want to do something different with my blog this year! I'm not sure what I want to change. Because it's a new year, I should jazz up my blog. What should I add? I'm thinking of adding more tutorials. How about "stampin' tips"? Or maybe, something like "favorite blogs of the day" or something like that. I'll come up with something. . .I gotta think of what I want to do.


One of my resolutions is to take more "life" pictures so I think several times a week, I'll post a picture I took and talk about it a little. What do you think? You're like "sure, Maria. . .it's your blog". LOL!! It's funny because when I ask questions like this, I get a lot of comments like "do what you want. . .it's your blog". Actually, your opinion counts so if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!!

I made this card today. It was actually a quicky card because I already colored the image moons ago! Seriously! I colored this image when I was into coloring with my Prisma color pencils with Gamsol. Gosh, I haven't colored with the pencils for such a long time.

Anyway. . .because I had colored the image with the pencils, I had stamped the image with regular dye ink. I decided to go over the "white" area and color the background with my Copic Markers. Well, it smeared the black ink so the sentiment had a fuzzy black smear. I was like "accckkkkk!".

I wasn't in the mood to look for the stamp so I went over the sentiment and colored it blue to "camouflage" the black smear. I think it helped a little. So, that is the reason why the sentiment has a blue shading. LOL!

You probably think everything I do on my card are intentional. . .but nope, many times, certain "features" of the card are actually "fixes". I usually point it out. For those who mess up on their cards. . .don't throw the card away immediately. Find a way to fix it and sometimes the results work out for the best. I've discovered "techniques" from my many mistakes! Yup!

I really like the DP on this card. Actually it was the only DP I had that matched the colors of my image and I wasn't thrilled initially but now that I look at it, I actually love the paper's design.

Paper: K&Co, SU Cameo Caramel, Cool Caribbean, Chocolate Chip Ink: Prismacolor Pencils with Gamsol, Copic Markers

Photo of the Day

If you've been following my blog, you'll know that my family from Hawaii visited us for the holidays. On Sunday, we visited Sea World in San Diego and I took a picture of my daughter (center) with her cousins. My daughter haven't seen her cousins for over 3 years. The kids are growing up so quickly. We had a great time at Sea World. It wasn't crowded so it was really nice and it was a nice sunny day. My family left yesterday and I hope we'll be able to visit them in Hawaii this summer.

Hope you all have a fabulous day!!
