Quick Zig Color Pen cards

Good Morning Card makers!

After a much need break from work and life, that included an amazing trip to Korea, I am back in the game and full of inspiration  from all my travel.

Upon arrival home, I was in need of 6 cards almost right away, so to maximize my time, I used one of my favourite stamp sets "Hello Lovely" from Concord & 9th for all of them, but just changed them up a bit as I went.

I stamped each one with Versamark onto watercolour paper, then heat set with clear embossing powder. Then the fun began.....colouring!! While in Korea, I picked up more Zig Clean Color pens as they were so inexpensive there.....as in 80 cents each inexpensive!!  I coloured each one differently, yet brightly. I know some may find my choice of bright flowers on a sympathy card odd, but I have never been a believer that everything to do with funerals and death need to be black, calm or sedate, and that was only reaffirmed in Korea when we saw a funeral procession and all the flowers where white or vivid pink or yellow. They celebrate the happy that once was, not the darkness you already feel with their passing. Anyhow, you can see bright ruled here, no mater what the sentiment it was reflecting.

As for sentiments, they are both from Gina K designs. The 'Thank You' is from the Bold & Blooming Set and the 'Sympathy from the Sentimental Calla Lily set. Both fairly new releases, that I absolutely adore and use often.

Once done all that, I felt they needed a little something more, so I mixed a touch of the grey and black Zigs together with more water and splashed it on with a paint brush, some cards richer in depth than others. Each finished off with complimentary nuvo drops.

Once they were dry, I mounted onto 6" x 6" card bases and personalized the insides and envelopes.

So far now, a few more cards are caught up personally, but several orders await my attention, but I will focus the next few days on getting sleep, hanging out with our son who we were away from, and the mountain of laundry that is piling up!

Remember...be creative, think of others and kindness always matters.
