World Of Michael Trent

Today's tutorial is very easy to do.  And it really works best with a large image or background stamp with lots of detail.   My apologies for using an image that I believe is retired.  But I really love this image and have wanted to make this card for a long time.   Supplies Used: Holiday Pear Collage by Rubber Stampede  Spellbinders Card Creator Dies - A2 MATTING BASICS A Spellbinders Card Creator Dies - A2 MATTING BASICS B Grand Calibur Machine by Spellbinders Red Cardstock White Cardstock for stamped images (I used X-Press Blending Sheets ) White Cardstock for card base - 8 1/4" x 5 3/8" folded in half Black Ink Pad - I used a Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad but you can use Ranger Black Archival or Memento Tuxedo Black also.   Wink of Stella Glitter Markers in Light Green , Green , and Gold Tombow Red Marker No. 885 Viva Decor Ruby Glitter Liner Double Sided Tape Step by Step: 1.  Stamp your image 3 times...

Ok, I'll admit it...say it out loud...for the whole world to know....[taking big gulp here] -  I AM A PENOPHILE .  No, not what you are thinking Barbara Briskin - it means that I love pens and markers.  Yes, it's a real word.  Trust me.  You can Google it.  I love any pen that writes with a fine tip, has bright colors, or colors well.  I own a good amount of Copics and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and a very good supply of Tombow markers, which are water based markers.  Now I get to add Wink of Stella markers to my collection.  These markers have glitter in them.  How I missed these new pens at CHA in January is a mystery to me.  But, thanks to my good friend Barbara at The Ink Pad in NYC, she saw them and ordered them for the store.  When they got them in and I tried one, I was hooked, and ended up buying all the colors they had. And now I have the pleasure of passing this on to you guys. These new pens are mad...
