Happy Thanksgiving friends! I hope you all are having a safe and peaceful holiday. I wish I could honestly say that I am nothing but thankful for what I have today; but I waiver between being immensely thankful for what I am lucky enough to have and grieving for what we thought we’d have today. As we enter the holiday season I realize that the expectations I had in January for this year are just not to be. I know that others are grieving for a variety of reasons this year and I just want you to know that I see you and I am here for you. Sending you all gentle hugs today. ❤️❤️❤️

So recently someone has realized that the top of my desk chair is a comfy lounging spot...and I feel like there’s a little angel and devil conscience cat sitting on my shoulder silently critiquing my work... 😳🤣😂 ••• #craftingkitty #tuxedocatsofinstagram #tuxedocat

🎉🎉🎉 It’s taken longer than I would have liked but I’m finally sharing a video with my top twenty ink blending tips and tricks for beginners (and several ways to fix a bad blend)! 😉 You can swipe here to see one of my early cards from 2015 that shows where my ink blending started 😳😂🤦🏻‍♀️ and believe me, it’s not pretty! But with years of practice and a few tricks my ink blending has gotten much smoother and steadier! I hope my video is helpful and I’d love to know if there are any more technique videos you’d like to see from me! ❤️❤️❤️ ••• And make sure you check out the big inky giveaway over on my video! 😉 ••• VIDEO LINK - https://youtu.be/ZaBw2C4fI-0 (clickable link in profile) ••• #thedailymarker30day #inkblending #distressoxideinks #distressoxide #timholtz #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #papercrafting #papercrafts #cardinspiration #cardideas #cardmakingideas #allthesparklejfb

I can’t believe it’s already the final day of #thedailymarker30day coloring challenge with @kathyrac! 😢 I’ve had so much fun ink-blending these last 11 days and I’m so thankful to all of you for your sweet comments, likes, and saves! ❤️❤️❤️ I had some 4x6 photo protector pages so I decided to finish the challenge with a couple blended rainbows! 🌈❤️🌈 As I’ve mentioned earlier, I have a big YouTube video coming tomorrow morning with TWENTY of my top ink-blending tips and tricks and I really hope you’ll check it out! You’ll also get to see one of my very first ink-blended cards way back from 2015... 😳 ••• Anyway, I decided to give two color options today...a more pastel rainbow and then a jewel-toned version. So my last question for this challenge...which one do you prefer? 😉 ••• I’ve had a few people ask about how to find these blends easily in the future. IG is still hiding hashtags but eventually you’ll be able to find all of them under the hashtag #allthesparkleblends! 😉 And you can also save them for easy access by tapping the little bookmark below the photo! ••• Subscribe to my YouTube channel here: https://www.allthesparkle.com/subscribe (clickable link in profile) ••• #inkblending #distressoxide #distressoxideinks #timholtz #swatches #colorpalette #papercrafting #papercrafts #thedailymarker11day #distressink

Well, based on the results of the color survey I asked last week, today is not going to be a popular blend day. 😳😂🤣 Brown was overwhelmingly the color everyone uses least. BUT I’m hoping you’ll give some of these blends a closer look! For day 10 of #thedailymarker30day coloring challenge with @kathyrac I’m focusing on browns and greys! 🤎🤍🖤 And I was pleasantly surprised at how they blended with other colors and I think I’ll have to do a little more experimentation to see what else I can come up with! 😉 Today I think the top right is my favorite. Tattered rose with a grey and a brown?! Who would have thunk it?! ••• Also I’ve had a few people ask about how to find these blends easily in the future. I do have a huge video coming this weekend with my top blending tips and tricks (and combos!) but until then you can find these under the hashtag #allthesparkleblends! 😉 ••• My favorite blending foams from @scrapbookcom are on sale!! - https://shrsl.com/2mho6 (clickable link in profile) ••• #inkblending #distressoxide #distressoxideinks #timholtz #swatches #colorpalette #papercrafting #papercrafts #thedailymarker11day #distressink

🌺❤️🌺 Today is the release of the Happy Hibiscus bundle from @tonicstudios and it is an AMAZING set!! You’ll notice that I don’t often color flowers for cards and I’ve been told before that I should “stick to critters” but I absolutely LOVED this design when I saw it and I really wanted to push myself to try and bring it to life! It may have taken me six hours and half my copic collection 😂 but I’m really happy with how it turned out! ❤️❤️❤️ The bundle features a huge 6x8 set with coordinating and stand-alone stitched shape and sentiment dies and is a real bargain at $34.99! Head to my blog for more details and hop along with us for a chance to win the new release and a $50 gift card to #tonicstudios!!! ••• LINK - https://shrsl.com/2moky (clickable link in profile, affiliate link used) ••• #tonicstudiosusa @tonicstudiosusa #tonicstudiosstampclub #thedailymarker30day #copicwithus #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #papercrafting #papercrafts #diycards #handmadecards #cardinspiration #cardideas #cardmakingideas #allthesparklejfb

It’s day 9 of #thedailymarker30day coloring challenge with @kathyrac ...and I’m just squeaking in with a little ink-blending after I spent six hours coloring a single card today (well, alternating coloring for 10 minutes and stretching my hand for 5 minutes the whole time 😂) but I’m excited to share it tomorrow! 😉 I think it was time well spent! Anyway, purple is a fun color to work with and I’m pretty sure I could do a whole week of nothing but purple blends since they vary so much. 💜💜💜 And the distress purples are fantastic and SO different! I think the top left might be my favorite blend today. For some odd reason it reminds me of early spring! What’s your favorite? ••• Also I’ve had a few people ask about how to find these blends easily in the future.
