Custom Flower Soft

An idea hit me today. I haven't seen this before, but surely someone else has tried this too. I picked up some Ivory Flower Soft today. I would love to get more colors, but the price adds up so quickly. Then it occured to me to try to custom color it. Guess what? It works! I put some of the Ivory in a small container with a few drops of different alcohol based ink refills. I used Copic ink, Papertrey Pallette ink, and Tim Holtz Alcohol ink. All if them had nice coverage. And now I have colors that match my projects! Here's a photo:

Bag Challenge

When I read about Nichole's challenge, I knew right away what I wanted to make. I decided to keep it simple, in a paper grocery bag style. But I don't usually sew. So that in itself was a challenge!
I cut white muslin using my rectangle scalloped Nestibilites. I lined up all the quilt squares on one block and stamped them using Noir Pallette ink. I added color in the square using my Copics in a spring color scheme. I also went over white ribbon with my pink Copic to make it match. Here's my finished mini bag. It's about big enough to hold a bar of soap. Thanks for looking!
