Today I am sharing Across the Miles Stamp and Travel Mixed Media Stamp Set.
Earth Tone Copic Markers worked really well with this sweet little 1950's image.
The denim blue tones work well that rich NAVY Glitter.
Old Paper Distress Ink helped define the edges of both the Across the Miles Stamp and the Travel Mixed Media Stamp.

If you are new to blending colors with Copic Markers, Sparkle N Sprinkle has some Basic Copic Marker tips on the Tips and Techniques Page. There are technique tutorials for all the fine SNS products.
The following flat card uses the Sparkle N Sprinkle Watercoloring on Velvet Glitter technique. I wish the sparkle on this card would show up on the photograph!
The Spot Light technique was used on this card. Both the plain image, and the round panel contain the Cloud Nine Velvet (microfine) Glitter
I pulled the color off Lyra Watercolor Crayons with a Dove Blender Pen, and painted directly on the glitter.

Both of these are adorable. Love it combined with the map and how cool to do the spotlighting technique on the glitter.
Such cute cards! Your coloring is great and I love the spotlight technique on the second one. Great job!
These are great cards. Love that little boy checking the box! So sweet! And I love cloud nine microfine glitter! :)
How gorgeous- love the glimmer and the glimmer spotlight- ohhhh la la! The Navy glitter is Gorgeous- love the way you used it to outline the map and the shimmering image!
Donna both cards are very lovely! Across the miles and travel mixed media stamp sets work absolutely great together - love it! I love the cloud nine glitter and the spotlight technique on the second card. Very creative De :-)
Hugs, Steff
Great use of the little boy getting the mail in two different versions. the first is colored so nicely. Love the map as part of the background. The second - highlighted with only partial coloring is great too.
Such a fabulous image and two great cards as a result. Love the technique of the second one, unusual and so effective!! xx
Watercoloring on glitter??..Something very interesting and I loved the results !Wonderful cards !
Great masculine cards Donna and beautifully put together.
Hope you are as well as can be.

Fantastic cards. I love the adorable across the miles boy. I love the effect of the colouring over the glitter it looks amazing.
Such fun and different looks using the same image! Love the spotlighting look on the second, but my favorite thing is the way you used the map as the background in the first - just fabulous!
Beautiful designs again Donna, you must spend so much time with the fabulous glitter in a lot of the layers and die cuts. The colours are fantastic as well. I love the map image. I hope you are doing well, take good care, Shirley xx
Super creations, Donna. You do such wonderful cards with the glitter. Nice, new images coming out and you're just the one to make perfect cards to show them off.
Nice corners. Desire has some wonderful tutorials, doesn't she?
Have a fine day.
I just love, love, love that map stamp. Love what you have done Donna!
I just love your creations! The first is my favorite, with the map. So pretty. I love this set and what you did with it!
These are both fabulous, I love your image and map background - such a good idea.
The sparkle on the second card looks wonderful as does the spotlight technique.
In answer to the question you left on my blog, the House-Mouse CD does have images for you to colour but the Gruffies and Happy Hoppers one doesn't, the image on the card that you commented on is a rubber stamp.

AWWWWHH! The little boy at the mailbox is adorable. Your card is wonderful........Lis
Super cute and beautifully created. Love them all.
Hi, Donna :-) Such a sweet image and two gorgeous cards! Love the colour scheme you used for both cards! I can't pick a favorite - they're both lovely!
Big hugs,
Kitty
Your cards are so cute! I love the color schemes that you used & the glitter!
Fun new release, Donna, and I love these cards!
Fabulous cards, Donna! That is such a cute stamp and I love the map in the fist and that amazing glitter technique in the second! So clever! xx
SUPER CUTE stamps and FUN cards!!!
LOVE the layers & designs of them BOTH. Perfect pairing of the Across the Miles Stamp & Travel Mixed Media stamps, LOVE the flourishes tucked in there too!!!
As for your 2nd card - WOW - LOVE the borders of dark blue glitter and your GORGEOUS Watercoloring on Velvet Glitter technique - DEFINITELY something I need to try.
THANK YOU for sharing your CREATIVE INSPIRATION and for sharing your tutorials too :)
Absolutely FABULOUS cards, Donna! I was already in love with the first one with your beautiful coloring and choice of country papers (the leafy flourishes are the PERFECT accents!), but the second one has me open mouthed with the awe of which your lovely creations inspire. I've always admired the painting on velvet technique, but combined with the spotlight technique, this card is STUNNING in its creativity, especially since you only colored the "spotlighted" portion. Genius! Thanks so much for sharing! I've been away from your blog far too long and look forward to catching up! Hugs!
Am swooning a little Donna - the new stamp sets are gorgeous!!! I especially love the bird with the birds nest, the silhouettes and the cute little mail box boy - fabulous stamps and your creation is absolutely stonkingly beautiful hun. Hope you are having a good or good'ish week Karen xx
Wow, DE, both cards are sensational. I really like the colors, die cuts, and the map on your first card and the second one is spectacular too! TFS the link on using the glitter before coloring too. Hope you are feeling better, DF!!
Great coloring on the first and fabulous technique on the second.

Donna, you always do the most amazing and imaginative things with your cards! I just love the shape of the map panel, as well as the darling image and all the sparkle. You wish the sparkle showed up a little better in the photo, but I do see some pretty fabulous sparkle. The navy glitter is outstanding! I would be agog at the sight of this in real life!
Love this card "Across the Miles". It is so wonderful. I just LOVE to receive mail. Send me some, girlfriend! Thanks for sharing!

Firstly, great cards Donna! I love the sparkly one and the way you did the spotlight. It's such a cute little image.
Secondly, I've been trying to contact you through email but I don't think they're going through. Could you please check your spam box in case my emails have gone in there?
Thanks Donna.
Cheers,
Beccy
