BABY WIPES & CHALKS

There isn't  much that could be simpler than this technoque. Pick up some chalk on a baby wipe and rub it onto card stock. Let dry and then treat it as any design paper. This one has been stamped with Stazon ink, using Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.

Ten stampers did this technique last night and we had ten different but very nice results. You ROCK Stamp Club Ladies!

SIMPLE WITH A SPRITZ

Smooch Spritz is fun stuff and WOW is the colour ever intense. This card has Log Cabin sprayed on, very lightly, yet it covers well.

This is sort of another CASE as I loosely copied a card from a Stampin' Up! magazine. Casing works for me when I want to make a card, but I don't want to design it. Or I like it so much, I want one of my own. Am I the only one that has times like that? I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Hostess Club is tonight and we'll be doing a baby wipes and chalking technique. I'll show that tomorrow.

I appreciate your visit and hope you have an amazing day!

HELLO BABY

I love this card.

I totally cased (copy and share everything) it and I have no idea where I saw it. I made this card back in June so it's impossible to know where I'd been blurfing. If I ever find it again, I'll come back and give proper credit. If you see it anywhere online, please let me know.

Have a great and wonderful day!

TWO FOR ONE!

Here you go- two cards in one entry today. Both cards began with the same technique for the base. We swiped a couple colours of distress ink onto a craft mat, sprinkled on some Pearl-ex (one with gold, one with copper) and gave it a spritz of water. Then, we laid our cardstock over it, picking up the colour. Once dry, we stamped and coloured our images. Then, it all was covered with Versamark and clear embossed.

The bottom card had a couple layers of UTEE added to it and we did a cracked glass technique. You can really see the shimmer of the copper Pearl-ex on this one.

Remember to click on the photos for a closer look.

Another great play date with Kate.

Have a great weekend- hope you get to play!

REALLY....JUST FOR YOU

Just playing with colour.

Smooshed some re-inker onto white craft ink that was on the back of a acetate. Clear embossed the whole surface. That should be the finished piece. However, when I went to use it, the embossing seperated from the acetate and the ink was still wet. What?

So, I took the acetate piece and laid it onto white card stock. Punched flower centers and attached the pieces with brads.

This time, the "fix" was quick and easy but I have had a few failures lately where the "fix" seemed to take forever and was really still a failure.  :(

Please tell me those are growth moments.

SPRITZ & BITS

A few days ago I decided to spritz some colour onto some white paper flowers that I have. So I made a bit of spritz using melon mambo re-inker. Sprayed that all over the flowers I had laid out on some white card stock. Once dried, I removed them and then sprayed log cabin (dark brown) Smooch Spritz here and there on the same white card stock. Very sparingly as this is very dark spray. Once that dried, I die cut and punched the card stock.  The petals on this flower were the scraps from the lattice die. The other pieces were punched. River rock card stock supports it all nicely.

So, there you have it- Spritz & Bits!  FUN!

Hope you have fun today!

MORE 'OURS'

A few days ago, I brought this scrapbook page upstairs and put it on display on my mantle. My thoughts at the time were.."it's okay but..." and I hoped by leaving it alone I could see it again fresh and 'finish' it.

Enter my DH- he has a look and right off says "It needs something at the top. There's too much blank space".

This from the man who tells anyone who listens that he hasn't any creativity.

uh-huh...

Anyway, I totally agreed with him and just had to figure out what the 'something' was.

Better?

We think so. I love his input- it makes the scrapbook more 'ours'.

Hope you are having a terrific long weekend.
