I've added a lot of products to my sale pages, so you might want to check them out.
Happy Day--I have a new laptop! So far no big problems, although I have a bit more set up to do.
I have been making cards, so here they are.
First is an entry for the Altenew Monthly Inspiration Challenge. Finally opened the beautiful Flower Vine set. I gold embossed an image & colored it with Zigs--mixing a purple & red to get close to the color in the photo.
I was making a one layer card, but didn't like the tiny sentiment I stamped. Decided to save my colored image by using the coordinating die to cut it out, even though I had stamped off the edge.
I die cut a second one from the ruined card, glued the 2 together & trimmed them to fit the corner just like I had originally stamped. Actually, I like it better with a bit of dimension. The flower centers have Champagne Stickles for some sparkle. I gold embossed the sentiment from Painted Greetings & added splatters with Distress Stain tarnished brass. This is for my cousin's 50th wedding anniversary. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground & SSS Monday.
Next is my Eclipse card for the ModSquad challenge. I finally opened my Hero Arts liquid Metallic inks.
I added a drop of each ink, one at a time, on a wc panel, spritzed with very little water & used an airbrush tool to move the ink. The shimmery inks are really beautiful in person.
W&W In a Word: Hello was die cut from the panel & from black fun foam to make an eclipse card. The little word is made with Tim Holtz alpha stickers. I think this would work for a guy or a gal. I'm also entering Inkspirational & SSS Wednesday.
I haven't had much time on the computer without a laptop, but I did watch Jennifer McGuire's video using the Wreath Builder template with stencils. It looked like something I could actually do, so pulled out an old MFT stencil & Distress Inks abandoned coral, twisted citron & pumice stone.
Gotta say, what a fun technique! I used a darker gray cardstock for the mat & MFT die cut letters which I stacked 4 high & covered with Nuvo Glaze & Pico Embellisher Shimmer.
Can't wait to try other stencils & colors. I'm entering MFT Color Challenge & WAW.
