Firday Feature Watercolor Card #2

I'm back with another Friday Feature for you.  Today is Watercolor #2, using Gelatos!

An online friend just loves her Gelatos (**waving at Shelly :) so I just had to try them of course lol.  And since we all know I have 'Full Set Syndrome', I couldn't just buy one or two lol.  I bought every single package I could find, but don't worry, I used a great coupon from Michaels lol.

I created this card by first stamping the Tree Poem stamp from Stampendous and heat embossed it with black embossing powder from Recollections (Michaels is my friend lol).  Then I colored the background with some green and yellow Gelatos and spritzed it with water.  After it was dry, I added the sentiment strip with some brads.  The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz "Saying Stuff" stamp set.

I think this makes a great man's card, and those are cards I always find myself short of.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing my creations, next Friday will be watercolor card #3, using my favorite Kuretake watercolors ;)  See you soon!

Many Thanks with Sweet Stamps

Hello everyone, I am here with some Sweet Stamps inspiration for you this week.  I have created two variations of the same card, using some molding paste, Gelatos, ribbon and some fun Sweet Stamp products which I have linked below :)

I made the one on the right first, using the Splish Splash stencil, the French Script Artsy Fartsy stamp, and a sentiment from the Framed Handwritten Words stamp set.  These were fun cards to make, and I had a great time playing with the molding paste and Gelatos!  The only difference between the two cards, aside from the ribbon, is that I colored the white cardstock with gelato before I stamped on with the card on the left.  Otherwise, these cards were made the exact same way.

I have decided that my theme for this month will be mixed media, so stay tuned for some more messy colorful fun using Sweet Stamps products!

Come back soon, for more fun and inspiration with Sweet Stamps!

My attempt at a Journal Page, and lessons learned

Hello everyone, I have been remiss in adding projects I do outside of my DT projects.  I have decided I need to post even the ones I make mistakes on, and that way I can learn from my mistakes, and hopefully you can too.

I have recently purchased some gelatos and wanted to make a journal page on black paper.  So I gave it a shot, but...lol...the card maker in me showed up unexpectedly and gave the journal page some matting, which really isn't what you want to do on the journal page...so it doesn't flow like it should.  This is my lesson learned for this project hahaha.  Otherwise, I like it, I like the way it turned out on the black with the metallic gelatos.  And the quote speaks to me in many ways, after the year my daughters and I have been through.  So it came from the heart.  And that's what counts in my book :)

Hope you enjoy :)
