Enjoyed starting this card! Looking forward to what my partners will add!
Month: March 2017
Handmade card: dots
One from my drawer of handmade cards…made with a gelli print. For some reason I hardly ever tend to pick yellow and/or red in my crafts… My swap partner likes Spring and I think this matches the theme.
Weekly card #12
Swap: Themed ATC April
This month requires diamond and daisy… I stamped the daisies on a light blue background and colored them with acrylic paint. On a piece of transfer paper I stamped the words and little gem. Stitched it on with glitter thread and added a little bit of glitter to the gem also. Turned out neat, if I may say so myself…
Lifebook week #7
Fun lesson by Donna Mulholland! Love how the colors turned out.
Weekly card #11
So enjoying working with Andrea Gomoll’s stamp sets!
Swap: add a butterfly
Create a piece of mail art with a butterfly… I first had a different idea and wanted to make a mixed media postcard. But this butterfly stamp caught my eye and I remembered the technique I have used before on ATC’s… so I went for that and dres the butterfly. Enjoyed working on this!
Swap: collaged ATC
My partner likes rain, stars and elephants so I gathered some pieces and made her this…hope she will like it.
Handmade cards
Every couple of months two of my sisters and I plan a creative day… we pick a technique and spend a day playing together… so did we today… We always send each other a handmade card with something we have created. Today we worked with our gelli plates. The idea was to print package tape but we ended up doing so much more. I ended up using the tiny rectangle gelli plate. So fun to create such tiny pieces of art! I decided to make my card with two of those pieces and this is the result. On the picture you see the top of the envelope above the card.
New stamps…try out
Bought a few sets of the talented Andrea Gomoll stamps and found a moment to try one today.. Stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Zig clean color brush markers…
