Hello hello!

Welcome back snarky peeps! It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, it's all about Gel Printing!

I searched through some prints I made over the years and

decided to use this blue one for a masculine birthday card:

and the inside. Forgive my hand modeling, the card didn't

want to stay flat.

Gotta love a great snarky sentiment!  LOL! I stamped the balloons

twice, once onto gray card stock, then again on a scrap of this

funky gray DP that had a nested squares design on it. By angling how

I stamped the balloon image I was able to get a different design on each balloon.

I just fussy cut the bunch and glued it onto the gray card. Cool beans!

I hope that you'll join Edna, my sisters, and our reigning Queen,

Fran, in our Gel Printing challenge! I look forward to seeing

your projects linked up at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #178 - N is for No

 

 

 Hello and welcome snarky peeps! The new challenge has

started at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

N is for NO! 

I'm not going to lie, this one had me stumped for a while.

But then I flipped through a Tim Holtz snarky stickers pack,

and found something to build my art journal page around:

 

 

 

 I love how the one lady looks taken aback by what

the other lady says to her! LOL!

 

Lots of paint, stencils and  masks were used. Grab your

favorite beverage of choice. Here come the process pics:

SHOPPING OUR STASH #429 - Make A Mess

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

This fortnight at SHOPPING OUR STASH,

we want you to get messy!

Think glitter, powder inks, paint, etc.

I broke out my sadly neglected gel press, some paints and

stencils and made some prints. I quartered one of them to

create four cards!

Here are some close ups:

Getting technique-y with stencils

Hi there crafty friends.

I want to share a card I made using a stencil and embossing powder.

I think this was the first time trying it out, and I really

like the looks of it. Here, check it out:

Oh look, shiny!

I taped around the area closest to where I was using the stencil then went to town

sponging Versamark glue into the stencil, then heat embossing in copper. Continued

the copper vibe and used matching ink for the sentiment and some rediscovered

copper glitter paper in my stash. Score!

Very CAS, for me. (You know I love my layers!)

That's it for this post. More to come, as I had some fun with this technique.

Thanks for visiting. Have a relaxing evening!
