SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #204 - Q is for Quirky

 Hello snarky peeps and welcome! It's time once again for the

new challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight it's Q for QUIRKY!

I created an art journal page for my project:

I decided to make a collage using bits of leftover gel prints, stamped

cardstock and book paper, and paper using Magenta Nuance powder dyes.

Once everything was dry, I randomly stamped more images, then 

added doodle marks with a black and a white pen.

Here are some process photos:

I set that aside and printed out the sentiment and the

main image, colored and fussy cut them. These were adhered with 

foam squares then I glued some sequins on the gal to use as earrings.

Glad that I put a small dent in the pile of backgrounds I've made

over the years. LOL! I hope that you'll join Edna and my Sisters

for our Quirky challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Need more ideas? Do check out what my teammies and our

reigning Queen, Beverly, have created to inspire you!

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a great day!

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.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

we'd like to see your predominately PINK projects.

Here's what I came up with:

and the inside:

The background paper was created with a gel press, a few different

pink acrylic paints, and some bubble wrap. Some die cut flowers, pearls and

a simple sentiment to finish. I did add some Star Dust Stickles to

the center of the daisy. No snark this time, none needed!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #192 - H is for Hormonal

 

Hello and welcome back snarky peeps!

We have a fun new challenge starting today at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

That's right, own those hot flashes like a boss and

get all HORMONAL!

I wanted to use colors that portrayed what it's like to get hot flashes,

 mood swings, and all the other not so fabulous changes our bodies go through

during menopause. Oranges and reds - all the wonderful hot, fiery colors!

I dug in my stash of gel prints and found this one to use:

 

 

 and made this:

That sentiment pretty much says it all. LOL!

I hope you can join us in our glorious hormonal rages this fortnight

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more funny ideas, do yourself

a favor and check out what my Sistahs and our current reigning Queen,

Tristan, have created for your viewing pleasure.
