Hello everyone. I know I'm a couple days late, but I hope everyone had a good weekend. I finally had a weekend doing what I want. Saturday was spent driving to the city to bring my daughter home for her reading week. We did some shopping on the way home at Spirit for Halloween costumes. Sam also needed some costume parts for a photo shoot assignment at college. Saturday night we spent catching up on TV shows on the PVR.
Sunday was great to sleep in. Laze around in the morning with tea and card videos. The afternoon was spent playing with some new products. Seems like I've been purchasing alot of product and not using it. The most recent is Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder. Teal Wash and Lava Red are the two I purchased to try.
Grab a mug of your favorite beverage, this is a long one.
I started out with my journal, container of water, paint brush, spray bottle of water and of course pixie powder. I started by spreading water all over the page. Then shaking the powder on randomly.
I continued to shake and spray with the water bottle. Tilting the page to get some movement with the colors.
Next I taped two pieces of watercolor paper to the back of a clipboard, and repeated my pocess. Loving the look. Tie die.
Another new product is my new Cathy Allan's Positio It 2. I stamped this lovely lily stamp, yet another new product that came in Cardmaking & Paper Crafts. This is from a set by Jennifer Ellory called Hummingbird Sympathy. With this one I wet the area I wanted to paint in, sprinkled the powder, and used a wet paintbrush to paint it in the area.
I tried a second version with the stamp. I first wet the area that I wanted the stamp in. Then I sprinkled the powder, trying to get the colors to coordinate with the stamp. Once it was dry I stamped my image with black ink.
Now the challenge to make cards with these backgrounds. Be back soon.
happy crafting
dee ;o)
