July Fun




I'm still stuck on Gina K. videos and playing with backgrounds and brushes.  I am in the Halloween mood today and had so much fun making these that I went way overboard.

Slimline Again

Back to a few more slimline cards.  I had the mats lying around, I purchased them at a show many, many years ago and it was time to use them up.  I'm still not a big fan of anything that's not an A2 size.  I probably won't be making many more of the slimline cards.

Backgrounds

I'm terrible with backgrounds.  I've been using brushes that came from the dollar store in the makeup section and I've been pretty happy with the results.  I might even invest in some regular brushes because they're so much bigger and look like they'll put down even smoother color.

"New" Slimline Cards

I remember making these way back in the 80's.  Now they're new and called Slimline.

These were also inspired by watching Gina K. videos.  I was going through a spell where I really had lost my mojo, but watching her videos has really snapped me out of it!

Long time......

It's been quite a long time since we've posted.  I thought it was about time I did something about that.
I've been stuck on Gina K. designs for a few months.  She's quite talented and comes up with such fantastic ideas to get me back in the craft room.  These are my results from her wreath making videos.
This was my first attempt.  I loved it and couldn't stop. 
Most of her examples were beautiful wreaths with flowers or leaves.  Well, that's not my style.  LOL
This one took a while.  Those little men are from Picture Show, I love their stamps.  I first saw them at an Heirloom Show many, many years ago.  I have a notebook full of their stuff.  I think they still sell on Etsy.
I finished up with some gnomes.  These are all made with a stamping platform.  The gnome was a wood mounted stamp, but it peeled right off the wood, maybe due to the heat and humidity in my craft room.  Anyway, it worked out well. 

So for now, I'm stuck on Gina K. videos......  It's a good thing.
