   Congratulations Bonnie, please send me your address to miller896042@bellsouth.net and I will send it right out.  I have some more items to pass along so keep your eye out will have another drawing sometime this week. Thanks everyone!

Yupo Paper

I made my background using the Yupo translucent and alcohol inks. Put a couple of drops for ink onto a pad and added a little blending solution and started dabbing the paper. I was going for a soft look and it only took a couple of small drops of ink. I like the look, but you could do this on glossy card stock too. I will say it was a little difficult to color the flower, I had to dab on the ink as not to smear the black. Will need to do a little more research on using the Yupo.

My card is for the challenge over at StampTV Here,  a sympathy card. I used the Birthday blessings Stamp set from GKD for the flower and the sentiment is from the Heartfelt Stamp set also from Gkd.

Don't forget to check out my giveaway Here.

Hope everyone has a crafty weekend!

Happy Birthday + Giveaway!

Today I worked on a birthday card for a challenge over at Stamp TV, it's my party! I love to do birthday cards and never seem to have enough.

I made the striped paper by making my own glitter paste, my first attempt and I love how it turned out! Now I can make any color paste I want to match my card stock. It's just a mixture of texture paste, I used transparent gloss and added Nuvo pure sheen glitter and Gina K lemon drop dye reinker. Mix it together and spread a thin layer over a stencil. Remove stencil and clean immediately along with your spatula. Allow to dry before stamping or cutting.

Now for the give away, I've been organizing and cleaning up my craft room and found several duplicates of items, so I've decided to pass them along to someone else. Just leave me a comment if you're interested and I will draw a winner on Sunday February 5, 2017!  The winner will receive More Massive Messages from GinaK design Stamp set and the Spellbinders Label 37 set.
