A Happy {Rainbow} Hello

 

 

Yesterday Jennifer posted a video showing a

Wood Veneer Letterpress technique I just had to try!

I'm not a huge fan of pigment inks, which are necessary for this technique, but I did have one pad that I didn't get rid of. I tried using distress inks and distress paints.  Both worked, but Jennifer's right, pigment works best.

 

In her video, Jennifer shares her sandwich.

I thought I'd share mine since we use a different machine.

I use a Cuttlebug and my sandwich is as follows:

 

From Bottom to Top

A Plate

2 Tan Mats

Cardstock

Wood Veneer {Ink  Side Down}

C Plate

 

Worked like a charm!

I used Inktense pencils to create my rainbow and then used it to create the strip down the side and also to die cut the Hand Lettered Hello.

Create Granite Using WPlus9 Ink Refills

 

While in CO, we stayed with my husband's brother and his family.

Even though they had just moved into their new house about a week before and were still unpacking and looking for extra plates, they said, "C'mon out!" We had such a nice time with them; I wanted to make and send a special 'thank you'.

 

 

I took over 200 photos in the quick 4 days we were out there!

So much beauty everywhere I couldn't resist one more shot.

I thought a Polaroid was the perfect way to represent that part of the trip.

 

 

I created my granite/marble mountains using WPlus9's PURECOLOR Dye Ink Refills and my marbling technique.

Hi Guys!

Just home from a trip to Colorado to visit family. 

 It was my first time and it. was. beautiful!

My Feedly was full, but I made it through more than 300 posts!

So many beautiful projects. 

I would have liked to leave comments on them, but there were so many.

Starting now I'm back on track. 

See you soon with some projects to share ;)

 

 

Your {Awesome} Day

Hello

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

We spent time with family and friends and the weather could not have been better.

I recently ordered a set of  Derwent Inktense Pencils.

They just came the other day and I have been enjoying playing around with them.

I used them here, subtly, on the background.  I've been really loving cards like this and this.

 

CAS(E) this sketch!

Stamp Set Roulette {With Sympathy}

 

Hello!

Spinning the wheel again today to see what I get.

Today, not as lucky!
These are two sets I probably never would have thought to put together,

 but that's the point isn't it?

 

 

I randomly picked WPlus9's Folk Art Flurries and Fresh Cut Wreaths.

 

 

I created two versions. 

Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card so I tossed in another

 stamp set that had the appropriate sentiment.

 

The circle has been colored with Flamingo ink and the tiny flowers dotted with Glossy Accents.

Thanks for stopping by!
