Do All Things.....

HELLO MY FRIENDS!

It is the 4th of July weekend
and my boy is coming home for 2 weeks

LIFE IS GOOD!

I wanted to share with you

my latest 'TOVER....

I had been working on this project for

UmWowStudio

and had some unused goodies

I just couldn't throw out!

So, I used them to create this card.

I had applied leftover

Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster ~ Cayenne

through UWS ~ Handwriting Stencil

to a card created from 

CCB ~ Kraft Cardstock.

Now the 'TOVERS on my card are....

the paper flower created using

Spellbinder's Oopsy Daisy Die.

I cut the layers from

7Dots Studio ~ Homegrown collection

and a piece of vintage curtain,

....and Petaloo's Paintable Mini Pearl Daisies

which I had colored with diluted

Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster ~ Cayenne.

I stapled on a piece of 

UmWowStudio ~ Hexagon Background

that I had painted black.

When I was manhandling the piece of

CCB ~ Burlap ~ Black

 I saved the fibers I pulled and

used them behind my flower!

For the card background

I splattered on a bit of India Ink

and did a bit of ghost stamping.

The whole inspiration for my card is

the tag from the

7Dots Studio Homegown Collection.

DO ALL THINGS WITH LOVE!!

WISHING EVERYONE A SAFE AND HAPPY

HOLIDAY WEEKEND.....

I know mine will be!

....an ATC

....THEN WHAT??!??!

Howdy Peeps.....

Lynne Forsythe here for another Guest Design Team post
over at Eclectic Paperie!

I have quite the affection for ATC's.

Such a little tiny space...

to stretch the design skills....

Here is my latest ATC I've create.....

How much goodness
can you pack onto a 2.5" x 3.5" surface??!??!

I collaged on some of Christy Tomlinson's
Coffee Filter Paper using
Multi Medium ~ Matte.

Then I colored on the collaged paper
with 50's Diner Gelatos.
With a wet paint brush I blended the colors.

Using The Crafter's Workshop template,
I applied some Gesso over the collage
and then applied "Blood Orange" Gelato
over the gesso!

Whipped up a little banner....
from the "Unforgettable" collection by MME,
stapled it to the ATC with
my Tiny Attacher.

Of course I had to stick on a flower cluster.
I colored the flowers with the
same "50's Diner" gelatos.

Now....my question always was/is...
What do you do with the little ditties after
you've had sooo much fun making them?!??!

Adorn the face of a card....
and send it to a friend!!

Hope I've inspired you to try one out...
if you never have before!!
