Honey Pop Card

A little friend is having a birthday on the first of March.  This set by Inky Antics seemed a perfect choice.  Next time I think I'll put the party hat a little further down in the middle of the card, but the rainbow paper seemed a good fit for the hat.  All the images were colored in with Copic markers.  You'll be seeing lots of birthday cards in March.  It's the month of birthdays!

Gelatos with Wow Set

Have I mentioned how much Gelatos and I have become friends?  I've really come to appreciate and enjoy using these handy little sticks of color.  They helped make a quick background for these Wow stamps.  The first thing to do was to run the sticks of color over the paper.  The using a reservoir pen, the color was blended and smoothed.  There are really so many was to "water" gelatos.  You can use your finger, a brush, a mister spray, etc.  I chose the reservoir pen because we are doing this card as a free Make It Take It today at Angela's Happy Stamper store.  It seemed the least messy way to water the paper.  The stamps were inked with Versa Fine and added once the paper was dry.  Come join the fun today if you can.

Master Board Cards for March

This is our last card from the Master Board for March.  The board is the plaid piece used behind the brown paper.  The clovers are a stamp from Magenta.  Can't remember who does the words, but they were inked with a Momento Luxe Pine. 

Master Board Cards for March

More clovers today but these are from Memory Box.  They were inked with Momento Luxe and then an extra Celtic stamp was dry stamped onto the ink to create the design you see in each clover.  The Master Board was used under the brown strip.  The same technique was used to layer the three stips at the top upon which the St. Pat. stamp was inked over the strips. 

Master Board Cards for March

We had a good time in our Master Board class last week.  During class I showed the Master Board and cards we'll be doing next month.  Here is the first of three cards.  The Master board pieces were used in the strips at the bottom of  the card and for the clovers.  An Impression Obsession background stamp created the texture on the green card.  Some extra shading was done in the corners and on the clover leaves.  The board was done with washi tape and Momento Luxe pads.

Gelli prints

Moved on to colored paper and used metallic paints with the stencils on these prints.  The red is actually a vellum paper.  Oh the possibilities!  

Gelli Prints

Here are a  couple of prints done with Crafter's Workshop stencils.  Acrylic paint was put on first, and then the stencil and more paint over the stencil.  Bright and cheerful even with the black paint.
