The Magic of Cling Wrap and Watercolor! Fun Technique!

 Talk about playtime fun! These cards were so easy, anyone can do it, but the results were really pretty. Using good ol’ cling wrap ( kitchen wrap, Saran Wrap, glad wrap, depending on where you’re from ), the hardest part is waiting for them to dry.

I did take a couple of sneak peeks , but decided to leave them overnight, and I’m glad I did.

They turned out great.

Have a marvellously creative day! Vicki x

Art Journal Flip Through Using Gel Prints.

Watch my latest YouTube video to see how my gel printing spree ended up becoming a 16 page art journal. I love my herb garden, and decided to print the herbs 🌿 🪴 I have been growing! 

Have an awesome day, Vicki x
 

Bright For Baby

 

Cards for little ones tend to be bright and cheery.

This card is no exception, and the addition of googly eyes 

is the perfect embellishment.

Take some time to stamp on the front of the envelope.

I stuck to 3 colours ( all a version of the primary spectrum )

and mass produced a stack of cards, since I liked them so much.

Have a creative day! Vicki x🎨🖌

Simply Stunning Silhouettes.

Here I have combined die cut birds with stamped sentiments 

and added a hand drawn line ( I used a thick black sharpie) 

on bright card stock to produce a simple but eye catching card. 

For the second card I bent a border stamp

 into a curve to allow a perch for the bird to sit on. 

This is a quick and easy project, 

and you could mass produce these cards very easily.

I rounded the bottom corners 

and added a white layer inside for the message. 

Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Shop Your Stash !

 

 

Using patterned paper to create multiple projects means you’re “shopping your stash”.

Don’t waste that pretty pattern. Put it to good use as cards, bookmarks, even using any leftover scraps to trim the envelope flap. Here I have made a stack of cards, and with the leftover paper I made bookmarks.
