Resist using rubber cement

I've tried this on eggs, but never would have thought to try it for a card!

I opened my rubber cement and....it was dry! I finally got a new bottle and played away:

I tried a drizzle then did yellow/ blue ink blending. And added a glitter popsicle from 'Summer Sweetness' and Happy Birthday from 'Shakers and Sprinkles'

I also tried a brush stroke with pink/orange/red ink blending. Then added some banners and Oh Yeah from 'Clipsters'

My daughter thought this looked fun and is currently working on her own cards =)

Have a great evening!

Papertrey Feburary Blog Hop Challenge

Feburary Blog Hop

The inspiration:

Lovely shade of pink and green and some pears:

I first had to try a card with green pears from 'A Second Helping of Sunshine' and a flower embellishment - an old yardsale find from my grandpa that I thought I'd never use...but it worked perfectly with the inspiration photo!


Then I stretched myself out of my clean & simple, and quite flat cards and had to play with some butterfly's from 'Life is Beautiful':

This is a lot of layers for me =)  Butterflies, vellum butterflies, leaves from 'Songbirds', pink banners, edges ink blended, and sequins! But lots of fun.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Hop!

MAKE IT MONDAY #239

CUSTOMIZING PATTERNED PAPER

Was Lizzie reading my mind? The day before she posted her video I was looking through my patten paper collection thinking 'I wish I had some inspiration to use some of this stuff.' 

I found this cute star print and then this BIG checkered pattern. Would a card maker be able to use this big bold print...let's see if we can customize it:

After some experiments I ended up stamping two different star stamps from the 'Clipsters' set. And the star in a circle I embossed with a clear sparkle powder.

For the little blue tag I stamped polka dots from 'Poka Dot Basics 2' and added some blue Perfect Pearls.

What a fun way to use a paper I never thought I would! (don't ask why I still had it then =) ) "Hello my name is Noelle and I like to collect craft supplies ALL the time and use them when I can find the time"

Have a great weekend!

Day 8 PTI Anniversary

Color Pop

Today's Challenge:

Create a new card using at least three colors selected with the Color Pop Fortune Teller. Feel free to add in whatever neutrals you like.

How fun was this! My girls hadn't seen a paper fortune teller before.

I got the colors Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry fizz, and New Leaf.

Such bright and happy colors I had to try some ink smooshing and bring out my 'Summer Sweetness' set:

I need to practice my smooshing =) it was more spotted than smooshed but still fun.


Celebrate on!
