Have you Discovered Unchartered Waters?

By
Sadly I haven't been crafting much at all these past few weeks, my own blog has been very neglected.  I was in need of a birthday card so I used that as my excuse to get away from all the other stuff taking up my time and dug into my Altered Pages Stash where I ventured into 'Unchartered Waters'.  That's the name of the Paper Collection from Glitz which I used to whip me up a manly card.  



The nautical based themes and colors of these papers are just perfect for a male card, nothing overly dark, not really any floral designs apart from one paper and they all coordinate beautifully together no matter which way you mix them up.  I love the slightly distressed look of these papers too as it suits my usual messy style.

I decided to follow the nautical idea and used this Glitz Sailing Boat Stamp which is from their Happy Travels Set.  I stamped and embossed then cut this out to align with the edge of my layered papers which includes a piece of the embossed Two Scoops Cardstock from Bazzill.  I then colored this image with my Gelatos to blend in with the colors of the papers.    Finishing off with a Leaky Shed chipboard Gear, a button and some twine to embellish and some added doodles with a white gel pen to highlight the waves.

If you have not ventured out and discovered Uncharted Waters yet yourself,  I suggest you sail over to the Altered Pages store and order today.

      Thanks Becky, there is a few stamps I love in the Happy Travels Set, particularly the map background and a plane pulling hearts behind it.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
