Celebrate Independence Day

Hello everyone. I hope you are all looking forward to your July 4th holiday celebrations this weekend. In honor of our country's independence, I have made a card using one of the new collage sheets from Altered Pages.

Start with these supplies. Trim navy card stock to 4" x 5-1/4" and layer onto kraft card.

Ink the white mini edge with light brown ink and the Ranger Blending Tool. Adhere to right edge of card.

Cut out a frame shape from Collage Backgrounds Red sheet and adhere over the image from the Altered Pages Patriotic People 2392 collage sheet. Add a strip of gold sticker around the inside of the frame.

Use the Double-sided tape mini to adhere a piece of scrap chipboard to the back, distress the edges with brown ink and the blending tool. Adhere to card front.

Stamp "Celebrate" onto scrap white card with Navy ink, punch out with label punch, and distress with light brown ink and the blending tool. Adhere to card with adhesive dimensionals.

Cut two tiny banners from scrap navy card stock.

Adhere to bottom of card with #4 Wooden Bingo Marker.

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!
