A few greeting cards

Hi, it's Robin here today with a some greeting cards to share. I've been in a Halloween mood lately. The decorations are going up all over our neighborhood and in our office, too. The days are cooler and some of the leaves have already started to change. The first card I'd like to share today is a Halloween card, and features an image from the Ravens Take Flight sheet. I combined this trio of birds with black paper from my scrap bin and some paper flowers. Simple, but the black card makes the ravens really stand out.

My second card is a 6x6 Steampunk collage. Several different colors of StazOn ink were added to the cardstock using a sponge sweeper. Some were sponged on through stencils.

The color was very dark and I added a white wash over the top. A white gelato with a water brush toned down the colors just enough! Images were added from various collage sheets (see the list below).

Items used:
Royal Aqua-Flo Water Brushes
StazOn ink in cool and warm colors
Gelatos

Paper flowers in two sizes

Collages:

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!
