Flowers for Mother's Day--a tiny canvas

Please allow me introduce you to Lily Lavender.

She's a lovely little miss, with her empire waist dress, and pretty bouquet of flowers. Lily reminds me of a character from one of Jane Austen's novels; however, she comes to us via Rubber Stamping Depot (you'll also find her, of course, at Altered Pages).

I've created an ATC sized canvas with Miss Lavender, using Ecoboard and Gelli printing. Lily is stamped and cut out--I prefer using Versafine or StazOn when stamping on Gelli prints, as these inks don't bleed like some others do.

Lily's feet are adhered to the Ecoboard canvas, however, from about the waist up, she is attached with dimensional squares, giving that little bit of 3d effect.

You'll find us creating with more Rubber Stamp Depot products
throughout the month of May.

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!
