Tomorrow is DAD's Day!!!

By
We will be celebrating Father's Day with my father-in-law... we always take him to breakfast or make one of his favorites at home.  He knows what he is getting... a homemade card and a stack of vintage postcards!
 
His card this year is a simple one made with a sentiment from Altered Pages collage sheet "DAD's ARE GRAND" and a GYPSY SOUL LASER CUTS hot air balloon!
 
 
 Dad a couple of years ago at breakfast on Father's Day!

 
 

 
A few day ago I shared how I cover chipboard with embossing powder.  Today I am using Gold Leaf.  First, cover the chipboard with adhesive, today I used a very thin coat of Tacky Glue... let it set a minute or tow so it is just tacky.
 
 
Cover the glued chipboard with Gold Leaf and burnish gently with your fingers... using a soft paint brush gently remove the excess.

 
If there are any sections missing Gold Leaf, apply Tacky Glue to the section and repeat!

 
Cut the sentiment from Altered Pages collage sheet "DAD's ARE GRAND"

 
Adhere the GYPSY SOUL LASER CUTS hot air balloon with Tacky Glue!


Add a  bit of ribbon and you are finished...
QUICK AND EASY!

    I think the simple background and sentiment image make the balloon stand out perfectly! Great card.

 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!
