Playing Big, Creating Small

Hi Everyone it's Danie here today, the past few weeks I have been playing big and creating small. Playing with paint and color and the latest items that arrived for me from Altered Pages.

I have been creating prints on the Gelli Plate and with some home made stamps, which I than cut down to a variety of sizes for Cards, ATC's and for the first time some match books.

To some of these prints prior to cutting them down to use for smaller projects I added some further interest with the Dina Wakley Spinners Stencil.

The match books when complete are the size of a twinchie and hold an accordion fold mini book that is 1.5 inches in size.

I played further with color to coordinate the backgrounds of my book inside to match my matchbook covers and then tried out a new circle stamp from Altered Pages.

With so many new products on hand I couldn't stop with matchbooks created using my prints.........I also created some match books using coordinating papers from Devoted Authentique 6 x 6 Paper Pad, and Edges Mini in kraft.

I do hope you have a chance to play big this week!

Danie xx

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!
