HeART Cards

By


When I think of Peace, Kindness & Love I think of HEARTS.  I decided to try resist painting with embossing powder and Gelatos.




Heart shaped stamps
Gelatos
Water Brush
Gold Embossing Powder
Red Embossing Powder
Ink
Cherry Mist
Wink of Stella Silver
Watercolor paper
Heat tool

FIRST HeART CARD

Stamp with ink, heat emboss with gold powder on watercolor paper.

Use pink gelato, rub it on a palate and use the water brush thin it until there aren't any bits of the gelato.  Paint over the gold embossing.   

Spritz the card with the red spray.
 

Spray  with water, wipe the heart with a paper towel. Dry with heating tool.
 
 Love all the effect of the water on the card!

 
 
 
 
SECOND CARD
 
 Stamp with ink, heat emboss with red powder on watercolor paper.
 
On this card I first spritzed it with water, then sprayed it with the red spray and dabbed it dry with a paper towel.  Using a red gelato painted over the heart, then used the heat tool to dry.

Last  painted the heart with Wink of Stella.
 

Pull out your gelatos and play with them!!!

 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.

Rolling with my Gel Press

By
I love experimenting with different ways to create texture and interest on my Gel Press and for many years now I have turned to fun foam to help do this when monoprinting.  I love to team the fun foam with my dies to create my own stamps and texture plates.  I used this techniques for my prints in January that I shared here on the blog. There are lots of dies that have detail, meaning lots of scrap pieces which you can randomly stick onto cardboard giving you a stamp as well as using the actually die cut shape as a stamp.  Another idea is using them attached to a toilet roll to create a brayer like roller was shared at my local scrapbook store and on a video by Birgit Koopsen last year.  I love playing with this method. The toilet roll is slipped over a paint roller handle. Here you can see some of my texture creations that I have on hand for my play today. One texture I love is created using a piece of burlap ribbon, which I have stuck onto a toilet roll. My first layer ab
