In honor of the moon

By

Happy Friday everyone! For today's post I am taking a break from my Christmas in July crafting to share with you these 4 ATCs honoring the moon in all its glory. In commemoration of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's first steps on the moon in 1969, July 20th is celebrated as Moon Day. I used the black and white images of the Halloween Box Camera and the Wicked Witches Collage Pages along with Sakura Crystal Lacquer, Mica Powders and chunky glitter.

The Process

The collage pages were printed on plain card stock and adhered to chipboard ATCs with Crystal Lacquer. Mica powders were mixed with lacquer to color the moons yellow and pumpkins orange. A thicker bead of lacquer was added along some edges of the ATCs to hold the weight of chunky glitter. Finally a light dusting of mica powder was added to the non-chunky glitter edges.

Thank you for looking! Happy Moon Day! ~leslierahye

 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.

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!
