SPRING has Sprung!

Happy Sunday to all!

We got in the Spring mood and made this lovely Spring decor piece to celebrate the season of fresh, renewed, happy colors and a desire for sunny days!

We started with a blank wooden die cut.

You could choose paper from the wonderful USArtQuest selection of fabulous papers, gluing some Mica DeLites with PPA (Perfect Paper Adhesive) directly onto the paper for a subtle shimmery background. In this case, I had a lovely paper from Robin's Nest.

This paper was set aside to dry while we painted the wood with some Dixie Belle Chalk Paints - color buttercream.

The next step was to paint and add Mica DeLites to small wooden die cuts of flowers and butterflies. Allow them to dry as well.

Next, glue the small shape pieces onto the face of the sign, placing them to create an eye appealing layout.

The SPRING wood diecut allows all that sparkle from the Mica DeLites on the paper to show through.

Almost finished - When the paper backing was in place, I added some chunkier Mica Flakes mixed with glitter to some of the paper backed holes of the die cuts with PPA glue.

I also added a Spring yellow bow for a final touch. We think this is a lovely addition to the porch, door or inside your home.

WELCOME SPRING

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!
