With Lace and Love

Creating a little something today with this month's theme of Lace and next month's theme of Love in mind. It's a bit like how we approach the New Year combining the old with the New.

Anyhow the old was also incorporated into this creation by using my previously made Gel Prints where I had used Lace as a Texture Tool.

The vintage feel of the Lace Print was a perfect match for the Vintage Valentine's Image from the Victorian Valentine Collage Sheet. I teamed these items with some Lace and a Wisteria/Orchid Toned Card Base. Did you know that this shade of Purple is often associated with Romance and Sweet Emotion?

So with a simple layering of all the elements I had a completed card in no time at all!

And in no time at all we will be in the New Year! I hope you all have a Great 2018!

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!
