Well I managed to get some of the Christmas cards completed following
my self set challenge on Wednesday. I love Stampin' Up! 's photopolymer
Endless Wishes stamp set. I have so many ideas in my head using these Christmas stamps at the moment!
I started these cards at the same time as the
Four Feather's
birthday cards I shared on Monday. I used the same ink splatter
technique i.e. squeeze some white ink on a flat surface (I used one of
my acrylic blocks) and then mix a little surgical spirits/rubbing
alcohol from an
Aquapainter
and then gently flick the brush over the card stock. It's great fun but
be warned it's a little messy. Note to self: splatter the ink in a
cardboard box next time. I got white ink everywhere - all over my
camera, computer, drawer units. Everything on my desk basically ended up
being splattered lol!
The
Bedlam Brothers were fascinated by the process. They wanted to "help"!
Ha ha - I will do this with them once we have the build work done and we
have the room to make sure the walls don't get covered! We're a little
cramped in at the moment. Downstairs we have one room that is
functioning as a living/dining room and food prep room. I still have use
of the oven and the sink in the kitchen but there are no work tops
left.
I've
made some of the Kraft ones for the school to sell at their Christmas
fair in a couple of weeks. What do you think? Would you buy this sort of
thing at a school fair? I'm doing a few other styles of cards as well,
so hopefully they will sell.
Well that's it from me this week. I
hope you have a fantastic weekend, whatever you may be doing - hopefully
that will include some crafting!
Thanks for stopping by!
