I am back...is it May yet? I didn't want to leave, even though I didn't get too much done because I worked a lot. I will be sharing some of the things I did accomplish this weekend...and some other things that happened over the weekend. If you haven't ever made it to one of weekends yet, you are missing out. The fun we all have, sharing our craft, is unbelievable. Here is one scrapbook page I made this past weekend.
Did you know that stamping on a candle is not only easy, but beautiful. I have read many different ways to create this image, but believe it or not, I did it the simplest way. You just need to be careful that you don't burn your fingers. All you need to do is measure your candle. Grab a piece of tissue paper (white would be the best color), stamp images onto the tissue paper (measure it smaller than the candle). Once you are satisfied with the images you have stamped, wrap the tissue paper around the candle. While holding the tissue paper in place, use a heat gun to melt the candle onto the tissue paper.
Crayon resist technique. Using Lovely as a Tree stamp set with Stazon ink, I colored in with white crayon, the areas that I wanted the moon reflection on...and the snowy look. With a sponge, I took Night of Navy ink and blotted the area, all over, masking the moon (using a circle from the circle punch). After I was thorugh inking the page, I took a tissue and removed the ink from the white crayoned area. This is what came out of it. Oh, I almost forgot...I used glossy white paper.
Here is a sample card from the stamp a stack card class...I have never been a "bird" person at all...but when this stamp set arrived at my house (a Sale-a-bration set), I fell in love with the cute owl. And thanks to my friend, Maureen, she inspired me to use the googly eyes withe the eyelashes. My adorable owl...lol
I am getting a little tired of the snow...and now the ice. The only thing I have enjoyed is taking the time to be more creative than usual. With no where to go, I have given myself the "ok" to spend time making cards and projects. I have not taken pictures of the things I have made, but I will share a card I made for my last stamp a stack class. I will post some of my new projects in the next couple days. I love the new Ocassions Mini paper, so beautiful in person.
