Think about it Thursday

Have you ever bought a crafting tool

you just "HAD" to have only

to find you really didn't like it or ever

use it?

For me I purchased the Martha Stewart

Mini scoreboard

Adore the original one

mini one sits in my drawer

Also purchased the Martha Stewart

stamp press the small and the large

never use them

Love the fiskar's stamp press

and recently got the MISTI

omg if you don't have that and you mess

up stamping this it the tool for you

I will admit it is pricey but that is one

tool I don't regret buying.....

Funky Floral stencil How to

Hi everyone hope you are all

enjoying your holiday weekend

I am loving having an extra day off!

Sometimes I don't explain things the

best. Guess I think everyone know

way more than I do...

but Georgiana from

Carson's Creations

asked how I made the background on

this card

                         

I use canson watercolor paper

and cute it 6x6

I use painters tape to adhere it

to my crafting mat

Tim Holtz distress inks

ripe raspberry

spiced marmalade

salty ocean

mowed lawn

Funky Floral Stencil

before I pull the stencil off

I mist the ink with some water and

with a little clear perfect pearls

gives some shimmer and a more

water color look

I cut the piece to an a2 size back ground

and have a few little pieces left

I made two small banners

 

Hope that helps everyone

 

Karen

How do you restart your

creative juices when you

get in a slump and have lost

your crafty mojo?

That's when I reorganize my

supplies and something I haven't used

gets my brain going

plus my craft room gets a little neater.....

Wow what an amazing combination.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this

was Cary Grant who was a very classy actor.

I love the way you have him sitting on the

basketball hoop and then turned that into the

50! Bet your brother loved this card it is so

well thought out!
