Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you how I created the Wanderlust ATC for the Orient Enchantment event.
I
started by spraying a piece of mixed media paper with LSG Hi
Maintenance Magenta, Luscious Lime, & Sassy Sapphire. I then
stamped the two larger stamps from the Travel Stuff Set using Versamark ink and embossed with black EP.
I cut a section of the paper out to ATC size and edged with black ink. Next, I stamped the hansa hand from the India Set
and cut out. I colored the hand with Prismacolor pencils. Before
adding the hand to the ATC I splattered the background with yellow and
orange paint.
Finally, I stamped Wanderlust from the Travel Quotes Set onto a piece of cardstock then sprayed it with LSG Yellow Rose of Texas.
Until later.............................

Journey ATC - How To
Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you how I created the Journey ATC I made for the Orient Enchantment event.
Lastly, I stamped the "All journeys" quote from the Travel Quotes set using Timber Brown Stazon ink onto a piece of cardstock I had colored with watered down LSG Canna Little Burnt Orange. I then assembled everything, popping up my image and saying with pop dots.
I
started by spraying a piece of mixed media paper with LSG Canna Lily
Burnt Orange, wiping it with a baby wipe to remove some of the color.
Once it was dry I stamped the map from the India set using sepia ink and then cut it to fit my ATC.
I then stamped the Matsya from the India set
on another piece of paper using teal ink and clear embossed. I painted
the details using Metallique Ancient Coin and then cut him out.
Lastly, I stamped the "All journeys" quote from the Travel Quotes set using Timber Brown Stazon ink onto a piece of cardstock I had colored with watered down LSG Canna Little Burnt Orange. I then assembled everything, popping up my image and saying with pop dots.
That's all for today!

In the Garden for Gecko Galz
Good morning everyone! I've been busy working but wanted to stop and share some things I created for Gecko Galz using their amazing collage sheets.
This ATC was created for a swap. I used patterned paper for the background & die cuts I was provided with by my partner. The image is from the Sea Nymphs Collage Sheet that I fussy cut out. "Wanderlust" is from a Travel Quotes stamp set by Lost Coast Designs.
These and more fabulous collage sheets can be found online in the Gecko Galz Etsy store.
This one was created using the Pretty Birds Collage Sheet. I trimmed it up and placed it on an ATC that I edged with blue ink. I went over the image with several different colors of Stickles that closely matched the color of the image. This gave it a raised design and lots of sparkle. The "chirp" was added with stick-on letters. It's a beautiful piece in person but hard to capture with a camera.
1) Sprinkle LSG Yodeling Yellow and Oktoberfest Orange magicals onto your card and spray with water.
2) Stencil the floral image using the Floral Mini layering stencil and Coloure Arte Orange Peel Vivid Metallic. Outline the card with same.
3) Trim a fairy from the new Fairy Magic Collage Sheet along with some of the flowers. Place your fairy on a die cut limb so it looks as if she's sitting on it.
4) Add the words using Chit Chat stickers.
1) Spray a blank coaster with Smooch Pralines and Cream and LSG Yellow Rosee of Texas & Canna Lily Burnt Orange, in that order. Dry
2) Stencil on your design with the Woodgrain layering stencil and any permanent black ink.
3) Cut out the image from the Art Nouveau Collage Sheet and adhere to the left of the coaster.
4) Using an alpha set (Lost Coast Designs Old Typewriter was used here), stamp Kitty onto a piece of cardstock that was colored with LSG Yellow Rose of Texas and Canna Lily Burnt Orange. Trim up the letters and place the word down the right side of the coaster.
5) Add a line of black rhinestones between your image and your word.
6) Finish off with black ribbon around all the edges. Seal with several coats of varnish if you wish to use it as a true coaster. Gloss works best.

Journey for Lost Coast Designs
Good morning everyone! There's a new Challenge up today over at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. This month's challenge is Black and White.
Here's what I came up with:
It's so very difficult for me to just work with the two non-colors, but I liked the way it turned out. I used the new stamp Drips and one of the faces from the Faces Set along with the word Journey from Miscellaneous Words. I used black glass glitter to fill in the top of the Drips stamp.
Until later.................................
Smiles~

Memories Card for Gecko Galz March Challenge
Good morning everyone! It's time for the March Challenge over on the Gecko Galz blog and I wanted to share a card I created for it with you.
To be honest, I goofed. This month's challenge is Fairy Garden & I missed the "Fairy" part. I hope it gives you some inspiration anyway.
1) Cut a piece of white cardstock and color with with DP Mowed Lawn.
2) Using Stencil Girl's Scribble Mask add some DP Barn Door.
3) Trim the image of the girl from the Garden Time Collage Sheet and place it on a piece of yellow cardstock, leaving a small edge all the way around. Add to the left side of your painted cardstock.
4) Scatter little mini colored flower die cuts around the card then add some large floral diecuts to the right of the image then add a TH Word Band and some seam binding to the bottom.
5) Mound everything on a piece of yellow cardstock. You now have a card.
I'm not a great cardmaker by any stretch of the imagination but I hope you liked today's project. For more great images like the one I used, check out Gecko Galz's store on Etsy.
