CANVAS# HPJ-2016-03: Happy Place

Hello there! I'm quite obsessed with the splatter technique lately and I went crazy with the canvas splattering ink and acrylic paint on it. It's not much, but I love how it turned out. Well, aside from getting crazy with the inks, I also used several stencils for the background with molding paste. Woohoo! Without further ado, here it is.

CARD# HPJ-2016-25: Enjoy

Hi! Here's another late post. It's a mixed media card for a colleague's sister-in-law.

The card measures 4 1/2" x 5 3/4". 

I distressed the edges of the papers that I used for the card. Before adhering the patterned paper onto the black board paper, I stenciled on it. I then splattered ink all over the surface. After drying, I added the tag with a stamped sentiment and decorated it. I stamped on the dried molding paste as a finishing touch.

That was that. It was an easy card to make. It just took time for everything to dry, but I like how it turned out.

Thanks for looking today! Stay dry!

CARD# HPJ-2016-24: Pink Love

Hi! I had issues with our internet connection last time when I was finished with this project so I did not get to post it until I have forgotten about it. It's a trishutter card for Sam's birthday. Here it is.

The card measures 4 1/4" x 6".

I did not embellish the card that much since the papers are so pretty already. It looked so delicious I wanted to eat it. Heh. 

Basically, I just adhered patterned papers on all the panels and added the embellishments on the front part of the card. I put in some cute little hearts inside though. 

I was told the recipient loved it. Thank you! It was for a teenage girl and I originally did not know what to make for her except that it should have lots of pink since she's fond of the color. So this is what I came up with. I'm glad she loved it. I have more trishutter cards coming. I just haven't taken photos of them yet, but there are two more for my friends' birthdays. I hope you come back to check on them. Thanks for stopping by today!
