Hi Kerry! Your cards are looking great! That first one with the big circles was my fave but I love all of the embossed ones. I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure I have that in stencil form. With all you have to do it's amazing that you can put out such nice work! I had the grandsons out to the farm for a late Easter egg hunt, one of their prizes was shrink paper. Scads of fun with the mini pancake maker (Marion strikes again lol). Have a good week and get some rest if you can!
Thank you Jean,if I don't check out and create I will lose what sanity I have left. Let's just say somethings didn't get done but I don't care lol. Oh fun with the littles that is so fun. I tried to buy the mini pancake maker an they don't have any in the town I work in and forgot when I went to a bigger city to look. I did get wood and start my table top so happy it's starting to happen. No one will let me rest but I will try❤️
I forget where I put things and I'll be looking for something, surprise, I found the thing I had been wanting a week or so before. lol Have you tried Gamsol with your colored pencils? I had seen GinaK using it with her pencils. It's an art grade mineral oil, not regular mineral oil, I guess it's made differently or processed different. There are other things you can use, but the one I seen on Cathy Zielske's channel I forget what it was. It was a natural product, I had already purchased gamsol, so I was going to use that and then try the other thing...but I forget what that thing was right now. I also thought baby oil was also something that could be used. You get blending stumps, dip it in the gamsol (or whatever your using) and run it over the color on your paper. It spreads it out and smooths it, it looks a little like watercolor. I made several cards last night. My mom's birthday card and my husband's mom's mother's day card. Now I have to make my mom's mother's day card and his mom's birthday card. My mom's birthday is the week before mother's day, so I just made two of the same card and using one for my mom's birthday and the other for his's mom's mother's day, then I'll do the same with the other two I make. Then the same for father's day, but they are both getting moose heads for father's day. lol It was a free set I got from Colorado & Company since it took my order longer to come in and then be shipped. I had completely forgot about it. I have three other birthday cards to make in May before the father's day and birthday cards for our dads. I also have a graduation party the first weekend in May so I did that as well, well I just have to fill it out. I hope this week is better than this past week. I'll be keeping you in prayer. Take care!
Thank you Abby, it is so fun to find new old things lol. I haven't tried gamsol I have heard of it just never bought any. I will have to try something I am sure I have something I can use in my stash to give the same look. Oh you have many cards to make,you will be busy but I like the idea of making 2 an giving for different people for different holidays. Those are fun gifts they will love them. You have alot of fun celebrations coming, hope you have fun. Thanks for the prayers they are much needed. Hope you have an amazing week❤️
I love your cards. I did not fully get what happened with your dog but I wish you a speedy recovery. I had some stupid accident with an animal long ago. Nobody fault but still 🫣
