Hello and Welcome.
It was a wet and dreary day here yesterday so I managed to
finish a card I had started for the latest challenge over at
CAS Mix Up to use Gelatos.
If you saw my first card you will see it was
a little different - well this one is
sooo very different again and something I had
never thought of before.
You see I wanted to add texture (again)
and thought I would try rubbing my gelatos
onto a gorgeous wide piece of lace - yes lace.
I liked what I saw and then thought I would add
a wee bit of shimmer. I glued the lace onto white card stock
with Gloss Gel Medium and
added Elizabeth Craft Cool Diamond Glitter.
I backed it with white card stock.
Cut out my CUTplorations Clustered Hearts Die
in gold metallic paper and topped it with
CUTplorations Love Word Die in a light Teal colour.
Sentiment is from STAMPlorations.
My Mix is - Gelatos, Gel Medium, Glitter, Lace,
Die Cutting and Stamping.
I am heading north at the end of the month
to spend some time with our daughter and
going to see the Professional Bull Riding -
I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea
but we are country folk and have been
involved with horses/cattle for a lot of years
so we are looking forward to it as well
a bit of drag racing!
Also catching up with 2 of our grandchildren.
So the next few weeks will be busy getting
DT posts scheduled and not a lot of time for
other challenges. I hope to make just a
CAS card the normal way with gelatos
before I head off. We'll see.
Thanks for dropping in today
Till next time - Cherrio from
