Unity new Tuesday link up Hop

More fun with DecoArt acrylic paint, gelli plate and Unity Stamps!

Below is my background-I love making my own designer paper! 

I used Americana buttermilk and a blue to create this awesome background.

 I used a Unity stamp butterfly and stamped in random areas using brown archival ink on the background.  Then stamped one on white cardstock with black archival ink. Colored it in with various acrylic paint. Fussy cut and added to my card.  The sentiment is also a Unity stamp.

 I usually attach my to my card base using glue since the paper ends up thicker and I'm scared regular snail tape won't hold good.

I'll be linking up to Unity Stamp Company Tuesday Hop.  It's taking the place of Friends with Flair on Friday's.  Don't miss out!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday!

Friday's here and you know what that means! 

Unity Stamp's Friends With Flair Linkup!! 

I'm still loving this image of Jesus walking on the beach with the little girl.

I used one of my gelli prints that had some blue and grey paint and stamped right on top.

 Then I took my distress markers (by Ranger) and did a little highlighting.  

I LOVE how it turned out and thought it would be perfect in a frame!

To the frame I added some DecoArt metallic gold around the outside edge.  I stamped Unity Cross from the Faith set and fussy cut it.  layered it with some Wild orchid Flowers.

 I'll be linking up!  Hope you love it as much as me!!

ALERT!!!!!  I am joining in a special production on YouTube starting today.  If you want to be WOWED by artist of all types-simply go to YouTube and type in #lovesummerart

Pretty Bow Theme at RRR

Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge #121 is

Pretty Bow Theme

Let me just say-if you've never gotten ribbon from RRR-you need to!

Very high quality. You get excellent prices.   

 My card today was made for someone that likes leopard print. I didn't have any pattern paper that fit, so I made my own!  Out came my gelli plate!  I used DecoArt supplies-their Media Fluid Acrylics in Titan Buff, Gold Metallic, Paynes Grey and Transparent Red Iron Oxide.  Used their Snake Skin stencil-closest thing I had to "leopard" looking.  I think it turned out pretty reasonable!
Of course, I did several different variations using different colors and different DecoArt products, but liked this one the best.  Added my PRETTY BOW for RRR, some Wild Orchid Flowers and viola'-I beautiful birthday card.

Hope you like it! Have a super blessed day!
 

Mother's Day with Really Reasonable Ribbon

Really Reasonable Ribbon has an inspiration photo for their challenge.

I was immediately drawn to the vibrant color of the flowers.

I had this beautiful purple ribbon from RRR to use!

The background is a gelli plate creation of mine.  As you know-I'm addicted and make multiples every time I get my gelli plate out!

I always use DecoArt acrylic paint.  There are so many shades to choose from!

 The flowers are from Wild Orchid Flowers.  They have the best mulberry flowers!
The hummingbird is from Doodle Pantry.  I love how it turned out!

April Shower challenge @ The Mixed Meda

April showers are here!  It sounded like a fun challenge-so 

I grabbed my gelli plate and had some fun layering paint and stencils.

The mixed Media April challenge #11 is about April showers & May flowers.

 Used Stampin UP star stencil and Andy Skinner Vogue and Accessories Mixed Media Stencils made by Deco Art.

Gelli Plate and DecoArt = AMAZING CARD

DecoArt Owl Stencil = FUN!

I used Americana Paint, gelli plate to create my base.

Roll on a layer of Milk Chocolate-lay the stencil in place.

blot - pic #1

immediately peel your stencil off and lay it down & clean off. pic #2

Allow to completely dry before applying the next color.

 Roll on Light Buttermilk.  Lay your cardstock on top & rub really good. When you pull your print-it's already dry!

 I "embellished" the owl by adding some details with DecoArt Paper Effects.
They come with a fine tip to add to the regular tip on the bottle. Will give you a really fine line. Went around the edges and his eyes with Black Pearl.  Used Golden Pearl around the circles in his stomach. (funny how I'm identifying the owl as a male!!)  The dots in the center of his eye is White Pearl. Allow to dry & then add your embellishments.

Turned out to be a beautiful card!  I even used DecoArt Metallics on the black circle and sentiment. Using my finger, I rubbed some Orange Flicker.

Gelli Plate FUN!

I'm probably the last person in the word to get a gelli plate!

I broke down & got one from Altered Pages store. I LOVE IT!!!

Do you hear me squealing in delight??

I cannot believe I waited so long to try it!

I love layering the colors/stencils and seeing hat happens.

 If you'd like to see the video of how I created these prints-jump over to the Altered Pages blog.
The wings are German scrap from our partnering company Kunze.  I received a bag full of goodies. Can't wait to create more projects with it.

 Here are two more prints I pulled from trying my gelli plate. I haven't finished my cards yet.

 You can get art supplies from Altered Pages.  The brayer, stencils, gelli plate and much more!
