Acetate Xmas Trees...

Hello and Happy Last day of January Everyone!!

Well, we ALL made it through our first month of the New Year! YAY

Before you know it, Spring will be here! YYAASSSS!!! 😊

I've got a Christmas card to show ya using foil -

I bought those Acetate Toner sheets from Deco foil (awhile ago) and had these all

foiled up in assorted colors of course - Since I only got this one

completed, I thought I would show it - 

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the PEARL FOIL -

That is what I used on those trees - now up close and in person 

you can see the foil, but other than that, it looks like I've got

black silhouette trees (nothing wrong with that) but that

wasn't what I was going for! LOL

I colored the backside of the acetate to add some color to the

trees and that turned out cute - but I gotta say I love the

other colors I got on my other trees - I just need to turn them

into cards first before sharing! 😁

The toner sheets are great for those of you who don't have a laser printer

And the acetate ones are just fun for trying something different!

They ALL HEAT FOIL BEAUTIFULLY!  (trust me I got a bunch!)

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

SumMore Fun - Mood Board Challenge #19

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

Today... starts another FUN Challenge over at: 

SumMore Fun Stamps

 YAY! I know how you

guys enjoy a good Challenge!

Our Mood Board is -- TRY SOMETHING NEW

 You can use the Mood Board or go by the Theme
or Use the color combo or Use all 3!!! You don't have to use
a stamp from SumMore Fun if you don't have one!


All the rules for this fun challenge are RIGHT HERE!

Here's what I created to inspire you --

I decided to try something NEW to ME! I've NEVER EVER tried
the BABY WIPE Technique - So, I watched a couple of videos
and then felt good enough to try it myself - I started with a stamp --

I really didn't like how it came out so then I thought???
Hey, I can just use this baby wipe on some
Watercolor paper!! Right?? Maybe?? Let's see....

And so I did use the baby wipe method on some watercolor 
paper, I used Distress Re-Inkers (Peeled Paint, Dried Marigold,
Worn Lipstick, & Scattered Straw)
Dabbing my Baby wipe all over the watercolor paper
then proceeded to spritz some water on the watercolor 
paper - to help mix it up a little more
and the background you see here is what I got!

I ended up liking how neat it turned out - so I dried
my watercolor paper completely and then sprayed it with some
Sheer Shimmer Frosted Spritz - I LIKE SPARKLE!!
Then I needed a little bit more so I added some
Splatters of Distress Spray in Tarnished Brass
Once that all dried, I REALLY LIKE my background
I thought it was so NEAT!

So, then I thought what else can I do???
So I decided to TRY ANOTHER TECHNIQUE!! EEK!

I've NEVER EVER Embossed on ACETATE Before -
and I bought some acetate that's designed for
heat embossing but never tried it until now!!

So I took that AWESOME HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAMP (2871-H)
from Victorine Originals and stamped it on some
Heat Resistant Acetate (Crafter's Companion)
using my Versamark ink, then using some
Super Fine White Embossing powder to cover over it -
shook off the excess powder
 then pulled out my Heat tool and away I went!

And it turned out so PRETTY! EEK! 
I didn't want to cover up my cool background so
I used a label shape die I had to cut out the
Happy Birthday Sentiment, then used that same
die to create a thin frame around the sentiment -

I didn't add anything else to my card, because I
thought all that color was so pretty and didn't think
I needed anything else to add!


Of course I did the inside of my card as well --

I didn't use any special techniques, but I used that
Pretty BEST WISHES Stamp from Victorine Originals
along with a flower & Gem from my stash!

I hope you guys can join us --

 I would LOVE to see what you create!
