You Make my life Sweet!

Yup! You said it Rainbow... Now that is an Ice cream. On these Hot days. The temp. has reached up to 109 in some spots around Connecticut this week. A little side note... Had to laugh yesterday. My daughter begged me to get her Ice cream. We went to the store which is about 15 minutes away. got the Ice cream and ran to the car. Put it in a cooler so it wouldn't be soup by the time we got home and realized that its a 109 degrees outside. What are the chances to get home and not have soup.....laughing because of the exerp from Forrest gump... We can make.... Soup pancakes, soup salad, soup cake, soup sandwiches. all out of the melted icecream... shes's 11, what do you want. it was funny at the time. Still laughing over it! :)

I decided to do another one from this challenge. I had a ball. I did the "flicking" blending technique. From one way is one color- flicking and then turning it upside down and doing the same.

This is the MFTWSC11. I had a blast making this card. I used the MFT- Purely innocence carnation stamp and then just added the Die-namic of a rose and put that on the flower.

Im so Sad, I Could Just Cry!

Technique: Polished stone technique which consists of Alcohol inks, and glossy paper. I have been trying to perfect this for some time and our local stamp store that has a monthly class- Stamp sista's. I couldn't believe how easy and figured out what I was doing wrong all this time. Glossy paper, Tim Holtz alcohol inks, Tim Holtz blending tool with felt applicators. You put a few drips of the color your trying to achieve in little dots on the felt. Not to touch each other, then add a mixative like the gold, silver or pearl. Then add the alcohol blending solution over that and pounce on the glossy card stock and voila! Beautiful results. Never the same either. I also added this card to a contest on Moxie fab world stamping stamping techniques. Check it out
