Well hello there! I've missed you! I am having the best summer ever traveling and being more active. It hasn't left much time to get in my craft room. But now, things are slowing down a bit, and I am able to get crafty. I hope everyone is having an amazing summer. It truly has been a hot one, here in northeast Ohio. For this month's hop, we are diving into various techniques. I went with alcohol ink backgrounds, die cutting, fussy cutting, and using rub ons. If you have not tried rub ons, let me tell you, they are a game changer. Here is our lovely cue:
I guess I took our cue literally with alcohol ink backgrounds. Ha ha!
First up:
For this card I used the stamp sets, trust in its wings (Whit Kit Dec. 2021) and kindness unfolded for the sentiment. My little blue bird was stamped on water color paper and colored with water colors. I created an alcohol ink background. I cut a peek a boo die in the center of a scalloped edge die. This piece was placed over the inked background. I also used the coordinating dies for trust in its wings. The kindness unfolded set has so many lovely sentiments, it was hard to choose one. Rub ons were also used behind the bird.
Next up:
The final stop for our hop is my lovely, super talented friend, Joyce. Make sure you show her some love.
By the time you see this post, I will be getting ready to attend a stamping convention in Sharonville, Ohio, called StampAway. Have you ever attended this one before? Are you going? Maybe we will run into each other. Wouldn't that be awesome?
See you next month for another great hop.
Peace and hugs,
Dawn
She really does need a hug. 🤗 Sending one your way. I did use a rub on on photo paper once. It went on well, but a long time later they all curled off. Lesson learned. Oh boy have fun in Ohio .
