Colour Block Backgrounds
Happy Spring Morning.
Today the sun has decided to make a rare appearance, giving me hope that the spring rainy season will come to a close in the near future. This is the perfect time to be doing a post showing some bright beautiful fun cards.
My phone has been suggesting more and more YouTube videos to me lately and admittedly I have watched a few. The Jennifer McGuire series have popped up a lot and I have been enjoying those immensely. So today I will be showing off what I made after watching her Color Blocking Techniques video (I'll put the link at the end of this post). I had a ton of fun and made some wonderful cards.
The supplies I picked to try out this technique, I had either not used in a long time or had never used before. I pulled out the 6 Vivid stamp pads that I have had since the beginning of my card making, back about 22 years ago. The tree stamp I have had for about 15 years and the cute girls under the umbrella and on the bike I bought a few years ago second hand and have never used. This was a great opportunity to bring them out and play.
This technique was fun and playful and the cards turned out nice and bright. I will try it again using some of the deeper colours in my collection to compare the finished results. The white embossing stands out beautifully against the vivid colours and it will be interesting to see how it looks on other colours.
Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPRqVbCZ6OY&list=LLrPw3KR7TMCTKUPVvRy-_3g&index=7&t=0s
Hope you are having a lovely spring!

Dot Mandala Painting
Good morning. I am back for more computer torture and will attempt to shrink my pictures again today with a quick post on some dot mandala painting I attempted. As I said yesterday, I am very much a beginner at this painting technique but have enjoyed the process and the finished product.
When out at Zoo's last year, we had purchased dowels of every size from her local hardware store. I cut a piece about 3-4 inches in length from each of them for both of us. When doing my first attempts at home a couple months ago, I could not find my dowels and ended up using small corks from the Dollar Store and pen ends to do my wing-it trial pieces. So the pictures from yesterdays post were done with found objects in my craft room (except the last photo, which was done last month at Zoo's with freshly cut dowels and things).
Having cut new dowels and following a beginner YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rub1aoqnuFY&index=19&list=LLrPw3KR7TMCTKUPVvRy-_3g&t=0s) away I went. It took me a bit of time to figure out what size dowel would work for the sizes of dots in this woman's videos but after a piece or two I was getting the hang of it.
When I returned home from out West, I made a few cards with the small squares of dot painting I had done. They were quick and easy to make and turned out cute.
Practicing on the small black pieces of paper prepared me for the next day's rock painting with Zoo and her sister.
I know I will do more dot mandala painting in the future and will watch additional Shwetart03's videos to inspire and teach me how to do better.
Have a great weekend!

Embossing Powder on mailing labels
Hello. Long time no see. I have been making cards like crazy these past few weeks. I have lifted Zoo's ban on making cards while she is indisposed. Life has done a serious number on her and her family and during this tragic time I am trying to be creative while being distracted at the same time. So cards have been pouring out.
In keeping with my theme of using up old stuff and things I haven't used, I dug out some things I had made with stickers and embossing powder. Zoo had sent a YouTube video about it and one day last year I decided to give it a go. I must say it was fun but I had only used one of them for my great niece's birthday card (no picture, sorry). So I decided to do up some cards with the rest of the embossed stickers.
Embossing powder and mailing labels video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl7W8VmOIwI&list=LLrPw3KR7TMCTKUPVvRy-_3g&index=42
The premise of the video is to place stickers and things onto the sticky side of a mailing label and then pour embossing powder over the remainder of the sticky space, heat it and then use the decorated label in a card. I used kids letter stickers, cork letter stickers, flower stickers, self adhesive bling designs, old corner stickers and on some I only used the embossing powder on the whole sticky label. The labels I used were from a roll of large mailing labels that I cut in half. Each cut one is about 3" x 2 1/2".
These are some of the finished labels...

The finished cards turned out sweet. I will list the names of the embossing powders used but most of the stickers I have had in my box for ever, so I don't know where I bought them or what brands they are. A lot of the letter ones came from Dollarama. I also used some washi tapes, that was on my list of things to try out.
Stampin Up - Iridescent Ice Powder
Masterpiece Stamping (all of these brands I purchased over 20 years ago) - White {The embossed background is a botched piece that Zoo and I were experimenting with. We were trying to use embossing powders with embossing folders and it was not working. As I never throw anything out... years later I found a pretty way of using up the mistake, yay!}
Stampin Up - Pewter
Personal Stamp Exchange -Topiary Tapestry (the little corner stickers used in this piece came from a Dollarama kiddie scrapbook. The stickers would have had to have been glued on, as they were not very sticky but placing them on a sticker worked like a charm. I like the mosaic tile look when done)
Stampin Up - Pewter (Just a note to say the self adhesive bling stars and things started to melt when I heat embossed the powder. I managed to flatten them out for the most part but thought I should warn you)
Masterpiece Stamping - black
Personal Stamp Exchange - Claret Tapestry and Bridal, Stampin up - Iridescent Ice
Stampin up - Iridescent Ice, Masterpiece Stamping - Black, Stampin Up - Pewter
Stampin up - Iridescent Ice, Stampin Up - Pewter, Masterpiece Stamping - Gold
Personal Stamp Exchange's - Claret Tapestry, Topiary Tapestry and Cobalt Tapestry
Stampin Up - Pewter, Masterpiece Stamping - Gold, Personal Stamp Exchange - Copper
Personal Stamp Exchange's - Topiary Tapestry and Cobalt Tapestry, and Copper
Well I hope you have enjoyed this post. I will try and get a few more done. It is a nice way to wrap up the end of a card making session and will archive some of the different things I have been working on. I will work on my computer avoidance tendency in order to accomplish this feat : )
