WOYWW 598- More than one...Restraint

 WOYWW?

I used to do a lot of swaps and mingles, and every time I would go through the same cycle of forgetting and them remembering how much I don't enjoy making  multiples.

i've made more cards than ever, and each one is different, and I fell in love with this sentiment so ...

I'm enjoying the restraint of the postcard- can't go overboard with layers and embellishments .

You can see that

here.

and

Here in the states we are looking to a pandemic Thanksgiving- not knowing if I will be able to be with my children or not, holding back (more restraint) on preparation incase not.

Thankful for being together will all of you each Wednesday!

WOYWW- 597 - A sigh of relief- Cards and Cutting abound!

WOYWW? 

Hey Y'all Robyn here, breathing many sighs of relief.

I've never made so many cards ever!

I treated myself to a new die cut machine, and don't know why I waited so long!

Exciting news is even tho Suzanne is no longer retailing her own stamps and products,

they live on and this week is a release of new dies!

More on that here.

Painting and pasting has kept me sane these last few years.

WYOWW friends get you thorough times of stress too!

Thanks to all of you for visiting and inviting me to your place!

and it about killed me to only feature one on the Home is the Heart of life ATC.

Please visit  Quietfire Digital for details

Exclusive to Deskers!

The stenciled hearts- use your stencil brush to add ink to the hearts through the stencil, then dab on some Versamark, and with the stencil still in place, sprinkle on the embossing powder so it builds up. You can pat it down a bit with a spoon,

Carefully remove the stencil and heat from underneath.

Then you can go whole hog by applying wink of stella and glossy accents!

(or not)

TIA for visiting and your kind words! I'm off to see the world via WOYWW!

Pick a Stick Challenge - February 2016

February has brought cold winds 

and 

a new Pick a Stick Challenge!

The challenge is to create a "page" using all of the prompts chosen in order.

 My ATC using all the elements

front

and back

1.  My die cut, Calligraphic Elements I, from A Way With Words By Elizabeth Craft Designs is freezer paper used as a mask, watercolored and then peeled off.
2. "The flourish moving through my heart can open it or rip it apart"
3. No foil, so I used gold leaf bits, adhered with DecoArt Decou-Page matte, my new fave medium.
4. Cut the tiny heart with a hole punch.
5. Rubbed DecoArt Metallic Luster on a metal charm and adhered with the Deco Page- seems to be hold well!
6. No gel prints, so I cut the little hearts from my never ending stash of paste papers! Added a drop of Triple Thick for gloss.
7. The napkin( the weird blobs on the top and bottom and on to the back of the card) had a flower print when I put them on- yes more Decou-page.Added a bit to the back of the cut out heart.
8. I got a bit carried away. Some of all the above !
9. Calligraphic Wings by Quietfire. Wish they stood out more- should have embossed them. Every heart deserves wings!
10. Working to bring out the flower on the napkin, I added paint and drew in it. Oh well. It is what it is!

I'm sticking to my ATC , and them journaling page format. It works for me.

The inspiration of all in the group is worth the price of participation !
