Rainbow raindrops

Hello, it’s Michelle here today with a colorful rainbow raindrops card!

We are in the middle of  Winter down here in Australia, it is raining  and looks like rain all week so I had raindrops on my mind.

I started with the Scattered Showers stencil and various colors of Catherine Pooler Inks.  After I removed the stencil, I used the ink left on the brushes to go over my stenciling.

I used the Raindrops Duo set to stamp the sentiment and die cut the clouds and lightening bolt.

Don't forget there's a HUGE SALE going on until the end of the month!

Look for the Rainbow!

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here today sharing  a few rainbow cards.

With everything going on in the world today I thought we could all do with looking at some pretty rainbow colors.

For my first card I've used the Partly Cloudy Stencil and Catherine Pooler inks from the Party Collection.  I added some glitter to the rainbow to make it sparkle!  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Raindrops Duo set.  You could also color in the word Rainbow on the sentiment but I decided to keep it simple.

For my second card I've used the Scattered Showers Stencil and the same sentiment.  This time I colored in the Rainbow sentiment.

Rainbow Foiled Raindrops

Welcome back!  I've got a quick fun card for you today.  I had foiled the raindrops on a background panel with some beautiful new Deco Foil, but I messed up part of it and decided to die cut a heart from it.

Turned out it was perfect to use along with sentiments from the Raindrops Duo!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you enjoyed it and come again soon!

You Can't Have a Glitzy Rainbow Without A Little Gel

Hi all!  I'm sharing with you a glitzy rainbow today!  I just love the Duo's Stamp/Die Combos!  Today I used the Raindrops Duo Stamp Set along with the Scattered Showers Stencil with a bit of glitz!

I started with a mini slimline panel and sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray to keep it in place.

I chose three colors knowing that as they blended I'd have 5... the yellow and pink would make orange and the pink and blue would make purple!  So if you don't have all of the colors in the rainbow... you can still create a rainbow!

So pretty, right??

Nothing a little Glitz Glitter Gel can't make even better!  I love the Iridescent because it allows the colors beneath it to show through...

While the background dried, I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto a strip of Copic friendly paper and colored in the blocked Rainbow word.  I matted it with black.

One of the pinked circles from the Pinked Slimline die set was perfect cut in white glitter paper as an embellishment underneath the sentiment strip!  A few sequins and I was done!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon for more CAS-ual Fridays inspiration!

Some Pretty Posies and Gel Print Seconds!

Welcome back!  A short while ago, I shared a project I created using a background I made with a gel plate.  Today I'm sharing a print I made during the same session with leftovers on my Gel Plate... I just grabbed a panel and lifted them right off of the plate leaving a really distressed version of the stenciled raindrops from the Scattered Showers stencil!

I decided it would be the perfect backdrop for these Pretty Posies and that Everyday Dragonfly that I embossed in gold!  I added some Glossy Accent drops to the blooms because they've been rained on of course and added a few clear bubbles around them.

Finally, that sentiment from the Raindrops Duo stamp set was just right!  I just stamped it onto some white cardstock and trimmed it down.

I used a couple of my very favorite Copic combos on this one!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Under the Weather - Gelli Printing Plate

Welcome back!  We've just come off of an awesome week of New Release inspiration and I hope you enjoyed it!  I decided this month I'm going to play with my Gelli Printing Plate and take you on the journey with me...lol!  I haven't used mine in a while... I had played a bunch and learned a lot from my friend Jean quite a while ago, but hadn't gone back to it since.  Today I decided the new Scattered Showers Stencil and some beautiful paints I have in my stash.

I pulled out my 5x7 Gelli plate and brayer and laid down some of the Folk Art Acrylic in Emerald Green Metallic and Deco Art Glorious Gold Metallic also Acrylic and spread it with the brayer over the plate. 

I let the colors mix until I got the blend I wanted.

So pretty right... and it would probably be perfect just like that.

But I decided to add some raindrops with the Scattered Showers stencil.

I placed a die cut panel over it and applied pressure up and down and peeled it off... the result was pretty cool... but... turns out also cool was what was left!

I was look at at the leftovers and thought what the heck and placed another piece of paper I had sitting there over it and it turned out to be my favorite of the night (so you'll see the other another time)

I just loved the light distressed look this one had and the way that the gold that was gathered at the edges of the stencil created a shadow of sorts... so I let it dry completely and then die cut it and it became my base.

I decided the gold glitter paper clouds and raindrops were just right as an accessory and chose these two sentiments all from from the new Raindrops duo (I love these new mini stamp and die sets!!!)

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need some more metallic paints... I use mine quite a bit and I have a feeling I'm gonna end up emptying out a couple containers this month!
