GELLI PLATE WRAPPING PAPER!
Dropped in my tracks AGAIN! when I saw this wrapping paper project using Gelli plates!!! I see us doing this in our future.
I just so happen to have several Gelli Plates and Stampendous' version called Creative Pallet. I know you're not surprised! I'm almost seeing this as a special class project held at the Library. I'll give this some further thought. Your input would be most welcome!

AND if that project isn't awesome enough, look further for a project with used baby wipes!!!! Who knew??? I'm in recycle heaven right now!!!!

MORE ON PARTIAL STAMPING!
Splitcoast had a cool tutorial this past week that on first glance looks like partial stamping, but it isn't!!!! It's one of those, 'now why didn't I think of that' moments...

Dina Kowal was actually showing palette blending with Zig Markers, so there's useful tips on watercolor blending. Hope you give this a try! Any watercolor medium will work.

SPEAKING OF RECYCLING...
How about used tea bag art???? This needs no further explanation. Don't shoot the messenger!

PAPER ARTS CLUB

September 28, 2016

Swap: October themes - leaves, autumn colors, pumpkins, baren trees, Halloween
Everson: Halloween
SOTM: Watercolor Strips

At our last Club meeting, we created an awesome watercolor card that began with a 2-1/2 x 5 inch strip of watercolor paper, 4 Distress ink cubes, an Andy Skinner tree stamp, and the Misti. I've put the tutorial on my blog, so just click on the photo below for the link.

We added a Maya Road bird charm to the twine as a sweet little accent.

As I was trolling Pinterest yesterday, I saw this one-layer Penny Black card by Jill Foster that is similar to my card. I thought you'd enjoy seeing her video. (I swear I didn't case it for my card!)

If you can, take a moment to watch Jill's video of how she created this card. You will drop everything and want to paint it!!!

I couldn't wait to play with Jill's technique! I ended up using all Distress markers even in the rectangle. The leaves are inked with Vintage Photo and spritzed prior to stamping. I masked off the rectangle using Eclipse paper, but a sticky note would work as well. Can't wait to try the deer and bird versions of her card!
