The first thing I wanted to tackle was the American Crafts/Amy Tangerine Stitched "Thrifted" paper.
I thought washi tape would create those slanted stripes perfectly with just a little bit of effort.
What do you think? (I usually like mine better than the original, lol!)
Next up: Jillibean Soup Mini-Die Cut kraft tags
Easy-peasy! Who says I need a Silhouette or a Cameo? (ME!)
I think I'll save that piece on the left - you never know when it may come in handy! (hehe)
Now the transparent printed "Bella Rouge" letters from Pink Paislee.
I looked in my digi stash for a striped patterned paper & made it black & white.
I cropped & printed it 8-1/2" by 11" on transparency paper,
then started over but rotated it 90* first.
I will use my Sizzix "Funky Brush" dies to cut out the letters!
Like so!
What should have been the easiest forgery turned out to be the toughest.
The B side of the Heidi Swapp/September Skies "Afternoon Breeze" paper.
I had this stencil & the perfect colors of paint...
Epic fail! It was sloppy & ugly - Plan B - mist.
Second section I forgot to cover the first section - overspray...
Then I just flipped the stencil to get rid of the excess mist on the paper. Ugh.
Next try? Colored pencils...
Just not the look I wanted.
BUT! When I cleaned the mist off the stencil with a baby wipe?
I got these pretties! They went right into my kit when dry :~)
So! Pick your absolutely favorite thing in the inspiration kit & go for it!
We have a great library of past tutorials to browse through & be inspired.
Let me know you stopped by :)
