Hi everyone! I've been very sick this month, but am finally able to share the remainder of my projects for my Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps Guest Designer spot. I decided to create some journaling cards, after finding a really neat old wooden recipe box, and thinking it would be great to pull one out from time to time for daily inspiration. I'm sharing a quickie video on my gel printing methods using my Gel Press printing plate and neon paints HERE.
I used the gorgeous Floral Doily Stencil by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps for my printing and neon paints from Michaels, mixed with a little Folk Art Acrylic in white.
I added some doodling with my Posca white paint pen and then proceeded to layer my torn gel printed papers with stamping. For this first card I focused on the awesome Grace stamp from the Choose Faith stamp set.
I actually printed on some upcycled tabbed dividers and thought it was fun to incorporate the tabs into the design. I added some layers with washi tape and staples. I tucked in a stamped and die cut image from the Be A Wildflower set, which I just smudged neon yellow paint onto with my finger.
On my next card, I stamped the tiny leaf silhouette to make some faux washi and added one of the beautiful Hope Word Art sentiments. I did a little stamping in Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide in the background for a hint of blue and gave everything a splash of watery black gesso. I mounted the cards onto black cardstock for stability, used a corner punch, then edged in black ink. I really look forward to building my collection of cards in my recipe box and drawing out daily inspiration.
I hope these cards have inspired you today and you'll take a look at the inspiring products available on the Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps website! xx, Autumn
