An Adventure

Howdy Paper Crafters!

Here's a project I worked on recently where I used the Journey Gel Press for the background.

I mixed a little Journey Acrylic Paint (Blue Lagoon) with our Journey Molding Paste and a little spritz of water.  Once I had that mixed on the gel press, I used my spatula to move the color around a little to get some blank areas to soften the background before laying my cardstock down.  Wherever you scrape away the paint & paste it leaves a blank spot on your cardstock.  In this case, I used whip cream cardstock so I was left with some white spots.  Perfect for the sky.  Then, to cut down on the texture just a bit I swirled my finger through the paint on the cardstock.  Now it looks even more like sky.  This piece was layered on a piece of whip cream cardstock sponged with Lovely Blue True Fusion Ink around the edges and that was layered on the Rock Candy cardstock . The bottom layer is Blue Lagoon cardstock cut & folded to a quarter sheet.  I used our cloud die cuts for the clouds;   I stamped the the plane with Black Licorice True Fusion Ink and fussy cut it.  I used my craft knife to cut out a few  of the inner areas.  I stamped a sentiment in Black Licorice ink on whip cream cardstock and flagged one end.  All the elements were popped up with Journey foam dots for a little dimension. Lastly, I added Journey Sparkle Silk & Silver Silk for a little more of that mixed media look.

Hope you like my card today. Stop back soon!

Fusion Vibes Sale

Now is a great time to buy our ink pads. Why are they called True Color Fusion you ask. Well, let me tell you. True Fusion is not just the blend, but the fusion of dye ink and pigment ink.  That makes these inks very special! You can use watercolor and alcohol markers with these little babies and you can stamp on a wide variety of mediums. I had to test them for myself to believe it. You would think Iwas born in Missouri (the show me state). LOL! I was completely amazed! Since I have done the testing for you, technically Richard did the testing first :-), you don't need to. Trust me (us). You are going to love, love, love these ink pads. Don't wait, the sale is only good until the end of the month. You can order them in my online store. Let me know if you have any questions!

Have a great day!
