2017 Valentine's Day Cards

I watched a video tutorial over at Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog about masking and gelli plates.  Here's the link.  http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/2017/01/blogiversary-tutorial-redo-double-masked-gelatin-prints.html  I have done a similar technique before. I  added some very light stenciling on the blue portion.  I used a white Signo pen to make the dots around the heart and the lines on the sides of the blue background. Since I love the Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs stamps so much I decided to make a doggie Valentine's Day card!  I stamped the doggie on watercolor paper with black ink and clear embossed the image.  I used the matching dies to cut out the image.  I watercolored the image with Gelatos and Distress Crayons. The sticker is from the Tim Holtz Big Chat stickers.  Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Man's Best Friend ATC Swap

On the artisttradingcards yahoo group, I'm hosting a "man's best friend" ATC swap.  I used stencils and acrylic paint for the background.  The dog stamp is by Tim Holtz.  The words are Tim Holtz chit chat stickers. I added little jewel hearts.  I love dogs!
