#the100dayproject : 2022 : 18/100 - you're the sweetest

i added the smiling, happy pineapple to the bottom right corner of the panel, using pop dots to raise him up a little for added dimension. i used black ink to stamp the sentiment "you're the sweetest" near the top left of the panel. then, the entire panel was adhered to a red-orange card base, coordinating with the color of the pineapple's maracas.

#the100dayproject : 2022 : 5/100 - ah yeah

in one of the crafty groups i'm in, someone showed a card they created and used their finger to wipe the wax over the embossed area. i decided to try the same thing. i made four of these cards and i feel like several of them have more of the gold tinted wax than others. i tried to get it into all the nooks and crannies of the design before treating it with a matte finish protectant so that it wouldn't wipe off. i thought the red-orange envelope worked well.

i also managed to pick up a limited edition stamp set with a recent purchase and i have to admit, it might be the cutest thing i've seen in awhile. [i know i said that yesterday, but this is a new, different set that's adorable in a whole quarantine kinda way.]

#the100dayproject : handmade card 77/100-2 : out with the old
Posted by Kerry Wills on
one thing that i love about sketches is the freedom of interpretation. i liked the layout of this design, but decided to flip the narrow [pink] strip 90 degrees so that it would be horizontal. i also eliminated the small scattered circles, ideally gems or sequins. ordinarily i would've kept them but i decided the patterns i selected to use had enough shine and bling!
