Cat cut a bird out of a magazine. I am not good at that. So I used the flower punch that was sitting on the desk, and one of my wipe off cards. It looks Halloweenish!! Well, it's October. It is sad that I didn't use tons of care with this and do it like she did, but it will remind me of the technique. I love doing silhouettes. On these teensy cards with magazine paper? It didn't appeal to me.
#25, Ransom Note Letters
Not in order!! This started out as a wipe off card, and the circles were excess paint that I just needed to use. When I saw #25, Ransom Note letters the background jumped at me and "smile" was the word to use. So there it is. I have used words, but not just letters, and this is so cute, and made me smile.
Funny, though. I am doing these FOR ME. But I feel slightly guilty doing them out of order. So THAT makes me smile. I am a rebel LOL
This one is now #26, stencils. I started trying to do those painted circles that Cat did but they looked horrible. But a stencil on top and voila!! I love it. Goes to show you, often one more layer transforms stuff. Not always. I have thrown stuff away, especially that one that the masks pulled off the tape. Right after that, I found the masking paper. I don't know if that would work either. Maybe if you mod podge over the paint first before you stencil? Things to learn. Of course with this one, it's a firm stencil, not paper, and when I taped it down, I taped it to the table, not to the paper.
The trouble with doing something that you really like, such as this, is that I couldn't ever duplicate it, because usually if I try to, it is a fail...
