Good People

It's Tuesday, and CASology brings us a new challenge with the cue word of PLASTIC.

Here's what inspired my creative process  ....

Isn't it wonderful to have interactions with people that restore your hope in humanity?!

My watch was accidentally put through the wash cycle and it is not a waterproof watch.  I took it to my watch repair man (also known as a horologist - had to look that up on Google!).  He dried it out and cleaned it all up. When I asked how much, he said, "Nothing". I wanted to make him a thank you note and was so happy when I came across this sentiment in my brand new Stampin' Up Lasting Lily set.

Even though I didn't use clock hands, I thought the acetate window gives the feeling of a glass front to a watch.

Come and see the FUNKY creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Mandala Wishes

I'm using more new stash again ... Distress Brushes and the lovely Altenew Acetate Butterflies.

I began by sponging (and Distress brushing) behind the Mandala die. I wanted to match the butterfly to the red/orange center, so I took the clear one and coloured with Copics. To clear up the lines made by the markers, I put some blending solution on the felt and dabbed to blend the colours.  I used a earbud with blending solution to wipe up the edges.

I organised my Distress Brushes in Rainbow order - plus brown. I used Copics to mark a circle on the end, and washi tape around the bases. Makes it easy to find the one I want.

Wish

It's almost as if I'm going through my supplies and taking turns to use them ... this time it's Alcohol Inks AND acetate with a new movers and shapers die. I bought it without realising that you have to have the base plate. Well, I improvised and got it to work. Yay. 

I used Stream and Citrus Alcohol inks on the acetate, then did the die cut.
