Hello friends!
Today's card is one of the 4 new messes I made this weekend :)
As part of the Hot Mess Success card group,
we make messy cards!
The idea behind the card group is that we make cards with different
messy backgrounds!
I'm not a messy person by nature but with art ~ I don't mind.
My motto: The messier, the better!
For me, I'm not a big card CASE-r and I don't watch videos to create ...
I literally toss things together and see what sticks!
I love the organics of art ~ combining, playing, experimenting
and just letting it do it's thing naturally and see what happens.
Like this month!
My card started out with a simple watercolor background - easy peasy, right?
And, once it dried, I thought it needed something extra :)
I was never one to leave things alone, LOL!
I had a tub of Nuvo glacier paste and it was calling. my. name!
I bought a couple of stencils from Scrapbook.com, including this Altenew half-tone stencil, and used it as a base.
The paste is easy to spread with a spatula and gives such great texture!
The paste is easy to spread with a spatula and gives such great texture!
It did have to dry overnight since it's pretty goopy and this does not set with a heat gun.
It's so sparkly and pretty! I love the subtle hint of glitter from the Nuvo paste and could see this on a lot of cards!
Here are the ladies playing along:
Kelly (you're here!)
We'll be posting our Anything Goes cards every 1
2th of the month which means messy! Woohoo!
Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ....
