Hi friends ~
I'm home!
My husband has been in the hospital for almost a week
and I stayed with him right by his side.
That meant missing everything outside the hospital walls,
including the beginning of summer and about 15 cards/blog posts.
But we are now home and he's recovering
and I'm trying to navigate the balance of where I left off
and where I need to be.
I did manage to make some time to craft while he slept today.
In fact, I made a MESS!
It's another edition of the Hot Mess = Success card
and I KNOW I say every month that THAT month was the messiest ....
but .....
this one just might have take the messiest award :)
It's summer ....... it's HOT!
Remember how we'd cool off with squirt guns?
We called them water (squirt) guns and
We use them in the pool and backyard and just goof off with them :)
I had an idea .... summer water blasters!
I thought "use them to watercolor with!"
So I did :)
Here's the video!
For now, here's what I started with:
I'm in LOVE with the flamingo!
And here is the final a couple of the panels that you'll see
on the video once it's up.
I made quite a few and just chose this one at random
and you'll see more with different colors and patterns soon!
I decided to use a die cut letter "K"
thinking of the thank you cards I need to send.
K = Kindness!
fab backgrounds and beautiful cards Kelly

Loving these Kelly, and the technique looks to be such fun. I have never seen such small water blasters! Our smallest ones are in a pistol shape too, not just straight barrels like those. :)
