It's a Kell-of-a-mess: February!

 Hey friends!

It's another edition of my monthly series:  Kell-of-a-mess!

And today, we're playing in the trash!

This is a spin off of a creative vision I had years ago

to create any card/project with a MESSY theme.

A very busy life kept me away for a bit but I'm back and 

oh. the. ideas. I. have!

February's edition is a Trash To Treasure created from

going through the mail to sort junk mail from important things.

I tend to toss junk mail immediately to avoid messess + clutter (meh!)

but this one piece caught my eye ~ the groovy designs and fun colors!

Here is the video version! 👇

 Where did the mess come in?

Stamping on waxy junk mail envelope paper was like 

trying to hike Everest in a pair of flip-flops!

It just would not DRY, even leaving it overnight to do it's thang :)

Eventually we came to an understanding, LOL ...

I put it outside, it dried in the sun, we were friends.

I used Waffle Flower Crafts Bouquet Builder stamps and dies

and Memento Tuxedo Black ink for a bold look.

Other than the card base and sentiment (Pinkfresh Studios)

the rest of this card is bits + pieces of the front/back of the mailer.

So this card started as this!

There are so many ways to play creatively with art

AND combine them with cardmaking.

I'm excited for what this year holds!

See you next time!
