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

 

Hi friends!




It's time for another edition of Kell-of-a-mess!

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!


This month, I have a collab!




Here's a quick recap of the process shortened into 40 seconds!

-


My granddaughter was visiting and wanted 'to do the art things!'

No doubt she is my grandchild!

But in true Kelly form, I couldn't let her leftover paint go to waste.

I recycled it by dipping heavyweight (this part is important!)

cardstock into the paint and let it dry.  

Distress watercolor cardstocks are perfect, too!








For best results, let is dry overnight and then stamp directly onto it.

I used Taylored Epxressions Daisy Dreams stamp and die set.

This has been in my stash awhile and never gets used!


After die cutting and building a card base,

 3 incredibly unique and fun card blossomed!


Again ~ messy but fun!

I absolutely adore the idea of being able to USE something

instead of just TOSS IT in the trash :)

Here they are together:



Thanks for stopping by!
