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:

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

 Hi friends!

How about another session of messy card creating adventures!

I adore art and creating in crazy new ways 

and adding in a little messy fun ...

hence the title of this series from last year:

Kell-of-a-mess!

Once upon a time, I had lots of ideas for groups

but had to step away to my busy, wonderful life journey.

My schedule freed up a wee bit 

so I've revisited some of my old stompin' grounds ...

like messy art!

And wow was this one ever so ...

my fingers and hands had mica powder for a whole day!

I used the Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals

to create a few backgrounds.

I've used the PandM and Ken Oliver but gurrrrrl.

These are shimmer and potent!

When gramma used to say "Honey, a little goes a long way!'

now I get it. 

Just a dash of this and SHAZAM!

Lots of color, lots of sparkle and shimmah! 

For this card, I used 2 different sets and matched my cardstock

to the colors pulled from the background.

This adorable All Inside stamp set from Ellen Hutson

and it will be a cute Valentine to mail 💜
