Checking The Sky!

I created these two cards using alcohol inks on Yupo paper. I saw on Andrea's blog Snippets By Andrea) that she has created some GORGEOUS Northern Lights cards, and I wanted to make some. (Thank you Andrea!) Hers are way better than these, and she has reference to a video on how she created them. This was my first attempt with Yupo and alcohol inks, so I was learning on the job! I  used a Tim Holtz die for the tree's. Although these didn't turn out how I wanted, I am still happy with them. I think I prefer the top card as it has more sky area. So much to learn, and so much fun along the way! I splattered on some white Posca pen to the sky to finish the cards. Oh! I've just realized, these are NOT the correct photos I have uploaded!  I baked the cards on some black card stock as they looked better. Oops!  

.

And this is what happened to my fingers! Yes, I have gloves I could have worn, but I really don't like how they feel. Even though they are surgical gloves that fit rally well, I prefer to sue my fingers! So here below is how my fingers ended up!

Not to worry, I used these to clean my hands.

I have them in two sizes, and below is what the packaging looks like.  They also clean marks off shoes, bags etc, as well as cleaning tea/coffee stains from your tea cup. I use them for crafting as well. If you have used Distress Oxide inks on your cards, if you make the sponge damp (not wet, just damp) then lightly wipe he sponge over the card, the Distress Oxide inks will kind of blend/soften and look sort of misty.

And wo minutes after using the sponge on my hands, below is what my hands looked like! I buy the sponges from my local $2 Shop. but you can also get them from the supermarket,  but they are more expensive there.

The following photos are a few I have taken of interesting cloud formations/colours.  The sky is forever changing, which is great because I get lots of opportunities to take photos!

Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
