Experiementing with Deco Foil with Colleen

So we got a slow start today and we have been doing some experimenting.  Using Deco Foil is very tricky and too labor intensive for us.  This is the second time we have given it a try and I think have come up with the same conclusion.  I think using Glimmer paper is easier to do. 

Sorry about the terrible picture, but the foil shows all the reflections in it.  We also played with the Distress Crayons a bit.  They are so smooth and creamy and go on very well.

Today is the final day of crafting with my BFF.  We have had so much fun together.

She is actually riding home with me because her husband, daughter and granddaughter left for Seattle today for a Volleyball Camp.  She will meet up with them Friday night.  So at least we have one more day together and it will be nice having company on my way back home. 

Second card is a new stamp set for me by Lawn Fawn which I colored yesterday.

Playing with Floral Sketches

Wanted to play with this stamp set to see if I needed it.  Not sure if I do or not.  It is pretty but I have a lot of flowers and this seemed a little harder to line up.   It was probably just me.

SAF 2016 Farewell

What a great SAF this year with my BFF, Colleen.  We always have so much fun together and learn from each other.  She may be good at one technique and I may be good at another.  We were not able to do 2 techniques, Melissa's Impression card and the Splats by Lizzie.  Colleen had ordered Floral Sketches and we thought it was going to be here by today but it didn't come and we couldn't get the big splats to work on Lizzie's technique.  We tried several different stamp sets for Melissa's card, but just couldn't get them to work.  Colleen's order is supposed to come in tomorrow so we will try again.  Maybe this just isn't out thing.

Thanks PTI for a great SAF.....

Make It Monday with Melissa #256 Spritzing Stamps

 

Tried with 3 other stamp sets, but didn't work very well so went with the one's Melissa used  Check out her video here, MIM 

I had trouble with how much water to spritz.  The second card is my first attempt (well not the first) which didn't have enough water, so tried again with the first card above with better water coverage.  Decided I still should use both cards.
