Gel Medium Fabric Transfer...OH FLIP!
Picture this...I'm sitting here alone tonight with my Cinderella collage images in one hand and my castle images in the other...yes I'm participating in Lenna Andrews' Brothers Grim Collage Swap sponsored by the generous Leslie Elledge at Alpha Stamps.
Okay...so I'm sitting here with my castle images and some plain fabric thinking now how am I going to incorporate these two and before I knew it I slathered some gel medium on the printed image, slapped the piece of fabric on it and brayered it together. After about a minute, I pulled the paper off and there was this freakin' cool transfer. I shouted "Oh Flip!" and Ginger looked at me like "what now you dork?"
This transfer is so simple, I can't believe that I haven't done it before. Now I am so excited to work on the next phase tomorrow night which will include the Cinderella collage sheet images I chose from AlphaStamps and who knows what will ensue from there. Can you figure out which AS images are going with these backgrounds? If you haven't tried this technique before...get going sister! You won't regret it! Not to brag, but aren't they stunning? :)) Good ole' beginners luck...gotta love it! Hugs, Carol

Row Houses for Paper Whimsy Swap
I told you a few posts ago that I absolutely had a blast creating homes for my little Whimsy friends. The talented Kathy Wasilewski is hosting this swap and it is 7:7. I have a couple of personal 1:1 swaps pre-arranged so here are the uber-cool houses I made. I have seen many of the other houses created and they are all top-notch! Whooppee! Do you like them?
