Indigo Thank You Card

Sometimes a simple Thank You holds the biggest impact.

Say Thank You often.
Do it with a simple, handmade card. Like I did using the new Kaisercraft Indigo Skies I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella.


The Prima Glue Pen makes it so easy to put together your card!
Just take off the cap, rub a little on your paper and stick it where you want!


Thank you for stopping by and checking out my Card.

KaiserCraft Misty Mountains 2 Pager

     Hello and welcome back! Drea with the FotoBella Design Team, and I was so excited to open my new KaiserCraft Misty Mountains Bundle from FotoBella.com! My first project with this GORGEOUS collection is a 2 pager featuring the papers and diecuts.



     The stickers that spell morning were so old from my own stash, that they lost their stickiness completely, and the glue stick I used to apply them also wasn't sticking. Then I remembered getting the Prima Marketing My Prima Planner Glue Pen along with my bundle, and it adhered perfectly!




     I did my journaling onto masked notebook paper, blending Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks, to mimic the sunrise.



     
     Have you spotted the major mistake I made on the second page? It wasn't until I was looking at my uploaded photos, when I realized that I adhered the bottom photo upside down. Of course it also has sheer ribbon, from my own stash, glued to it, along with all of the other diecuts, and was the only copy I had previously printed. I'm sure there's negatives around somewhere, but for now, it is what it is. Lol! 



     Thanks for looking, and get your KaiserCraft Misty Mountain Bundle at FotoBella.com!

Prima Marketing French Riviera ATC's

     Hello FotoBella Fans! Have you tried any of the fabulous pastes from Prima Marketing? There's so many great textures and effects you can add to any project, and they clean up so easily! Drea here with the Design Team, and I made a set of ATC's with some Prima Marketing Patina Effect Paste and Rust Paste Camouflage Set, featuring some French Riviera Stamps and the Anchor and Shell Stencil from FotoBella.com.



     I started by coating some playing cards with Prima Marketing White Gesso, and then spraying with Broken China and Cracked Pistachio Distress Spray Stains. With a Dabbing Brush, I applied Patina Effect Paste to the Shell and Anchor Stencil, using all three colors from the set. Then I added sand to the bottom of  the shell and anchor cards, with Dusty from the Rust Paste Camouflage Set, and really love the results! 




          All of the stamping was done with Ranger's Jet Black Archival Ink, using the French Riviera 4 X 6 Cling and French Riviera #2 Stamps. I decided NOT to color my stamping, for a black and white effect with the ocean colors, except for a few touches on the card below, that I painted with Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain. Then I popped up some of the fussy cut pieces for some dimension. 



      The bubbles were created with the same stencil using white gesso, topped with a coat of Sprinkled Sugar Stickles for some sparkle.  



     Each card is backed with a piece of torn white cardstock, and the edges colored with Broken China and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks. Finally, I hand-stitched the twine to the netting, that I recycled from some fruit. 



     Thanks for looking, and shop FotoBella.com for these supplies and more!
