First Stampfest in the Condo

 

Lynette came over to visit us at the condo yesterday. It was her first visit here! We had a wonderful time visiting and stamping.  She graciously catered to my wish to make Valentines. She brought a big tablet of 12 x12" Valentine printed papers for us to use.

Lynette made these cards. The background and the "hugs and kisses" strips are from the printed papers she brought. The heart die cuts are from my stash.

The printed paper Lynette brought was perfect! I had been thinking of stamping my own background. Using her paper for backgrounds made this quick and easy. The Love stamp is from a small Hero Arts February stamp set.

Lynette left early. I continued working on my cards and  made four more cards.

Used a printed paper scrap from my stash for this background. The heart was cut with a Gina K Master Layouts 4 die. The sentiment is from Gina K's Fluttering Fall stamp set. I stamped with Distress Black Soot ink and used clear embossing powder on it.

Thanks for visiting!

Peace and all good!

Delayed Post...Fabric Painting on T-shirt

In the summer of 2022 I pulled out some t-shirts from my stash and did some fabric painting. There were some really hot days and that inspired me to make these t-shirts sleeveless. I had fun trying to  paint flowers on these t-shirts. I used some old flower painted t-shirts as a guide. I need to have a sample! These were comfy when I was pulling weeds from the flower beds. I had not played with painting shirts in years and years.

Before painting, I altered the t-shirts, making two of them sleeveless.

I used Acrylic Paints mixed with Fabric Medium. A lot of my paints had dried out, so I bought a few more bottles from the craft store. 

I made a few variations on the layout of the placement of the flowers and leaves.

 

This blouse has short sleeves. I can wear it year round!

Thanks for visiting!

Peace and all Good!
