I have a video today for this hop! This "faux glaze" on the cup I created with the spatter image (doesn't that look just like those spotty multicolored drippy pieces of pottery?), and I also used it to make my own patterned paper mixed with the bold eucalyptus from Fill it With Flowers. I used the linen texture on the tag. This new incentive goes with *everything*, get it free now with a qualifying order (or for 10.95 when it goes into regular stock next month.) (Sorry I kept saying "Bahama" in the video, guess I need a vacation! The beautiful teal green blue is GKD Blue Lagoon.)
Supplies:
Gina K. Designs Fill it with Flowers, Tiny Textures stamp sets
Gina k. Pure Luxury White (4 ¼” x 11”, scored at 5 ½”, 3 7/8”

Melanie...fantastic! You never disappoint. I would swear I was looking at an antique with an

You spoil us Melanie! I can always expect to see something new or unusual from you. Thanks for the inspiration and tutorial!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I do love the glazed look on things, so I'll have to get the stamps and try it. Now, I do have to ask, the chain on your right hand, does it have meaning? You may have said before, but I didn't catch it.
