I'm so excited to share with you that this month I am the Guest Designer for Stampotique Stamps! I love the variety of stamp designers that share this site, so many different styles to choose from. They have adorable to zany...and everything in between.
Their current challenge is orange and turquoise, .....now how do I turn that into a little "love" I said, well....I found the most funnest way. I used my friend Smiles, colored him with watercolor pencils and popped him up on a background I made. His balloon is from a piece of paper from my stash, and decorated with part of this heart stamp.
Then I found a piece of paper to use as my bottom layer in my stash, and decided to decorate my "handmade" paper with white paint and a bottle cap to match. I think he luv's YOU!
My friend Dyan just posted on YouTube how she made some background papers she calls the Ghosting tech, and I just had to try it. This tech is only for the brave imo, as my hands are still inky, it took me hours, (I used a vinyl tablecloth and the entire Sunday newspaper to cover my kitchen table), and most important, I had a blast! My papers turned out just FAB, I luv them and you can see them next. Would I do it again, yeppers, fer sure!
This is the batch....
and this is the last one I made, guess I finally got the hang of it, it's my fav...
I'll be back again soon with another project for Stampotique. Thanks for stoppin' by, hugz.............

Fabulous card and wonderful result of the ghosting technique, Gerrie!
we are so happy to have you as part of the dt this month! Love the background and I'll trust you when you tell me it's a dirty mess LOL!
Your papers are fantastic! - the colours are just superb. Will definately have a look at the video. Thanks.
.... the card is lovely too!
Hi Gerrie~
Love the orange and turquoise card. That little guy is so funny! He cracks me up when you use him in a sweet setting! lol
I LOVE the paper you designed. I am so curious about this. Stampers can't be afraid of a little ink on their hands, can they? lol The colors and designs in it are just so beautiful.

Great idea with wonderful results!
A wonderful image, great background.
Love your card and your ghost background look stunning. Know what you mean about mess - I was making backgrounds with the dylusions inks and even though I sprayed inside a pizza box it's everywhere but the results are always fun and bright
Loving your card and that stamp, its all great.
Wow thanks for the Utube link for those amazing backgrounds, will definitely check it out. Annette x
