Shiny Checkerboard

 

Today is the the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card. This card is number 59, so we are into year #6. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a very fun group and will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For this month's messiness, I decided to pick some stencil pastes.  I used TCW Orchid and Champagne Gold Stencil Butter as the two outside colors.  The middle is Picket Fence Studio Paper Glaze in Jade Wine.  I picked a Gina Marie Designs stencil called Checkerboard.  I placed a scoop of each color at the bottom of the stencil, which was placed over the white cardstock. I then used a plastic scraper to smooth the paste up and over the entire stencil.  I then took the stencil off and set it aside for a few hours to dry. I then picked the two outside colors for the Gina K Designs A Little Hello word and backer--gold metallic and grape.  I added some Taylored Expressions Gold Drip Drops around Hello. 

I really like the look of my card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies like it too!  Here are the links to the other somewhat messy crafters:   Carol, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry.   I am sure you will enjoy seeing how everyone got messy this month and was successful in making some great cards!   Be sure to check back to see what we are up to in June as we will all be back for another round!
