Heartfelt Snowflake

 

Today is the the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card. These two cards are #62, so we are now into year #7. 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 wanted to make a couple of cards using a newer Gina K Designs stencil set called Heartfelt Snowflake Layering Stencils. There are 3 stencils in the set.  I pulled out some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks and I have not used them in a long time!  I love the way they ink blend and are so bright!  I used Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers on both panels and added Seedless Preserves on the third stencil, which is the horizontal card. I added some Taylored Expressions Iridescent Glitter Glaze to that card, again with the third stencil, over ink. The vertical card with two colors of ink has Brutus Monroe Perfect Plum Glitter Glaze also with the third stencil, over the ink. Both cards have sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Packs.  There are some Pinkfresh Studio Jewels on both cards--Lavender on the horizontal card and Glacier on the vertical one. 

I really like the look of these two cards 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 September as we will all be back for another round!
