Mmmmm… Watermelon

It’s time for a new MIXability and Free For All Challenge at Splitcoast!

This week’s Mix Challenge (MIX16) is Glitter Under Glass.

This week’s Free for All Challenge is Chomp!

I created a pink standard card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2″) and then added a strip of green cardstock that I smudged and doodled on with white acrylic paint, green ink and a fine black pen. I just played with it until it looked “watermelony”. I used a corner rounder on the bottom corners. I stamped the face next (Peachy Keen Stamps PK-180 Erkle and Merkle Face Assortment) and painted the eyes with white and green acylic paint. I drew the seeds with a black pen and then went over them with glitter glue for some extra sparkle. I took a chomp out of the top of the card with a Scallop Circle Framelits die from Sizzix.

Smooch Glitz Resist Tutorial Video

Check me out on the Clearsnap Blog today!
It’s always fun to get an unexpected result. I found myself out of clear embossing powder one day and decided see what would happen if I used Smooch Glitz as my resist and I loved the sparkly results!
I used Smooch Glitz Frost to create random circles on my cardstock. I love the built in brush that comes with Smooch inks.
I let it dry and then spritzed lightly with Bubblegum and Artichoke ColorBox Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink Sprays
I let the ink set for a minute and then rubbed the excess ink from the Smooch Glitz with a damp paper towel. A beautiful background in just minutes!
Here are the products I used to make my card:
