Bowled Over

It's time for April's Makery Challenge!  

Each month I team up with my friend and downline, Barbara Miller of Inky B's Journey for a challenge. 

We pick a set of products we must use and each make a card.  Today we are sharing both of our cards with you.

First take a look at the Challenge it's self.  

Here is the card I created. 

Fruit Loops anyone???

This background!!! I love it.  Here's how to do use the liquid colors on your Gel Press to get the background I made on this card. 

Put a line each of Candy Apple, Lemon Drop and Cool Pool Liquid Color down on your Journey Gel Press. 

Brayer over the color, blending them slightly to create a rainbow effect. Work quickly, as the color will start to pool up, which is part of the cool look you can get when using liquid color on the Gel Press. 

Quickly, lay your paper down to pull up a print.  Your brayer may still have ink on it, run that over the gel press again and pick up a second print. 

I picked my favorite print and layered that on to my Candy Apple card base. 

I stamped three bowls from the Bowled Over stamp set with Black Licorice ink and colored them in with Journey Color Burst pencils.  I wanted the top bowl to look like Fruit Loops, playing off the rainbow colored background of the print. 

The sentiment on this card comes in the Bowled Over stamp set, it's a classic that you could use with so many creations. I stamped it with Clear Pigment ink and embossed it with White Powder. 

For the finishing touch a tied on a stamped and cut out spoon with Licorice Twist Twine.

Below are all the things I used to make this card, you can shop for them in my online store just by clicking on an image.

Now let's take a look at what Barbara Miller from Inky B's Journey made for this Makery Challenge. 

Isn't it fun to see what two people can do with the same challenge!  I love it! My favorite part of this card is something unexpected, it's how she used the heart punch to make the hole to tie the tag to the ribbon, so sweet!  And Barbara is a GREAT colorist, look at those strawberries!
