Mark’s Finest Papers
I used the gel card tutorial from scs to make my first card. I knew as soon as I saw this set that I wanted to make a gel card. I am cheap though. No one in my family uses hair gel, and I couldn't see spending money, even a couple of dollars on hair gel that would only have a tablespoon used for the card. Then I found this shampoo from Suave. It worked great for the card and my family uses shampoo. LOL. When I finished this card, all my kids had a blast playing with it. I did too. It was fun to squish the "GEL"
My second card I posted Wednesday at SCS for the sketch challenge. I repurposed an embellishment container to be my fish tank. SEE THERE IS A REASON I HOARD!!!!
Wonderful job on both cards!! I really like the idea on the Gel card!! I'm going to have to try that out!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great masculine card, Marilynn! Love the second one.
ReplyDeleteFabuloous work!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on both of these!

I have never seen this technique before - amazing results. Both cards are so creative!
ReplyDeleteCUTE card - love that technique!
ReplyDeleteSo many cute ideas - very creative as usual.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are so creative, Marilynn.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you created some water on both of your wonderful creations.
Great minds were thinking the same thing about the gel card for these wonderful fish! I too knew they would make a great gel card. And your idea of the embellishment container was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThese are really terrific Marilynn - I am so impressed how much time and effort you put into creating such wonderful projects for us during the hops, thank you! I too love squishing the gel on the gel cards (blushing). That tile is such a cool affect too, giving it the appearance of water.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the gel card!! Awesome work.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are really great!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards MariLynn - love the fish stamps, and The results of your hoarding! I must look at that gel card tutorial.
ReplyDeleteBlessings

What cool cards! Lovin the effects!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the fish set!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I almost had a heart attach when the music started playing, don't scare old people like that! :)
Great idea to use the clear shampoo and I like your fish tank.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are lovely MariLynn.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the gel. I made one of these cards before and ended up throwing away a whole bottle of gel. Love your projects. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteNice job on both of them, I've never been brave enough to try a gel card, too afraid of it exploding all over my workplace I guess. Great idea, turned out fab.
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome fish bowl/tank cards, Marilynn! These are so colorful and fun. :)
