Happy to have you lurk, Ann. I hope you can find some time and inspiration. Sometimes all I need is a great idea I need to try, and then the time "magically appears "!

Pouring, I looked at your heart cards and I really liked them. THEN I looked at your Dress card, and I was very very impressed. But hey I would be thrilled with a heart card actually.
CiCi, I am making ATC's with latex lace as we speak. I experimented with some craft paints & found that all of them work, even ones with glitter & metallic. Yes, you can cut it or tear it. I will be posting some ARC's in the next couple of days . I am in love with this stuff & it is so easy to make.
Supplies: a tube of DAP caulk. The video shows Alex Plus all purpose acrylic latex caulk plus silicone. This is what I bought, too. Not all caulk is paintable so be sure that you get the paintable one. Corn starch, a soft, fluffy brush ( I have a fluffy makeup brush ) to use for dusting the corn starch, lace fondant molds. Michael's & JoAnn have them & probably, Hobby Lobby. They are in the baking section & used for wedding cakes, etc. I found a 3 pack on Amazon for $13.95. I have Amazon Prime so I paid no shipping. That's it, just 4 things..caulk, mold, brush & cornstarch. I plan to buy some more molds soon.
Oh, I forgot you need something to smooth the caulk into the molds with. I have a small, flexible frosting spreader & it works great. A credit card would work but might damage the silicone mold over time. This stuff spreads just like cream cheese. Easy peasy!
A note about the caulk< I see in the tutorial she squeezes the caulk with her hands. She must be stronger than I because I have to use a tube squeezer. My hubs has a caulk gun that I borrowed & it makes the caulk flow like ice cream.( Why do I always use food references?) Hmmmmm...
This stuff dries flexible so you can wind it around something, scrunch it up, etc. I'm going to use some on picture frames & altered tins/cigar boxes. I will probably use gloss gel medium to glue it down, I just haven't got that far. I will post pics soon
I posted a couple of ATC's in my gallery that have latex lace on them.
