Hi there! I've been playing around with Moonlight Gelly Roll pens and I've got my cards complete. Can you please sign me up and send me the address? I'll be mailing from within the US. Thanks!

[somnia]

Could I please sign up? These are ready for tomorrow's mail.

I tried beeswax collage as part of Fodder School lessons taught by Lucie Declos. Their final project was a wall hanging, but I scaled down to ATC size. My hand-carved stamps didn't work, so I used art foamies moths in some of these plus other stamps in my stash.

Haagmm - I haven't received a reply message with your address - are my private messages going through?

This is how my set turned out. White, moonlight, and metallic Gelly Roll pens on colored paper - my first time using the Moonlight and metallic pens and working on anything other than white or very neutral light gray.

jtpaints, I love your cards & applaud you for the white pen use. I fight with white pens because they seem to skip or stop working so frequently. I have only used them over watercolor or acrylic, though, and that might be my problem. I will try them on colored paper and see how it goes. Your cards are lovely

Thanks LindyLu - White pens can be a beast for sure. I've spent way too much time watching Youtube reviews trying to figure them out, and experimenting. They definitely work better on plain paper than watercolor (can't say as to acrylic). They all tend to clog no matter what, but some work better than others, and I keep a scratch paper to scribble and get them clean and flowing again. If you're using over watercolor, make sure the one you're using is waterproof - some aren't. If they're not waterproof, they'll slightly dissolve the paint and take on a tinted color. It won't happen quite as bad with waterproof.

I need to withdraw. March arrived a week earlier than I was expecting, and I haven't caught up yet!
But I did do some marbling with nail polish, that was a little different than I was expecting, I like shave phone marbling so I wish the colors would be brighter, and I tried the scrape method - was not really impressed with that outcome. That person on YouTube that does it all the time, well, let's just say I did nothing to compare to his!!!

[Haagmm]

No problem catladybj!
Mail call: I have received envelopes from RaineyDay and jtpaints

[Haagmm]

Envelopes from 2 international players are enroute so I’m going to wait until Monday to swap if that’s ok?

[CiCiCreates]

Fine by me

[Bishopsmate]

OK by me as well

[sarat]

Sounds fine
