Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! I did some neon water marbling this weekend and they turned out pretty cool. I wasn't ready to ditch it just yet as yesterday and today we have some nice sunny weather so I did what I always do and stamped over it LOL!
I hauled out some of my new China Glaze Electric Nights--Daisy Know My Name, Glow With The Flow, Home Sweet House Music & Treble Maker. Naturally when I did this it was rainy and cold but here's a pic of the water marble before I stamped over it.
I've haven't water marbled in a long time as I've been doing dry marbles lately but I thought I'd give this a go
Indoor shot naturally as Saturday it was cold and rainy
Both yesterday and today though it's nice and sunny. I went out to snap a few pics without looking crazy as neighbors were out and here's what I did over it
I used one of my new Born Pretty Store plates BP-L010. I love everything ab out this plate!!!! It's all tribal images!
My index and pinkie are from MoYou Explorer 23 I barely got them on there LOL. I matted it then for my African Tribal look. I really like it!
What do you think? Do you like it better before or after the stamping?
Hope you are all having a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Everyone!! Happy Monday to all! This week is Childhood week for the
Digit-al Dozen. I'm pretty sure we are going to see lots of different interpretations for this week which is always exciting. For me I totally looked at this theme as being something that reminds me of my childhood. How amazing is it that I can finally do a mani I saw Cassis P do awhile ago and have it fit in with this week's theme???
Trust me IT IS AMAZING!
So here's my back story before I post the pics of my mani. When I was a young girl it was my dream to be a missionary in Africa where I would ride along teaching the African natives all about Jesus in my Winnebago. I was really into the TV show Tarzan with Ron Ely when I was young so I just knew if anything were to happen to me in the safaris of Africa like a lion trying to eat me or me falling into quick sand I could just call for Tarzan and he would save me. Enter a young girl's heart crushing when her father had to tell her that Tarzan wasn't real. I think I was more terrified of slowly drowning in quick sand than the lions attacking so that reality smack had me giving up the missionary life pretty quick.
Nothing says a father's love like a man having to crush your dreams LOL. My poor dad you know he just wanted a boy in there somewhere but that didn't happen.
I have fond memories of the time I wanted to drive around in my Winnebago in Africa though and really did love watching Tarzan as a young girl. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the fact Cheetah was super cool and who didn't want a monkey as a pet when they were a kid???
My mani today is a Safari silhouette with a huge shout out to Cassis P on both youtube and instagram for being the brilliant one to come up with this way cool effect!
This was definitely a labor intensive mani as you have to use the decal method and believe it or not this is just black stamping over white and then some sheer jellies sponged over it to give it color!
I followed Cassis' tutorial on youtube and it was actually really easy to do. If you haven't seen her tutorial you can find it HERE
I've got an ostrich on my thumb!
MoYou Explorer 23 plate has some really awesome Safari images I'm sure I will use this plate often
Getting my gorgeous Safari colors was really easy with the sheer jellies from 10.1 Polish too.
Here's a picture of the mani Cassis did and the one I fell in love with when she first posted it
So there you have it, day 1 of the Digit-al Dozen Does Childhood for me a reminder of the time in my young life when I wanted to cruise around in Africa and hopefully being saved by Tarzan.
I'm going to head over and see what my fab friends came up with for Childhood week!
