WT746 ~ Get Back to Nature! (06/27/2019)

[Covington Crafter]

Happy Thursday! It's time for a Ways to Use It Challenge. Carla, here as your hostess and I want you to Get Back to Nature.

Use something from the great outdoors on your creation. You can add dried flowers or leaves, twigs, feathers, sand. Or you can print, stamp or mask with leaves. If you're feeling really ambitious, you could make your own paper and include some dried flowers!! Below are some links to get your started.

• Drying flowers in the microwave.
  SCS Tutorials and previous Challenges
• Duoprinting with Chlorophyll and MIX 134 SMASH IT
• TLC446 Leaf Stamping.
• Painted Wood Burning

When you've finished your creation, upload your card with the keyword WT746 and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card. It's especially appreciated by the hostesses!!

If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:

1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.

Here's the link for our WT746 gallery. Take a look and spread some love around by leaving comments for your fellow crafters!

Thank you, Lisa and Toni for the marvelous samples and inspiration!

Fun challenge, Carla. It gave me a chance to use some paper made by a friend that I have been hoarding. She incorporates bits of nature in her papers....in this case the lavender plant.

This was a great challenge for me to use some feathers my son picked up for me while he was on vacation with grandma. Thank you for the challenge Carla.

I have been rather obsessed with picking up leaves and weeds for gel printing. I combined with the magazine image transfer technique on one that I am sharing and here is the un-enhanced original print next to the magazine page.



Here are the two prints that I uploaded
Leaves and Ladies
Frosty Leaves

I combined this challenge with MIX335 to use chalk through a stencil on a gel plate. I picked some leave from my yard. Then I used the results for a VSN challenge! Take a look.
thanks for your challenge.
