Margaretha Pineapple is turning 102 and we're throwing her a tea party. How fun is that! OK. So Margaretha's last name isn't actually Pineapple--it's Pijnappel, but that's how it's pronounced. No, I simply could not resist using my pineapple stamp that has been waiting on my list of stamps to use. And I used masking fluid for the first time ever. It was pretty neat. I stamped all the pineapples and then painted them with the "liquid frisket" (fun words). After it dried I sponged the yellow background and splattered with water for some texture. It took a little while to get the hang of rubbing it off without tearing the paper, but I think the results are pretty cool. I colored the pineapples as the last step. I'm using Jeanne's lovely colors today and my favorite green (Copic YG17 Grass Green) for dessert. I used a Power Poppy stamp that has both tulips and a bow. And Margaretha is from Holland, so I get to use my Dutch stamps again! Yippee!!
