Alternative Christmas verse

If Santa was....
If Santa was a Henderson or any surname
Cockney
Liverpudlian
Brummie
Geordie
Taff
Jock
from Anytown
etc

If Santa was a Geordie
He'd be a builder on the side
Because chimneys are very narrow
And Santa's very wide

Overnight, there would appear
A big hole in your roof
And you'd know that Santa did it
But you wouldn't have the proof

In January, S. Claus Roofing Contractors
Would take your remaining money
While you saved up for the arrival
Of the Geordie Easter Bunny

**************************************

If Santa was as shrewd as you
He'd take a royalty share
Of the billions of Santa cards
Published every year

He'd be bigger than Walt Disney
And Spielberg put together
He'd move to a tax haven
And enjoy the better weather

And if you expected him to visit you
You'd have to save up all the Summer
House calls are expensive
Have you ever called a plumber?

Twinkling H20's ~ demonstration

Last night I demonstrated Twinkling H20's in the store where I work. We had a customer evening until 9pm, there was a lovely atmosphere with a band or musicians on each floor and the wine and mince pies were well received, so everyone was in the party spirit.
I spoke to some lovely people who were fascinated with the H20's especially as the work so well when painted onto black card, so today I have pile of pieces I stamped & painted whilst demonstrating to make into cards & toppers.

Whilst I was making up some samples during the day I did try & bleach out some of the black cardstock, without much success as I melted my brush in the bleach...... oop's needless to say I didn't use that part of the technique in my demo.

Baby's First Christmas

I have been asked to make 5 baby's first Christmas cards, so far i have only made the first two, so thats one of my projects for today.
Anyone with baby's first Christmas cards in a gallery I would love to take a peek.


Two more finished today.

Twinkling H20's ~ rubber stamping technique

They are wonderful for "direct to rubber" techniques.

Here's how:
1. Spray a little water with a fine mist spray bottle or even just drop a few drops of water in with an eyedropper. Mix the water into the paint with your paintbrush. Have several paintbrushes on hand to do this, one for each color you're using.

2. Make sure that your stamp doesn't "resist" the paint. Some stamps, especially the bold ones, resist water-based paints due to a coating on the rubber from manufacturing. If your ink pens or the H2O's tend to bead up on your stamp, just lightly sand the rubber with a fine grit sandpaper (I use 600 grit) and clean the stamp.

3. Paint the H20's onto the rubber. Bold stamps work well, but fine line work well too! If you're quick with your painting and your paint is still wet, stamp immediately. Otherwise, use a fine mist bottle and lightly mist your rubber, then stamp. Mist again, stamp again to get a lighter impression. Do this again to create various depths of image brightness and to create "shadows".

4. Let dry and enjoy!

The Hero Arts real flowers collection works exceptionally well with this method.

Painting with Twinkling H2o's

1. open the jars and spritz with a mist or 2 of water. Let it sit about 30 sec. This preps the cake-softens it a bit so you can easily add more water and mix. I use the spritzer bottle to add fresh water through my paint session as needed& a big jar of water to clean my brush.

2. I don't use a water brush like many do. I like to control the amount of water& with a waterbrush I find that harder to achieve. It's convenient for travel, but I have more success with a regular paint bush. I keep a big jar of water, clean my brush & gently squeeze the bristles to remove excess water. There is still plenty on the brush to paint with, sometimes all you need is a damp brush. If it drips....it's too much.

3. I also don't paint directly from the pot for the most part. I take my colour from the cake on my brush to a plastic palette. (piece of plastic, glass, old plate, anything that works, even the lid) This keep my colour shade consistent through the painting. If I take the paint from the pot as I paint (I am not a speed painter) the cake absorbs the water, get thicker & I find myself having to reconstitute the paint. This means I might end up with a different shade then I started with. With the paint on a palette it stays the same. Even if it dries on palette, dip your brush in fresh water, squeeze out the bristles & pick up your color from the palette. You can easily reconstitute these paints. You need not clean the palette either. Just leave it till next time and you can always re- wet and use or make color washes after your paint session is over.

4. Less is more!! The less water you use, the more intense the shimmer. Practice on a scrap on paper. Lots of water equals a paler shade and less shimmer. Little water equals intense shade and lots of shine.

5. Start with embossed images rather then a scene till you get the hang of it. The embossing acts as little "barriers" or reservoirs for your paint. Also, the shimmer will often obscure your stamp lines. You can over-stamp with positioner, but this is a fast easy way to make them really stand out.

6. You can use regular card stock with H20's. It's one of the things I love about these paints! While it's wonderful on sheer heaven, expensive watercolor & such, you don't need them to use your Twinkling H20's. Practice on plain old card stock first. I've painted on cheap envelopes, copy paper & plain old card stock with little to no wrinkling. Just keep in mind you'll want to use less water. Actually I prefer to use them on smoother, less absorbent paper like traditional watercolor. I find it easier to blend the colors on smooth paper& the shimmer shows up so much more IMHO. And the shimmer is why we shelled out for these paints isn't it?

7. Twinkling H20's dry so fast I generally don't blot my paper at all. If it does wrinkle, spritz the BACK of the paper, sandwich in-between wax paper and put inside a phone book to flatten.

8. These colors blend so easily. To blend your colors just clean your brush and squeeze it out so it's just damp. Go over the colors to blend & you will be surprised at how smoothly they flow together.
