My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cart Blog Hop



Good Morning! I hope all of you will have a FABULOUS Saturday.
Welcome to the FUN & FABULOUS 100 Cart Blog Hop by My Cricut Craft Room.
You should have arrived from the fabulous Alishia's Blog, if not and you would like to start from the beginning 
please start at Erica's Blog.  You do NOT want to miss out on the fun! Be sure to leave comments along the way, you never know when the FAB host might choose your comment for a win!

Today I worked with the AWESOME cartridge Word Collage..

I attempted to make wall decor for my DD
since her room is painted pink and she is not into nursery rhymes
I opted for the Paris, Rome, London, Milan Collage.
I started by cutting the collage out on contact paper (I don't have any vinyl)
I cut it at fit to page 10.5x10.5
I then placed it on the canvas
and painted the canvas hot pink
I let that dry and then painted it black instead
I didn't want to do pink on pink
Then I peeled the letters off and some of the paint bled underneath
so I brushed lightly pink all over the canvas in spots then used a paper towel  to give it texture
then I painted over the canvas with a glitter paint

**That is why the L is flood filled with pink and the other letters have some pink**
I do like the effect though







Close up of the Glitter paint I used




My next project was created using the same cartridge but I used the Chomas Gel Pens and Holder 
to create a different look.
 I used the Boom Pow Word Collage
perfect for a boy/male/superhero card
This is it simple in black ink and framed

I used topic  copic markers to color in some of the words, I wanted to give it an 
unfinished look.


My Dad Hero, I thought fit pretty well as the sentiment This was a dollar stamp from Michaels
I actually made this card out of vellum.

I started by printing a 12x12 sheet of White Daisy Cardstock (CTMH)
with the saying Boom Pow at 3x5 and autofilled
then I cut it down to fit the frame and the card front

Thanks for hopping along. Be sure to come back tomorrow for day 2 and a whole new line up!
Start at Erica's Blog on Sunday.
