Nail Polish Marbling

A couple of weeks ago I made up some Nail Polish Marbling backgrounds.  This was a technique I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  Here are the backgrounds I made

I used Black and Neon Pink polish and added some blue glitter polish.  That one didn't mix well, but gave an interesting texture. 

I made two cards out of the pieces.    First this one was for the NZ Group I belong to.  The technique was our June challenge. 

I die cut an oval out of the piece.  Added the white silhouette.  The sentiment is from Kaisercraft. 

The second one went to Gail in Norway as part of my CCC for June.  

The background was made with some shimmer paint on a gel plate.  This was an experiment... the paint really did not work well on the gel paint... but I managed to pull this one.  Lots of texture on the background. I used the sketch

 

 I used the same sentiment.  The zig zag piece was made with an edge die cut twice.  I used scraps of the technique pieces to cut the circles.  

All in all, a great technique. 

thanks for stopping by. 

A bit of a catch up...

I seem to have got super busy this last week.    Thursday was my birthday and we went out to dinner with my son and his partner.   We had a good night with lots of laughter and great food.  Here is a picture of the gorgeous gift they gave me

Then over the weekend we went with our friends to Managwhai.  Haven't been up for a while.  The weather forecast was not looking good, but in the end, it was beautiful weather.  I went out for a walk on both days... Saturday a 50 min walk and today a 80 min walk.  I got some great photos of the walks

Harbour on Saturday.

and today I walked over to the Surf Beach 

It's hard to see but there were three dolphins surfing the waves with all the surfers.   Worth the hard walk to get there.  

We also went out for lunch at a nearby cafe for a lovely lunch.    After we got back I spend some time colouring and making some nail polish marbling I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  

 

I had a great time doing this colouring.  I'm loving the classes I am taking at Kit and Clowder.  I am learning so much about using my Prismacolor pencils. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit me.   Hope you all had a great weekend too.
