My work table has been delighted by many projects this week using a variety of media from mold making supplies, gel printing plates, acrylic paint, rubber stamps and embossing folders. I planned on sharing a big batch of gelli printed greeting cards on Tuesday but the batch got bigger and took me into yesterday to complete and I haven&#8217;t even looked at how much footage I have to go through!</p>

<p>The reason I am telling you this is because in the video I mentioned that embossing folders are<a href="http://shrsl.com/?i4vq"> on sale for $2 this week at Consumer Crafts</a> but when the video goes up the sale will be over so if you need any grab them now AND shipping if half off too (or free on orders over $75.) I just don&#8217;t want anyone mad at me if they missed the sale (and I also don&#8217;t want to have to voice over the video since I narrated it live&#8230;OK I&#8217;m lazy, so sue me:)</p>

<p>Now on to today&#8217;s tutorial! I was not happy with this rose painting but I liked the leaves so I re-filmed the leaves only and shared that a week ago. I showed this card as well and said I would post the video for it if anyone was interested and surprisingly many said that they would like to see it. I think you just like to see me struggle LOL! Well, at least you can see how I think through a hot mess painting, in any event it is only a piece of paper so why worry?</p>
