Dina Wakley Meets a Salad Spinner

Hi everyone

This post involves a salad spinner, that can't live without gadget that we all bought and if you are like me has probably been relegated to the back of your kitchen cupboard.  Well I am starting the campaign to dig them out and get crafty with them.

Here are a couple of cards I have made using my salad spinner, giving it a new lease of life. 

All stamps used are from Dina Wakley and stamped using black archival..

Got the look I wanted 2nd time around

Didn't quite get the technique right on this first attempt but still liked the effect.

All this salad spinning does get a bit messy and you'll never wash lettuce in it again but great fun to play with.
What you have to do is cut a piece of card square or circle that fits snugly into your salad spinner, I found that a few blobs of bluetack helps hold the paper in place. Then just add paint, thin paint works better so just use your cheaper stash. First picture shows the effect by adding circles of paint, 2nd shows what happens when you just add blobs of paint. Add some paint, put the lid on your salad spinner and then spin as quickly as you can then take the lid off and check the effect you've created, you can now add another colour and spin again, don't worry if the first colour hasn't dried. Keep on going until you are happy with the effect that your spinning has created.

Hope you like it and will join in in my one woman campaign to give a salad spinner a second chance!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Love
