State of Emergency

A journal page made with a tree stencil, stamped birds and an image transfer. A true example of working with a "I wonder what this would look like" attitude, it makes for good learning and mad scientist kind of fun. I highly recommend it.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.

Sweetest Thing

I've used a 20-year old stamp (Stampin' Up) on a scrap from a Somerset Magazine along with a Remnant Rub and 3D pearl drops along the border.

I wanted a background that would emulate the landscape but it was dark and I knew the stamp impression might get lost in it so, after stamping, I filled in it.

First with a layer of watered-down white paint and a tiny brush. Then I went back over the white paint with various Pitt Brush Pens to give it color.

I re-darkened the black stamp lines with an ultra-fine marker, as needed.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.

No. 92

Mom turns 92 in about a week and this is the card I made for her. I used a stencil and white paint over a piece of scrapbook paper then tinted it slightly with colored pencils and inks.

I glued a scrap of white mulberry paper on the back of a die-cut butterfly then embellished it with glossy accents. The label was hand-made then stamped. The corner bits are just paper hole punches.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.
