Summertime ATC's

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, the June swap is a Summertime ATC swap.  I used images from TumbleFish Studio.  I used glossy accents to accent part or all of the women on the ATC's.  I used sequin stars and red German scrap stars from Collage Stuff.  Some of the ATC's have stenciled backgrounds with acrylic paints or markers.  Stay cool this summer!

May Tag Swap

The May swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group is a rubber stamped tag swap, meaning to use at least one rubber stamped image in the art.  I made my usual background on vintage text or sheet music using stencils and acrylic paint. I used a text stamp in the background as well.  I used glitter bead gel through stencils as the final background layer, but it's hard to see in the photos.  The stamped images are from Dylusions colored with glaze pens, metallic gelly roll pens and colored pencils.  The stamped image are popped up.  The little flowers are old chipboard buttons from Maya Road embellished with a white Signo pen.  Thanks for coming by my blog today!

Sometimes art journal spread

This is another one of my journal spreads where I got carried away on the background.  With some adjustments, it worked out fine!  The background uses acrylic paint, stencils, Color Burst and a Dylusion stamps.  I used Permapaque and Posca paint markers around the main image.   Thanks for coming by my blog.

Spirited and Strong Art Journal Pages

 

I finished up this art journal spread last night.  I recently bought some Spellbinders dies on clearance and used one set for this spread.  I love these arch dies. The stamps are from Dina Wakley.  I used stencil from Joggles, Stencil Girl, The Crafter's Workshop, Tim Holtz and Dina Wakley.  The hearts were made using a stencil and flexible modeling paste. I colored the women with Copic makers.   Thanks for coming by my blog!

Faces Art Journal - Faces #12

I sketched out these 2 faces last week and the proportions are off.  Way off!  That's OK, because flowers make everyone beautiful!  Thanks for coming by my blog!

A Halloween Card

Here is a Halloween card that I made this afternoon.  I used a Dylusions stamp and two Tim Holtz stamps.  The images are colored with various markers.  I added a little bling to each of the spiders.  Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
