Halloween Cards!

I have started on my Halloween cards.  I used a rubber stamped image from Unity Stamps.  I colored the image with Copic markers and Spica glitter pens.  So, if the broom fits, ride it!

Sunflower ATC Swap

At the artisttradingcards yahoo group, I'm hosting a sunflower ATC swap.  The background started with a vintage ledger page. I used acrylic paint and stencils from Tim Holtz and the The Crafter's Workshop to make the background.  I added strips of washi tape here and there.  The sunflower stamp is from Unity Stamps.  It's colored with Copic markers, Spica glitter pens and glaze pens.  The flowers were outlined with a stabilio all pencil. I added little jewels to each.  I love sunflowers and have a large sunflower tattoo on one of my ankles.  The sunflower is the Kansas state flower and I'm from Kansas originally.  Happy sunflowers to you!

Put a Bird on It ATC Swap

At the artisttradingcards yahoo group, I'm hosting an ATC swap, "Put a Bird on It." The background is made using an inventory tag, Distress oxide and Archival inks, Tim Holtz layering stencils and The Crafter's Workshop templates.  The bird image is from Unity Stamps.  The birds were colored with various artist pens. I cut the branches out of cardstock and colored them brown with Distress oxide inks. Tim Holtz chit chat stickers were added.  I hope you enjoy these little birdies!

ATCs for a Private Trade

These ATCs are for a private trade with my friend, Miriam.  I used inventory tags (Collage Stuff) for the base.  I used a variety of different stencils from Tim Holtz and The Crafter's Workshop with Distress Oxide inks for the backgrounds.  The stamped images are from Unity Stamps.  They are colored with various pens including Copic Markers and Spica Glitter Pens.  I added various embellishments and Tim Holtz stickers.  Enjoy!

2017 Handmade Calendar Swap

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, I'm hosting a handmade calendar swap.  The pages are 4" x 6" and 13 pages must be handmade.  The backgrounds are made with acrylic paints and stencils.  I used Dylusions stamps, a Unity stamp, and a Dina Media stamp.  The images are colored with glaze pens, colored pencils and souffle pens.  Usually I made all of my 13 pages the same, but this time it's looking like they will all be different!  Thanks for stopping by to see some of my calendar pages.
