Happy Father's Day




Here is a card I made for my husband. It has many layers of stamps and inks.  The background was made with lots of spray inks, stamps, and them put in an embossing folder. I fussy cut around what was embossed and attached it to piece of corrugated paper.  The man in the top is from the stamp set Time Travelers from Stampers Anonymous - Tim Holtz and I added the clock and gears.  The background paper I stamped the Time Traveler on was made previously with spray inks and a stencil.

Here are some close ups.




Happy Father's Day

Wings of Hope

This is a 5x5 mixed media piece I created on watercolor paper. I've been very focused on yellow and orange lately. The background was made with white acrylic paint through stencils and used yellow and orange watercolors.  I played with the color for a while until it was nice and bright. Once dried I added the doily, butterflies, stamps and rub-ons.

Explore Life

I have had this vintage picture for so long.  I really didn't know if I would ever use it until I found some metal embellishments and this tag that had many shades of green on it. I just had a few stamps and some old paper and it was done.

 
I love old photographs. Their faces are so beautiful.
As you can see below there are many layers.

Untie Your Wings

This weekend I had a wonderful time in my art room. You will see many creations over the next week or two.  To start off the weekend and played on a page from an art journal; just playing with watercolors and modeling paste.

Have Faith

I made this easel card for my daughter. I love this stamp. It's one of my new ones I bought from Red Lead Paperworks and the background is a new stamp too. The flowers are my new memory box dies. I bought two new dies that are flowers.


 
i promise to love myself
HAVE FAITH
sprout my wings
leap forward
feel the wind in my hair
bit by bit
i will grow strong
 
Here is the back of the card.
