Backgound here was stamped in clear pigment ink (VersaMark) and then swiped over with chalk. ThankYou is embossed in Gold ep.
This one is stamped with clear pigment ink and and embossed with white ep then watercolored.
This card uses a wallpaper background and some sheer ribbon. The tag is made by using a stencil and dry embossing with a lightbox. Then cut out and the message stamped and embossed onto it.
This one wasn't done with the Cuttlebug, but used the Bubble technique. Colored ink in water with a bit of detergent. Blow into the solution with a straw and lay your paper over. Lift off carefully and dry.
You can hardly see them, but there are teeny violet beads sewn to the centers of the flowers. Ths flowers here were stencils embossed with a lightbox.
"Art in My Garbage" is a favorite theme I deamed up. All that "stuff" in the trash-bin surely has another life as an "art supply" - Yesterday the discovery was date pits ;-D They scrub up well, have a nice rustic, "woody" look and make great beads when drilled with a fine dremel bit. Have also just discovered "sea beans", along with the lovely shells on the Texas beaches. The teeniest bit of baby oil shines them up nice. Avocados, apple seeds, prune pits, etc. can all be used as well. http://www.beachbeans.com/bean_descriptions.html
Inspiration
Hoping to share inspiration with thosewho visit. “Art is in the doing. It isn’t important how it turns out. The process is where the pleasure, the learning and the experience take place. A day without some sort of creative endeavor is a wasted day.” Myrna Wacknov
Call of the Wild was a page created for a Traveling Journal while a member on an altered book site. The book is gone, but at least I have photos of the art created. This is a combination of stamping, collage and freehand.
ok...cat lover here. Why is it that cats, stamps and computers just "go" together?! AmberJo is our rescued Texas kitty. They say a cat chooses you and she sure did. Here's the little dickens.
