Flower Child

Another day of play with pan pastels, the stamp is from Great Impressions.

I was playing with color shine spray inks along with my dylusions sprays on this one.

A Tree

I was playing around blending my pan pastels seeing what colors I'd come up with.  This is it, almost the same coloring on the wood of this stamp, managed a  pretty good impression, added flower soft, glossy accents & a little horse punched.  The stamp is from Arizona Stamps Too, called Canyon Juniper, the year 1994.

I

My half price stamp of the month & she is just so darn cute.  Background was done in Pan Pastels, the girl was colored with copics.  Butterfly & flowers were water colored with distress markers.

 I've been playing around with my new pan pastels, I just love the colors & how they lay down.  The top one I erased the whites.

Birch Trees

 I finally got some time to play with my new dies & stencil

The background was done with stencil & sponged on distress inks, a few dies, a Kimmie Stamp.

Playing Around

I've been playing around with spray inks lately & having way too much fun.  Decided to make a card background  using some of them.

Art With No Boundaries eZine

This is the cover page of  the Premier issue Art With No Boundaries Magazine/ ezine, full of some beautiful  works of art and; lots of inspiration too.  You can check it out right here:
 Art With No Boundaries
This one is referred to as the mini version with the full version coming in January, can't wait for the full one if this is what is referred to as mini.

I love that it has a clean laid out, a large variety with even some digi instructions, the perfect place for paper crafters.

First Art Journal

 I've had this journal for years finally I've actually began to add some color.  The doll on the cover is a digi from             CS Designs  I find this lady's art work amazing, I love the faces of her characters. This is my very first art doll, being impatient I kind of rushed her along.  Below is the inside cover still to be finished.

All coloring was done with distress inks  Stamps used Tim Holtz, Magenta, Serendipity & Stampers Anonymous.

A Few of My Tags

 I've been making a lot of tags lately so thought I'd share a few of them.  Then I finally made a card with a tag at the bottom.  All were done using distress inks.

Simple

I colored the background stamp with distress markers, embossed the shiny card stock, punched a few butterflies, die cut a flower, simple.

Happiness Is

This is my so favorite stamp set at the moment by Artistic Impressions.  I colored all with copics.

A Couple of Scenes

Most of the stamps I used are Stampscapes, the car is Magnoila, all colored with distress inks & markers.

Friends

This is one of these cards where I had no clue as to where I was headed but I just kept on going.  I do really like my bird with his sparkly fluff.

Oooooops

Keep Calm

This card is for a friend who could use the calmness for a big move coming up.

Hoppy Hello

I colored background stamp (Hero Arts) with distress markers, colored butterfly (Technique Tuesday) with Copics, stamped frog with distress markers.

I need more practice coloring my solid frog.

Colorful Opposites

Geesh been ages since I've put anything on here but I made up for it today.  I'm taking an online class called Kick Start which is giving me so much inspiration and so many ideas.

I got this idea from Shari Carroll doing the white outline, both my pens are dry on the left I used partially the dry pen, a little white acrylic paint on the right I used white enamel.  The backgrounds were done using distress inks as well as the stamped & punched images.

Wild Honey, Fire Brick Red, Peeled Paint, Broken China
                                                              

Colorful Birds

 These were all colored with Distress markers.  Here I challenged myself to choose a pattern ribbon and using the colors for this card.
