It feels SO nice....

to know I have some things designed and created for MY ETSY STORE!!!

I thought it might be nice to create some embellishment items that others can do faux techniques to....to make them their own creations........Here's a quick peak and you can check them more out at my store........It was fun working on them today and designing and cutting the packaging header....

I can't believe this is the last working day of my vacation....WOW it's went by fast but so far I've indeed completed alot of what I was striving for.....Tomorrow my youngest, Dylan...will be 15!!! He, Craig and I are going to Louisville to have lunch at Joe's Crab Shack....unfortunately my oldest, Billy...has to work and won't get to go....but I'm looking forward to us having a great time..........

Well, that's about it for me....Just wanted to drop a quick note to say HELLO and share my exciting news about the re-opening of my ETSY store!!! I want to, as always...thank you for coming by to visit with me....I do hope you will come again!!!!!! Have a very blessed Saturday everyone!!!

It's been a great 2 days...

So far I am really enjoying my vacation......I decided I wanted to make some different flowers that I can use for a multitude of ways.......thought I would share the cut files I created...which you will find below each mock up I made of the different flowers........

For this first one I resized the flower in Inkscape a couple times then brought into SCAL and cut I also used the leaves I created...they are below the last flower I'm sharing.......I cut all the flowers for each of the designs with white cardstock and then decorated all of them with an aray of Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Embossing sleeves, Rubber Stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders, sanding block and brads.......If you have any questions on the techniques I used on any of these please feel free to email me and I'll be happy to try and answer your questions.....

The next project I worked on was this ATC....I had to do 12 of these for a swap in the Paper Craft Planet ATC group.......I took an image into Corel PSP and removed the color from it and printed it off onto watercolor paper......I then used my Watercolor pencils to color the lady's clothes, hat & bow.....I used my Copic flesh color marker to color her face and neck....I used my Copic colorless blender and some of my Tim Holtz alchol inks to color her feathers in her hat......the background of the image I used several different layers of Tim Holtz Distress Ink......stippeling it on with makeup sponges........The frame I designed and cut with my Cricut...designed in Inkscape and brought into SCAL and cut........then I coated with Versamark pad and coated with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder in Walnut Stain and embossed....I LOVE the aged metal look it gives them....love love love that look!!!! Wrapped 2 colors of ribbon and added 3 purple rhinestones of staggering sizes.......With having to do 12 of these it definatley took some time but I am happy with the results.....I LOVE the look the Watercolor pencils give!!!

Have more fun....

It feels so good to just play again....creating where my muse leads me and even getting swaps done before they even come close to being due!!! Yeah for me!!! LOL....So tonight I decided to work an an ATC Swap Vintage them for my group ARTHaven, Creations & Friendships and this is what I came up with.....

I found the background image in my graphics program and printed it onto Water Color Paper with my Laser printer......then I created the image on the top layer by tweeking some images I had and merging them together...printed off onto paper with my laser color printer then coated with my Omni Gel (one of my favorite new ART supplies!!) once dried I sumberged into water to soften the back and rubbed off carefully the back layer so only the image was left on the Omni Gel Layer...a WONDERFUL tutorial from Angie Hall Haviland here's her tutorial link... once that was dried I then attached my background layer to a thick cardboard base then put a layer of Omni Gel on the back of the image transfer and attached to the background layer....wrapped the edges around and then applied a bit more Omnigel on the back....allowed that to dry....I added some lace, ribbon, decorative pearls and a button with ribbon to finish it off.......I'm quite happy with the end result!!

Though I did not create any cut files to make this piece of ART I thought I would share with you the images in case anyone might be interested in them!!!! If you would like them please click either the image or the designated area....

Ok, that's it for me tonight!!! I want to THANK YOU as always for stopping by to visit with me!!! I hope everyone has had and is having a VERY blessed day!!! Please come by again...until then!!!

I played....

And had fun yesterday......was for the most part a very relaxing day.......I was working on an upcoming Mingle for my group ARTHaven Creations & Friendships the theme is Hangie Dangle......the theme is supposed to be for Travel and incorporate a postage stamp.......This is my creation....

The size I choose to do mine is 5"x7".....I used "digital stamps" I created from all my gazillion graphics I have on my computer.....I collaged a few images together after removing the white backgrounds and saved them as pngs......the suitcase I decided to do dimensional so I printed it seperate.....Once I designed the size I wanted it to be I printed it off with my Laser printer and then colored the bird, cattails & leaves with my sharpie and bic markers and then went over the bird with a watercolor pencil and blended it into the image some......I then stippled the edging with several different colors and the center with Tim Holtz Distress Inks before all the stippling I tore the edges of the image.......I layered it over a black then burgandy cardstock...I stippled the burgandy edges with black distress ink........I trimmed the edge of the image with some fancy fibers and the bottom edge with some fringe......

The suitcase I distress with some ink then colored with sharpies and then covered with a versamark pad and covered with clear embossing powder and embossed.....cut it out and then layered it over a second suitcase image to give it dimension......the cattails on the image I covered with glossy accents and the took some minced up yard and covered the cattails to give it the fuzzy look of flocking without the expense.......I cut the words with my Cricut I created the wording in Inkscape then pieced together.......The backing of the Hangie Dangle is cardboard (recycled from a box of something that was previously purchased) give it just the right amount of stiffness to it.......

It felt good to do a Mixed Media piece of ART again and know I will be doing more....I enjoyed using the "digital stamp" again though I've been doing it for years and years LOL...just didn't have that "fancy name"...... :) I've attached the image of the suitcase and the collage I created if any one is interested in it....I also have down below the word file I created in Inkscape.......Just click the image or the designated link.......
