Flower card......

This is a birthday card I made recently!

The background papers for this card 

are out of an old paper pack.

The flowers & leaves are made with stamps I carved and fussy cut. 

I added a sequin to the centers of the flowers

and added them on pop dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fear is the reason......

This art journal page was done using a couple new stencils. 

One bought & one handmade

as well as a couple old ones from my stash.

The hearts were cut from gelli prints. 

I also did a lot of doodling all over. 

I hand wrote the quote.

Girly birthday cards.....

I"m trying to go through my old paper stash

and found this old paper pad! 

What perfect colors and patterns for my Granddaughter's birthday cards!

I did a lot of fussy cutting.....

Used some die cuts & punches.....

Ribbons & twine.....

Stickles.....

and a couple of brads!

Distress ink art journal page.....

 This was fun. 

I don't know why but I've been neglecting my distress inks for a while now. 

The houses and grassy stamps are my carved stamps.

The stencil edging is one of my stencils.

I also used some old stamps for the sentiment and flowers.

The white dots are water spatters on the background.

Life is a cup of tea.....

This art journal page was done for the 

Pick a Stick Facebook Challenge.

Below is the challenge outline.....

Create Your Journey.....

This journal page started out with some bumbling around with some gelatos.

After making a mess I left it alone for a few weeks.

Then the other day, 

while cleaning, 

I came across my few distress paints and decided to add them to the background.

I cut the heart shape out of a gelli print

and added some circles with a new stencil I made for myself.

I stamped, added washi tape, the clock face and some word stickers.

I have a few pan pastels and decided to add them to the flower stamps.

I really have to play around with them a little more often.

I finished with a bit of doodling

and 

the edging using another stencil I made and paint.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Journal back to yourself

Here is an art journal page I did recently for 

Mission Inspiration Facebook Group

Here is the mission plan...

I had a lot more fun blowing paint with a straw than I  thought I would,

definitely something I'll have to do again! 

Art Journal play

Good morning! 

This art journal page started out a leftover paint page.

The black markings were done using a sea sponge.

After doing that I didn't know what to do with it so it sat for about a month 

or so.....

Last night I felt like playing 

and thought,

can't ruin it!

So I got out my little tub of gelato's and a couple of makeup sponges.

I smooshed and rubbed several colors all over.

Then again thought....what now?

An owl!

Why an owl

((shoulder shrug))

I don't know! 

It came to me so I went with it!

She was cut & pieced together with a couple of gelli prints.

A little doodling, shading and a quote and here she is......

The "joy" stamp was carved by me!

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great week!

Simple sunflower card.....

Good morning!

I have an quick card to show you today.

I started with a gelli plate background

Added a piece of card stock that I punched with a

Martha Stewart punch around the page punch.

Then topped it with one of the Sunflower stickers that I found at the Dollar Tree.

Both card stock and sticker were added with pop dots

Thanks for the visit!
