Art Journaling for Our Mixed Media Moods

For the current challenge at Our Mixed Media Moods I created this page.

I just knew I would get stuck on Pink. I should've left it there and start all over with other colors, but I kept going on and on, until I was so frustrated that I almost dumped it in the trash. But then I thought I might as well face my bad moods and failures and show it after all. ....... 

Sunshine Tag!

Good morning, my friends!

Over at our blog at Viva Las VegaStamps I'd like to share with you a tag I created with this awesome lady. 

I have used her a quite a bit in the past, for me she suits my creations almost every time.

I started by spraying my tag with Distress Spray Stain and stamped the ray on top. I applied texture paste and let it dry, meanwhile I stamped and fuzzy cut the main image, the hat and the sentiment. I colored the lady and the hat with Koh-I-Noor pencils.

I adhered everything with pop dots.

Some close ups of the background ....

Stamps I used:

198896

Happy Tuesday and Happy Crafting ♥

Under the Weather?

Our new challenge over at the UYS Challenge Blog is ....

WEATHER

It could be a weather themed project, or some weather embellishments (think clouds, raindrops, sunshine, snow etc). 

I have decided to make a small canvas as a wall hanging. I think I already know who is going to get it :)

I applied Gesso with a stencil, when it was dry I inked it up with distress ink in three different colours. I stamped my image on tissue paper and adhered it with napkin varnish. The sentiment is computer generated.

Some hemp cord and a little wooden heart finished my project!

.... and some close ups 

Happy Crafting! ♥

Happy Halloween!

I sent this tag to a gal who seems to care about people in need .... 

Because it`s this time of the year, it happened to be a Halloween tag, could've been any other theme, I just tried to show my gratitude ♥

Happy ♥

For the new Mini Challenge at More than Words I created this tag using my new Tim Holtz "Detailed Butterflies" Die.
