Wendy Vecchi Mini Journal Page

I created a this page in my Wendy Vecchi Fat Little Mini Book. I stamped her background stamp in Archival Ink and colored in each square with different Archival Ink Colors and a small blender tool. The large flower is a Wendy Vecchi Art Part. I heat embossed it with a mixture of distress embossing powders and enamel embossing powder to add more texture. I added a Wendy Vecchi button and tied a bow with Tim Holtz trim. The stamp is a Wendy Vecchi wood mount stamps, I only used a part of the sentiment. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Card Challenges #18 - Anything Goes

It's time for another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week we have everybody's favorite "Anything Goes". It's never too early to start on your Christmas cards! I can't wait to see what you create.

For my card I used a Magenta Stamp for the images and the sentiment is by Hero Arts. I colored the images with Copic markers and added some Pico Embellisher to the berries, but you can't really see it in the picture. Thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #23 - Dimension

It's time for another challenge over at the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge. Our theme this month is "Dimension." Just create a project that has some dimension. Our guest designer is the fabulous Wendy Vecchi!! She's made a gorgeous inspiration piece. Our sponsor is Stampers Anonymous. We will have TWO random winners and they will each receive a Wendy Vecchi stamp set and stencil!! How awesome is that?

 I had so much fun playing with all my Wendy Vecchi products. I ended up making 8 pages filling up one of Wendy's Mini Mat Fat Little Books. Here is one page in the book. I will share the other pages throughout the month. 

For this page I created the background using Tim Holtz Crayons and a Bret Weldle stencil. 

To create the flower I stamped a Wendy Stamp from a set called Sketch Art on her Whiteout paper. I used Ranger Archival Ink to stamp the flower and Wendy Vecchi Archival inks in Tiger Lily and Orange Blossom to color in the flower. 

I used a heat gun to heat up the flower and bend the petals - that's the cool part about her Whiteout (and Blackout) papers. The center of the flower, the heart, and the leaves are Wendy art parts. To color the leaves I painted them with white Gesso and then added Wendy Vecchi Archival ink in Pink Peony and Ranger Archival ink in Rose Madder. Then I stamped on the leaves with a Wendy background stamp. The fence on the bottom is a Wendy Stencil and I used Wendy's Embossing Paste colored with Tim Holtz Wilted Violet Distress Spray Stain. The sentiment are words from Tim Holtz Chit Chat. 

PaperArtsy Art Journal Page

I'm on spring break this week, and I found some time to play in my art journal with my new PaperArtsy stamps and paints. The paints are all PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk paints and the stamps are PaperArtsy by Emma Godfrey and Lin Brown. The circle stencil I used is Dylusions. Thanks for stopping by!

I took a few photos along the way.

I started by brayering on some Cement Paint

Then I brayered on some yellow that was really bright so I toned it down with more Cement.

I added some Beach Hut using a piece of Cut N Dry foam.

Then I added some Bouganvillia with a Dylusions circle stencil.

I thought it was a little bold to be a background so I toned it down by randomly patting on some Pixie Dust with a piece of Cut N Dry Foam.

These are the paints that I used.

I used a new Emma Godfrey stamp set to finish the page. Two of the sentiments are from a Lin Brown set. I used Black Ranger Archival Ink.

Christmas Card Challenges #17

It's time for another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week we have a Color Challenge. It's never too early to start on your Christmas cards! I can't wait to see what you create.

For my card I used a Unity Stamp Company stamp.  I colored the image with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz ephemera pack. The rectangle dies are from Lawn Fawn. I used a white gel pen on the snowflakes. I love to use stamps that don't require any other images on the card. This one creates it's own little scene. Thanks for stopping by!
