Sending Hugs - Handmade Florals

 Good afternoon creative friends, welcome back to my blog. 

We had a two day ice storm here in northern Ontario this past weekend which allowed me to hibernate to my craft room.  

I have been wanting to dig into my floral dies and designed this card. The background is a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders. I inked the paper with Black ink then ran it through with the Embossing folder. I splattered it with gold metallic ink. 

The florals are from Elizabeth Craft Designs by Angelica Turner. Florals 26 and I created a Gerbera Daisy . Inks are from Catherine Pooler. 

My pulled out my Glimmer machine and used a Pinkfresh Sentiment set. It has been a  while since i have used that too :) 

I hope you like my card and thank you for dropping by today. 

Materials Used:

Pinkfresh: Blanket Stitched Octagon along with

I could not find the link for the Glimmer plate Perfect Sentiments, but i did find the stamp set

Feed Your Soul - Sizzix

Good Morning Creative Friends:

Sharing with you an Art Journaling Page

"Feed your Soul: Do What you Love"

This is designed using the Feed Your Soul by Cat Kerr Mixed Media for Sizzix.

This is my second page I have created in my Art Journal and its a very different process than my card making or mini albums.

I used the larger stamp set and only inked the floral part of the stamp to create a border and i love how this turned out.

thank you for dropping by today. I hope i have inspired you to create using this awesome release.

Breathe: Do what you Love - Sizzix

 

Good Morning Creative Friends and Happy Friday!

Today I am here to share something different than my usual style. If you have have followed me for a while, you may have come to know, that I am a card maker, a mini album maker and maybe even scrapbook pages. But have you ever seen any Art Journaling from me? I would say NO!

This is my first ever Art Journaling Page, i have always wanted to just dabble into this form but thought it to be be messy ( i am not a fan of dirty hands in my projects) 

When Alexis, from Sizzix reached out to me to see if i was interested in working with Cat Kerrs latest release, i said I would try it. And this box arrived last week and i was a bit nervous to dig in. 

My base is a Canson Mixed Media book with 60 pages. I had no idea where to start, what journals to work with, i had this in my stash and thought it would work. I began by applying a thin coat of white acrylic paint, and let dry. 

I blended in acrylics from Amsterdam and as nervous as i was with each layer of color i put on, ( i did heat set in between layers as well) i was amazed at how this turned out.  I have a Native heritage and feathers are sacred to us. 

So i started my first page using The R's have it Set! 

I had no plan in mind, just grabbed colors i liked, and used my brayer and brushes; 

I hope i have inspired you to give this art form a try, i did!

Materials Used:

white and gold embossing powder

Amsterdam Acrylic Paints
