Poppies and Sunflowers Canvas

I still need to add words but love the colors in this canvas. I used cut paper for the sunflowers and texture paste mixed with paint, applied by stenciling. Doodling the details is the funniest part.

Zipper Tab Card

I had a lot of fun making my first zipper tab card. I started out making a sample one but ended up using it as a birthday card with a surprise inside for my daughter’s 30th birthday. This turned out great. I can’t wait to make more!

Masculine Card

Men are hard to make cards for.  I scanned an image of a truck stamp and traced it so I could print and cut it from my Silhouette.  I colored with Copic Markers to add interest as I wanted the truck to look like worn paint.  I made my own caution sign using simple shapes.  A lot of fun!

Bee Card

Sometimes you don’t plan things. They just happen. Never thought of using marbled colored paper with an embossing plate, but in this case it works well. I love how the layered bee from a Silhouette file turned out. The only thing to add is a sentiment. Why? Bee-cause!

Bloom Where You Are Planted Canvas

 

 

 

Some people are “Inside the Box”.  Well, I am “Outside the Box”.  I’m started to get a feel for what comes natural to me and that is a sketchy look.  I don’t have to color in the lines.  I can doodle all I want.  I do say that I get a lot of my inspiration by looking at what others create.  I take all those images and come up with a general picture in my mind.  Sometimes it comes out pretty darn close, but most of the time, it is a completely different look.  This is probably one of my favorite canvas’s I finished.  The hardest part for me was putting the lettering on as I didn’t want to mess up the rest of my work.  I think, it turned out great.  I loved doing all the doodling and with each piece I learn something new.  Art is “Outside the Box”.  You have to take risks.  That’s the one thing I love about multimedia.  If you mess up, you can paint over it:)

 

Birthday Canvas

I needed a gift for a 30th birthday. Here’s what I came up with. I used some of the paper from the background in her 3D card (file from SIL studio).

I used paper, paint, texture paste, wasi tape, pieces of screen, stamps and markers.

Simple Cards

Sometimes simple cards are the best. It’s the texture, layering and embellishing that gives them their personality.

Handmade cards

Just had to share a few of my cards I’ve been making.

Multi Media Canvas

Yes it’s been too long since my last post. I’ve had a lot of personal things going on causing some health issues. Here’s what I’ve been up to. I just started making these canvases. Hope you enjoy! A lot of my inspiration comes from Pinterest:)

Digital paper

I’m loving the freedom of the Cameo Silhouette Designer software. I’m branching out and coming up with ways to be more creative. I created a pattern of little bugs and dropped it into my print and cut shape. Walla! The possibilities are endless!
