I painted this piece the other day, its a chipboard die cut pumpkin with a farm scene painted on...Just a free hand outta my head design...
Little scene painted on a chipboard round die cut, about 1.75 inches, used on a box top as an embellishment...
I am now addicted to making these little pages...they are just too fun...I made a garden theme for this one...I love layering all the elements and using the pattern paper as the background for the scene...
I love using pink and green...and these pattern papers just whispered they wanted to be used for this page...LOL...
I love using the little envy's to make pockets for a goodie to go into...I used a vellum verse attached with brads...
I may have to keep this page...LOL...I love the way it turned out...I used some denim paper, to make the little pocket, then sanded it down to give it an old worn pocket look...the cuttlebug leaf was cut from chipboard and then sponged with 3 colors of metallic paints...I added the ribbon/fiber tied onto the little stem...the vellum stickers are great to use...
I am totally in love with the new images from http://www.innovativestampcreations.com I stamped this image with black ink used my acrylics thinned with water to paint the flowers and leaves...I then used black paint and outlined the entire image again, I spattered the card with thinned green acrylic paint...I sent the card to a friend this week...
I am working on 4x4 pages for a swap I joined...these are the pages I have started...I used scrapbook papers, vellum, stamps, ribbons, flowers and acrylic embellishments on this page...
This is my favorite page, but then, Fall is my favorite time of year...I like the way the embellishments on this page came together...
Snow pages are really fun for me to do...cause its as close to snow, as I like to be...I did enough snow as a child to last me a lifetime...so no snow is cool for me...anyway...this page uses lace and ribbon, as well as a mini envelope turned pocket to hide a little extra that goes with this page...I stamped The Stamping Studio snowman and then used marker watercoloring technique to color him in, then coated with Ranger Glossy Accents...the little embellishments are also glued on with that...
Inside the pocket is a little snowflake ornament...I hope my swap partner likes this one...cause its been real tempting to keep it...LOL...
I like to work with Christmas colors and papers...I combined the coordinating papers and stamped the verse directly on the background, then coated with glossy accents...I added little pearl ornaments to the tree...I used a little cardinal sticker to accent the envy pocket with special gift inside...
Its an ornament...I die cut the sizzix ornament, ran it thru my dots cuttlebug folder and sanded off the color of the dots...i colored the top of the ornament with a gold metallic marker...and added gold thread...I think I know who will get this one...but still got to get all the pages finished before I decide who gets which one...LOL..or which ones I keep and make others to send...nah, just kidding...
In one of the groups I am in, we are having a 4x4 book page swap...we make a 4x4 book page for each person playing in the swap...then when we get all of our pages from the players, we will bind them into a neat little book of "alterted art pages"...I started working on a few of my pages today...and then got to playing...this is how carried away I got...not sure if I will keep this one for my book or send it to a player...but I had a blast making it...
Close up of the detail...can't wait to get back to the studio and play some more...
I love this ISC image...and it fit perfect on my ATC envy die cut http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com ...
Oh my gosh was this fun...I had bought the bottle caps, just had not played with them yet...I joined a swap and got one as an embellishment on a bookmark and was so inspired to pull mine out and play...I smashed the bottle cap with my Sizzix machine, then used a 7/8 inch punch, dont have a 1 inch, and punched the piece from chipboard, painted the little scene, then glued in with Ranger Glossy Accents and covered it...cant wait to make something using it...Now, gotta make some more...
The white spots are from the camera flash...there are no flaws on the balls...
Camera flash shows on decal...this is one side of the Auburn ball...
This is the other side of the Auburn ball...balls only have one side with decal...this one has both sides done...
Auburn ball is $150.00 plus shipping/handling...
This bunny is cut from chipboard, basecoated off white, shading and detail added using acrylic paint, sealed with waterbased varnish...he would make an adorable little pin for Easter/Spring, great embellishment for frames and scrapbook layouts or even as a magnet...
This little pumpkin die cut has always been one of my favorites, cut from chipboard, painted with acrylic paints, makes adorable little pins for the fall, I made a whole bunch of them one year and gave to all my co-workers to wear, we worked at AC Moore...I made magnets and frame embellishments last year for some friends and family...
I used my 4x4 chipboard frame, painted it black, added white acrylic paint writing, like a chalk board...and attached the apple embellishment...I also added a small easel to the back so it will sit on a shelf...it could also be made into a magnet or attach ribbon to the top to make an ornament or hanging frame...
I used die cut chipboard pumpkins for the book covers, Cuttlebug leaf die cuts for embellishments...I painted the front cover with details
This is the opened book, I made ivory colored pages for this book...the book can be taken apart to add photos and other detail to the pages...
I will add more foo foo to the snap ring binding...but this piece of jute, was all I had in the painting studio...I really need to bring more goodies here to use and work with...The pumpkin shapes have sealer added to them...
I used ranger glossy accents to glue the leaves onto the pumpkin...
With my grand kids headed back to school...I am already thinking of something to do with school photos...I used the apple die cut from chipboard, cut a die cut circle out of the center, painted the die cut red, added details and photo...
These can be made as stand up frames, by making a little easel back for the apple shaped frame...or you can make them into magnets or even ornaments...this is the back side of the ones I made today...I just kinda freehand cut out what I needed and glued it onto the frame back...You could also, add the childs name, grade and name of school...
these are the sample photos in black and white from last years school photos...it was all I could find in my painting studio...I thought they turned out pretty good...I will be making more of these for sure...
