Welcome!

This is my place to share my creative bits and pieces. My art has no rules, no limits and absolutely no order. My projects change with my moods but for the last few years, my main focus has been paper art. Cards, collage, mixed media and as many techniques as I can get to. My inspiration comes from everywhere.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

THE FLIP SIDE

I just wanted to show you the revised card. I added some flags and bling. Then, I flipped over the
M-Bossibilities folder and did the same technique using that side.
This such a fun technique!

My post is up over at Quietfire Creations so please go have a look. Here's a teaser....
Go see what the other designers have been up to as well, if you haven't already.
 
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

FRIENDSHIP.....PRICELESS

My DH and I have always known how blessed we are with the friends we have. We've reached an age where life has proven many times, how important friends are to us and 'who' they are. This beautiful sentiment from Quietfire Design sums it up perfectly. We hope we've been a sheltering tree for others.
The technique here is Embossing Folder Print and it's so easy. Inks are dabbed onto the folder after you decide which side of the folder you want to use. I use my art journal to do test stamps so I can choose my end result. Once inked up, a light spritz of water moves the inks a touch. Then you lay the card stock over it and smooth it all over with your hands, or a brayer or an acrylic block or your bone folder.....you get the idea :)
For this card, I gave it a little spritz of walnut ink as well, then completed the card. I think it needs a little something in the top right corner. What do you think? I have bling or a small pennant could go there, or a button. Or nothing at all? Let me know.
 
I hope you have steadfast sheltering tree friends in your life and that someone thinks that of you. As I said....priceless.
 
Have a fabulous day and thanks for looking!

THANK YOU- STACKED

Hi! Today I have a card that has lots of pieces, like a puzzle. The background is Embossed Puzzle, a new technique from Technique Junkies. The 'thank you' is a stacked design using die cuts that have been cut in half, then layered behind. Rather bold looking.
 
Thank you for stopping by!
