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.

'ROUND & 'ROUND

This beautiful sentiment comes from Quietfire Design. 
Watercolour Re-inker is the technique behind the words and it's one of those fun, messy ones. On a non-stick surface, place a few drops of dye ink. Add a few drops of water to each puddle of ink to allow the different colours to meet and slightly blend. Lay the white cardstock on top of the mixed inks and let it sit until you see the colour coming through. Lift off and repeat until you have the result you want. Once dried, I stamped the words, then spritzed with dark pink and silver pearl. The flowers were punched from this cardstock as well. The spirelli was done with a silver cord and attached with foam tape.
I hope you like this card and feel inspired to try any of the techniques used here.
 
Thanks for looking and have a fantastic day!

ROUND & ROUND WE GO!

It's Spirelli! Does it remind you of Spirograph? Me too!
There is an error on this card- did you spot it? Honestly, I never noticed it until I was looking at the photo just before posting this. Decided to go with it for now and fix it later. For the 'feel' of this card, it doesn't really change anything. 
There are some great tutorials online for this technique- they teach way better than I could describe it, so if you're interested, type 'spirelli' into Google.
Have a great day!

So, did you find it?

SPIRELLI ANYONE?

And now for something a little different......
Spirelli, a fun name for a fun technique and doesn't it remind of Spirograph? Remember Spirograph?
Anyway, a bit of thread, crochet cotton or any fine cord can be used. I warn you, Spirelli can be addicting. You will not stop at just one, trust me on this.
THIS LINK  will take you to a website that has a PDF for you to save or print. I think it's very well done. There are lots of videos on youtube as well, just go to Google or youtube and search SPIRELLI.
Here's a look at my sample card- just a few of the possibilities.

I hope you try this.
Thanks for looking and have a super day!
