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.

TAKE TWO- PUZZLE PIECE RESIST

I had to give it another go....just had to.
I think the more contrast there is between the base card colour and die-cut colour, the better the result will be. However, this card has less contrast but I like the look.
I like the stamp sentiment and how it works with the woodgrain background stamp, that resembles bark. There's one more thing........
....and it's about  the ink. Distress inks. They blend so beautifully together. The leaves were sponged with a green colour, each different, and they were all edged with yellow. I like the look.
 
This technique has a lot of potential. Can you see a birthday card with balloon die-cuts and bright colours? Or pastels and pretty florals for Mom?
What's your take?

COLOUR Q & THINKING OF YOU

Tulips for Spring. Colour Q is giving us a peek at what we can hope to see in a month or so. These ones will last much longer. :)
 
Now that I see this card, I wonder if I shouldn't have reversed the colour placement. I mean, calypso coral for the background and daffodil delight for the butterflies, still edged with cherry cobbler.
For now, I'll share the technique used here.
It's called Puzzle Piece Resist and you can find the full tutorial HERE. 
This shows the clear embossing and the puzzle piece butterflies .
 
 
You can see what others have done with the Colour Q challenge HERE.
 
I hope you can find some time to try the colour challenge and/or the technique.
Flex some creative  muscle today!
