a fall wood project today

it's that time..yup, craft fair season and my first one is tomorrow. here is  last minute project I am taking with me
:)

a chipboard birdcage

so this is done with the Tim Holtz birdcage die..love this thing! I used tattered rose distress ink on the cage, inked the bird with tea dye distress ink, and the background is done with shimmer mist in a rose color sprayed directly on the chipboard, giving it a brown/rose color. added a few feathers, my handmade paper flowers and gemstones and buttons.

:)

hand made paper flowers

yes, my addiction to making paper flowers is alive and well. this week I tried making  some from vellum..love how they turned out. I think I will try the vellum with my cheery  lynn cutie dies next.

so here are a few pics, my new vellum flowers, my basket of larger flowers, and my box (need to alter it & pretty it up) of smaller flowers,.
:)

your possibilities are endless

I made another 8x10 mixed media canvass today, here it is, stamps are unity, I used paints, distress inks and some paper on here. :)

love blooms

Yup, I finished another art journal page. the stamp is from unity..love me some unity!!! :)

takin it to canvas

It's Bethuary!

yes you read that right, this month is my friend Beths birth month. we have dubbed it BETHuary. So I made her this tag as part of her gift. I made it with chipboard and added magnetic strips to the back so it is a magnet. teh flower is made from punches and cheap card stock, but i love the dimension I got from it.

making fun flowers

hah happy accident here..I was using my lindys stamp gang starburst sprays & I used a paper towl in the box use to spray in..well teh next day I went to spray something else and saw how pretty the paper towel looked..so my brain started thinking hey, I should try to make some flowers with this. so I used my bigshot and nesties and wow..now I have some very pretty flowers, and I recycled!!! gotta love happy accidents
