Art Journaling for Our Mixed Media Moods

For the current challenge at Our Mixed Media Moods I created this page.

I just knew I would get stuck on Pink. I should've left it there and start all over with other colors, but I kept going on and on, until I was so frustrated that I almost dumped it in the trash. But then I thought I might as well face my bad moods and failures and show it after all. ....... 

Sunshine Tag!

Good morning, my friends!

Over at our blog at Viva Las VegaStamps I'd like to share with you a tag I created with this awesome lady. 

I have used her a quite a bit in the past, for me she suits my creations almost every time.

I started by spraying my tag with Distress Spray Stain and stamped the ray on top. I applied texture paste and let it dry, meanwhile I stamped and fuzzy cut the main image, the hat and the sentiment. I colored the lady and the hat with Koh-I-Noor pencils.

I adhered everything with pop dots.

Some close ups of the background ....

Doilies at Use Your Stuff!

Another fun challenge at our UYS Blog.

We ALL have doilies around, don't we? 

I love to color them a bit, this time I used Pan Pastels in Bronze. The background is colored with Distress Spray Stain in different warm colors and stamped with a background stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps. The die cut birds are from Sizzix, a Tim Holtz design.

The sentiment is a stamp from Inkadinkado.

12 Tags of 2016 - December

A last minute project again ... I'm not much into Christmas anymore, so I almost forgot this tag.

Ok, I got out my paper and stuff again and created this tag keeping pretty close to Tim's inspiration. I wasn't able to make the shadow box station work for me, so I decided completely against it and embossed and heat embossed the paper with my stitches folder, looks good to me ....

Some close ups ...

Happy Crafting ♥
