12x9 Watercolor Mixed media Butterfly Plaque

I have been doing my Sould REstoration and it has come to and end, BUT i was gifted with Soul Restoration by a lady i met through SR1! So i will be starting that The first week in June. BUT before that I will be starting She had 3 hearts Art Journaling Course starting Tomorrow! The lady that teaches this course taught a class called She Art. I never got to take that course, but i have been able to see some of the ladies go through it and i have learned some techiques through watching. So I made up this plaque, that i will be listing on etsy for $19.99. I started out with watercolor paper, Stamped my image of a butterfly, and watercolored it, in the yellows, oranges and browns. The background i wet, with water, then watercolored with blue, and then i sprinkled salt all over the blue and left it to dry. Which gave it the effect. I then rubbed off the salt, painted grass with same technique by wetting the paper, then painting in the green, letting the green bleed into the blue. A natural effect for grass. I then tore up tissue papers, one just green, one green with little glitter dots. modpodged them on. I covered chipboard flowers with scrapbook paper scraps. Added rub ons, paint effects, and doodles. Theme of spread your wings and fly! I added scrapbooking paper on the edges with writing, and i LOVE it. I had fun making it, and i hope that it sells!(even though i hate to get rid of it! lol) Thanks for stopping by! I will be back with an album i made this past week as well.

Birthday Gift

I have been taking a course online, called Soul Restoration with Melody Ross. It has been so amazing and healing for me. We do Journaling, and art projects to get on with dealing with the hurts and devistations in our lives. To promote healing and knowing that your not alone. I was also gifted with a class coming up on the 24th i believe, called She had 3 hearts. Another journaling/Art online course. This one taught by Christy Tomlinson. Thus brings us to this peice of art. I was inspired by her techniques, and used them to produce this peice for my dear sweet friend Melinda. She is a blessing in my life and a true dear friend. I wanted to depict that in the theme of it and i think it turned out well. (I know she is pleased, i waited to post after she received it!) I hope to be doing more things like this with the mixed media techniques.

Dare To Dream Special Order Chipboard Album

I was asked to make this Dare to Dream Album for a special order. I so love the papers. It is intended for a boy, so i used my Bo Bunny papers, i had on hand. Love the green, blue, deep red, creams etc in this paper, and the wings, crowns, lions, etc. So fab.

I did this album in ONE day...im exhausted and i cant think of a thing right now! so just enjoy the pics! LOL.

What a HOOOT

I made this card for my nephews wife, who is graduating from nursing school! I think its to funny! I drew up the nurses hat and put it on the one owl. I think its fab! Hope she likes it.

Special Order Cards

I used some graphic 45 paper for the background along with some Lost and Found papers from MME, chipboard hearts and tag I covered with red bazzill paper.


The Together Forever card was a CASED card, i cased it from Amy Sheffer on the Verve Blog site or her blog at Pickled Paper Designs. I used another sheet of lost and found paper on the background, craft paper which i embossed, and bazzill paper that i hand cut into a heart and a corrigated peice of paper as well. I added and rolled flower and some rhinestones and a pearl the sentiment i set up on word and printed it out. I added lace and silk seam binding. And 2 roses for accents. The last card is done in some new papers and embellishments i got at my one stop shopping place A Cherry on Top my favorite online store. Butterfly Garden by Pink Paisley. LOVE it. I added clear dew drops and some rhinestones and some crystal glitter from martha stewart.

Two Baby Boy Albums Special Order

i had a request for 2 baby boy albums. I used my teddybo digital images for the one album with October Afternoon papers, I SO LOVE IT! Both albums are 12 pages front to back , machine sewn, lots of tags and areas for pictures.

The second album is An Airplane theme. My friend Melinda had this cute Penny Black Stamp that we used for the image on the cover. I colored both images with ProMarkers. I also put " ....what little boys are made of" On each cover. I think they turned out sweet! I just posted a few pictures . Thanks for stopping by!

2 New Cards

I made another of the teddybea cards. Of Teddybea on a swing. This time in different colors. This image is so darn cute!!! I so enjoy coloring it. A little tip on making the teddybea's fur look like fur...if you look closely. I first color it the color im coloring it, in this case caramel with promarkers, and then i take the blender marker and swirl it around and to make it more highlighted in the center i just keep blending.

The second card is a lili of the valley image, and i just love polka dots!! So had to do her up with red and white! added some buttons, stickles and On both images i did use crystal effects to make the tea set shiny and glass like, and also on the teddy bea card, to the butterflies, and lady bugs etc. Just for some demention and fun!
