Halloween projects

 Well, I have been busy making some projects and wanted to share ... there are some other ones but I can't put them up yet ....

                                      

Christmas Cards

some of the other ones I have made and am trying to get them all addressed and in the mail ....

The one of the Wise men has a background of gold leaf thru a stencil

The red one has glitter paper behind the cutout poinsettias and the background of the ornament is gold leafing ... my gold leafing I use the most is a mix of several colors 

Art Journal

I have been doing a bit of Art Journaling ...

This is an easy one ... using Tim Holtz collage paper on the roll in a tube, washi tape, stamps, pre-packaged leaves with Tim's crackle paint over them, die-cut copper leaves that have been heated, and regular cardstock die-cut leaves with Distressed Oxide inks to give fall color on them

More Cards - 2 Christmas

The one in the middle is the same style card as the Christmas card in the other post just done in different color scheme with different trim ... makes for a really different looking card ... oh the paper is from some of my stash about 8 or so years ago ...

The 2 Christmas cards are kind of self-explanatory, I did use 2 sizes of circles die cuts to make the wreath which you might not have known how to do ...

Doing some Christmas Cards ...

Yes, it's getting close so I need to get more made ...

You can't see the 3 Wisemen very well in the photo but they do show up in real life, the gold is a gold leaf layer on 4" double-sided tape with the stencil then you take the stencil off and add loose glitter to stick to the rest of the tape add the diecut over that ...

# 7 of the Altered Book Round Robin

This happens to be the last in the 2019 RR ... the theme of this book was Stencile your Art Out ... so all she asked for was use a stencil with your spread and have some aqua color ...

These are her grandkids, she also wanted bright colors even Neon and I didn't really have Neon except in Gel Crayons that were for my grandkids

This is my favorite stencil and I love using modeling paste with it ... 

She is a Mermaid on land so I found these images in my stash, I used the Wink-of-Stella clear pen again on highlighted places but it just doesn't show in photo's, this is a Finnabar stencil and it's becoming one of my favs also

Some cards made in Nov.

Life has really been getting in the way of my fun ... these are a few of the cards made in November that I am just now getting posted ... I think there were others but I didn't get photos of them before they were sent ...

wish upon a star, may all your wishes come true!!!

thankful for so much especially family ...

could be birthday card or anything ...

More cards but not Christmas ...

I was running short or regular cards so had to get some done ...

Did a bit of scraps and glitter work along with dry embossing and gold leaf

Embossing with gold super fine powder and some pearl-x in water to spritz flowers and matt

these are doing Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks and spritzing with water then doing the droplets of water ... quick easy and pretty ... oh the black flowers are die cuts as well as the Happy Birthday

A few more Christmas Cards

Think I am thru designing and just need to settle on one to do several cards ...

This one was fun to do ... after cutting out the Tim Holtz tree trunks thinlette die I got out one of his stencils that reminded me of snow falling and did some embossing paste with it and dusted "Distressed Rock Candy" glitter and gently pressed it into the paste ... let that dry and drug my "Faded Jeans" distress ink onto my falling snow embossing folder then embossed a white cardstock for the background ... when all was dry I mounted them onto a silver cardstock card

Now it's time to start Christmas cards

These are a few I have done so far ... simple and fun ...

Fifth Altered Book in this RR

Her theme was "Pocket full of" ... whatever you wanted ... mine are flowers and butterflies ...

Second Book in RR

ok I have now finished book 2 of this Round Robin ... the theme was "Face Off" but not as extreme as the TV program ...

This one is Mother Nature and her Fairy helpers - my drawn faces

This one is Beauty in Simplicity - done with Tim Holtz crayons and Inks

Another Altered Book Round Robin

These are photos of my book before I sent it off so that will come in August or September ... as I complete my work in each of the other books I will post them ... my theme "Night Circus" so I did a pocket for sign-in tags, Fortune Teller and Tree with all the lovely lights ....

One more Fall ...

I am running behind in my card making hopefully I will be able to get it together in Oct. .... LOL
