Be strong, Hold on

Greetings! It is time, once again, for a new challenge over at Inkspirational! This time, we have a photo to inspire us. I love this photo! Probably as it suits my decorating style.



 

For my project, I created a card. I began by placing a stencil by Stencil Girl over a water color panel. I then sprinkled several shades of blue Magicals over the stencil and sprayed with water. The focal point at the bottom is an image by Dina Wakely as are the sentiments.

 

I hope that you will stop over to see what the rest of the design team has created and then create a project of your own to share with us.  Hugs, Yvonne

Serendipity

 

Greetings! Time once again for another challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu! The Pink Team selected "Florals" for their theme. I hope you will stop over and check out all the beautiful projects and be inspired to create one of your own to share with us.

 

Mine began with a water color panel. I laid a Stencil Girl Stencil on the panel and sprayed Sunshine Yellow and Pink Bubblegum Dylusions Ink Sprays through the stencil.  I picked up the stencil, turned it over and smooshed it around the rest of the panel to use up the excess in and fill in the panel.  The image and sentiment from Tim Holtz for Stampendous were stamped on scrap card, trimmed and water colored and added to the panel. The panel was matted and added to a card base. Thanks so much for stopping by.  Your visits and comments make my days! Best, Yvonne

Under the Sea

Greetings! It is once again time for another challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge.  This time, the theme is "Under the Sea." I hope you will stop over to FSC to check out the gorgeous pieces the rest of the Design Team dreamed up to inspire you and then consider creating a piece of your own to share with us. One lucky participant will be selected to win a gift voucher from our sponsor FlonzCraft. Please remember that we are a stamping challenge. You will find complete rules over at FSC.

For my own piece, I began with a water color panel and added water colors in multiple shades of blue and green.  I then stenciled several shades of Dylusions paints through a Stencil Girl Stencil. The colors were a bit vivid so I sprayed the whole panel with Linen Dylusions Ink Spray. I stamped various stamps by Oxford Impressions onto tissue paper and collaged them onto the panel. A few shells were added for dimension. Thanks so much for stopping by. Best, Yvonne

Every Summer has a Story

 

Greetings! I have a card to share with you today for the newest challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu where the theme for the Pink Team is "MidSummer." Lots of ways to go with this one.  I chose to use one of my favorite stamps by Crafty Individuals and a new to me umbrella stencil by Stencil Girls.  ChitChat stickers and Dylusions Ink Sprays on water color paper and a touch of torn fabric and a sprinkling of seashells complete my card.  I really enjoyed making this.  Thanks for stopping by and I always enjoy your comments.  I hope you will submit a project of your own for the challenge that goes on throughout the month of June.  Best, Yvonne

Peace and Love

 

Greetings! My post today is for the new challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu for the Pink Team where "Anything Goes!"  I have really been bit by the Mixed Media Bug and wanted to try to use some of my newer stamp images from Stampotique and Kate Crane.  The background is a Traci Bautista Stencil by Stencil Girls that was spritzed with water after sprinkling on Color Burst Crystals.  The stencil was then turned upside down and more color was applied to the panel.  The hand carved images by Kate Crane were dipped in paint and added next.  The angel and sentiment were stamped on scrap card, trimmed, colored with TowBow Markers and adhered to the panel as shown  Touches of gold paint by Golden were added.  The panel was matted with black paper and added to a card base. We look forward to seeing what you share with us! Take care, and as always, thank you for your visits and comments.  Hugs, Yvonne

Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog today! Just had a play with a bunch of new mixed media products for no particular challenge.  I began by laying down a new stencil by Traci Bautista for Stencil Girl, sprinkling it with several Color Burst powders and spritzing with water.  I then turned stencil over and put more color down on the rest of the water color panel.  The stamps are brand new and came from across the pond.  Kate Crane hand carved them and sent them my way!  Love them.  The focal image and sentiment are also by Kate Crane for Stampotique.  Thanks so much for your kind comments and visits. Hugs, Yvonne

I am Woman, Hear me Roar!

 

Greetings and thanks for dropping by.  Sharing a canvas I finished recently.  I was in my art room perusing my stamps and decided to ink up these beauties by Dina Wakley for the first time. My eyes fell on these sentiments by Unity Stamps and I was ready to go. After gessoing my canvas, I added a number of Gelatos to the canvas.  Using my finger dipped in water I blended the colors.  I decided to mute the colors by adding a wash of gesso and water to the canvas.  The large circles are a stencil from Stencil Girl, colored with more Gelatos.  Additional marks were added with Titanium White Golden Fluid Acrylics and Ranger Archival Ink using more Dina Wakley stamps.  The drips and blobs of Aqua Ink are by Dr. PH Martin. The women were colored in with Gelatos and the sentiments and woman were all shaded with a Stabilo Pencil.  Thanks for your continued support.  Hugs, Yvonne
