Having a great evening..most everyone else is doing something, so I have peace and quiet to do a lot of my art work for a change! ( Four teens do NOT give a mom a lot of quiet time!)
Tonight I finished more projects, and have been having a blast! Saoirse has already made out her wish list, so as soon as I complete what I am working on, I am to make extra for her.
My first piece is a tag made from some of my favorite Stampotique stamps. I couldn't fit everything on to ATC cards, so decided to do something a bit larger scale. This has also given me another idea that I will share with you later. A kind of fun party favor idea! This was made with watercolors, acrylic, micron pens, and chipboard. This would double as a great bookmark. ( I think my next tag I will use some of my ceramic sea turtle beads on thin black ribbon as well as the teal for effect.)
Made a couple of pendants with scrap, and some more stampotique stamped images. I really love these, and it is a great way to use up any tiny bits of paper! DON'T THROW AWAY SCRAPS!!! Make more art!! Once again, watercolor, acrylics, micron pens, and some scrap papercrafting paper. ( When you plan to use watercolors, and acrylics make sure to seal design before making into a pendant, or you will have a blobbed mess of color when its done ). It is also a great idea to use staZon ink to stamp your images, which makes for flawless coloring with water based mediums. ( copics, or other solvent based coloring a no no with the staZon )
Hope you enjoyed my new projects tonight!
