LAYERED Card with chippies and Blooms

Hello and welcome to my blog 

I love you all, my "Arty friends" ,

Today I am sharing a card I created for a friend .

Earthy greens and sandy hues with white splashes of gesso and beads . 

I used Dusty attic chipboard and Maja design papers and the gorgeous flowers 

are from 49 and Market.. I just love these blooms . 

Friendship - birthday Card .

My trademark layering on the front of the card .

The dusty attic chipboard, Maja design papers and the blooms from 49 and Market 

all complement each other perfectly .

thanks so much for dropping by my blog 

take care and happy scrapping till next time we meet .

love and hugz to you

VINTAGE GRUNGE and RUST

Hi there my friends 

here I am again showcasing an art journal page with you .

I have my mojo back and I had such fun with this piece .

I love old Vintage photographs and I found this one 

of an old rusty car full of memories and intrigue ..

I wonder what this car would say if it could talk ??

GRUNGE ART JOURNAL PAGE 

MY BACKGROUND IS CREATED WITH 

texture paste, fabric and ink ..

no particular technique just splash it on and have a play with the palette knife  

Dusty Attic chipboard layered, inked with Tim Holtz inks
black soot, weathered wood, ripe persimmon and rusty hinge ..

 and finally I applied glossy accents . 

thanks so much for looking at my blog 

have a play with your texture paste and inks and see what 

you come up with 

it is fun .

big hugz and love to you all

bye for now and see you all again soon xoxo

TESTIMONY 

Winter is my very fave time of year. 

I love to sit by a roaring fire sipping hot chocolate 

Wearing a think bulky hand knitted jumper and socks.

I love gazing at the frosty mornings as the mist rises

 to the morning rays of the winter sun.
