Look at the colour of that shirt!!!

These photos had been sitting for some time I was wondering what to do with them.  The photos here of Jason's shirt don't show the intensity of the flouro green that it was....Last night I took some kraft cardstock and with white gesso painted it.  After it dried (not long as we have been having some hot summer evenings here) I applied a mixture of green and yellow Gelato crayons to try and match the colour of the shirt.  Then into my stash I went and found Project Life Honey Edition papers and cards = perfect to match all the different colours in the photos. Stickers and drawn lines completed the layout.
Thank you Bax family for your friendship and I love catching up with you when I am in Missouri and remembering the adventures we shared with many more to come I am sure.

Budgerigar Card

Image
 This week I created the following card for the ladies at my two community groups that I lead: I used AALL&Create Budgie stamp.  The budgerigar stamp was on special and I think I have an idea why.  Look at the budgie on the right - looks in need of a feed - so I when I gave it a feed using my black marker he looked well fed!   I also used masking of the bird then applied paint 'dabbed on' and when dry a stencil with Black Soot Distress Ozide ink completes the card.  Such a happy card.  Thank you for looking.

Junk Journal

Image
It has been awhile since I last posted - where does time go?  I recently developed and run an introduction to junk journals and embellishments.  I donated part of the small cost to the Community group where I lead classes for their mission efforts. Here are some photos of what I prepared for the participants.  The journal cover was constructed from one 12" x 12" (30cm x 30cm) folded into a smaller size.  My sample shows cotton fabric I coloured with distress and alcohol inks.  Students received tea dyed ribbon. Cover plate features cheesecloth and lace behind the main image - bird from a magazine. The journal on the right was completed by one of the participants in the workshop. We started with a simple tag seen on the bottom.  Next was a simple to construct belly band.  Clusters can also be made along the band and then cut off later for clusters to be used in the journal.  I love the simplicity of these bands that are great for decorating book pages. Next onto collaged belly
