Happy Friday!

My card colors were inspired by the clock in this collage:

I'm in love with coral and gold, so this is what I made for a friend's birthday:

Patterned papers are from a 3x4 and a 4x6 pocket cards (CTMH). I trimmed the small card for the "frame" and backed it up with green cardstock.
I stamped the feathers (Unity Stamp Co.), heat embossed in gold, fussy cut and adhered them on the card using foam tape.
I added a strip of washi tape and some hemp. Then, I added some glitter on the "frame".
It's like my little collection of feathers! =)

Challenges:
1. VVV#15: Ombre/Monochromatic
2. Word Art Wed #187: Anything Goes/Family Friendly
3. Simon Says Friends or Superhero
4. Friends with Flair (Unity)

Have a nice weekend!

Mixed Media {Monday}: Gratitude Art Journal Part 2

Remember my Art Journal pages that I almost forgot to post end of last month?

Here's the photo inspiration again:

I didn't have time to write the how-to...so here it is!

How-to:
1. The background was half done! I chose the orange pages from my Smash (the red one)...
2. I had an old overlay cut from Artbooking Cricut Collection (CTMH) and I used it as a stencil for the modeling paste;
3. I painted the modeling paste using 3 different colors of reinkers;
4. Added some splatters with a paintbrush, using the same 3 colors;
5. Then, I stamped on pages using different background stamps (Script is Stampabilities, others are CTMH - D1604 Season of Thanks);
6. I stamped the big flower (Inkadinkado) on a piece of cardstock, colored it with regular markers and watercolored using PearlEx Watercolor CD;
7. I also stamped Script Background stamp on flower, cut it out and adhered on page;
8. I added the dragonfly (Unity Stamp Co.) and sentiment (C1559 Always Grateful - CTHM);
 9. Finally, I colored the dragonflies with Copic markers and added Glitz Glitter Gel (CTMH - retired).

Thanks for stopping by!

Never Dull Your Sparkle Art Journal Page

Hello,

This is a page from my Doodle Smash for Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #2: Around the House, where you're supposed to use household items in your project...

Here are the items I used...

And this is how I did it...

1. I stamped the lady in black on my page, then on Colonial White cardstock. Colored her with Copic markers and cut it out. Added Glitz Glitter Gel on her dress and set aside to dry.
2. Tore patterned paper and adhered on page.
3. Place bag (that orange bag from mandarin oranges) on page and spray metallic gold ink.
4. Stamped Reversed Punchinella in purple and Sentiment in black.
5. Adhered the cut out lady on page.

The bag gave me this pattern:

6. Using the toilet paper rolls and bottle, I added circles to the page (I used metallic paints and different ink pads).
7. Using the ruler, I stamped black lines on the top...they're supposed to be "strings" for the "paper lanterns".

8. Added paper flowers.
9. Sprayed more gold ink on page.
