Another Scrap Page

This page I experimented with painting on my page. I took a piece of Crystal Blue Cardstock and I distressed it with sand paper. I did this to start the layering of of the distressing process and also to help the paint "stick" Then I took acrylic paint and added chocolate, cocoa and desert sand reinker. I was after a certain color to match the deep reddish brown that was in the secondary paper I was using. The picture really doesnt show the true color of the painting but I got really close. Then using a dry brush technique I went around the entire paper and painted. Basically taking the "blue" out for the most part. Then using the treasure life set and the Cocoa ink I stamped some shadowed images on the back ground. Then layered the front with images I cut from the secondary paper. The butterfly is lifted a bit with foam tape.

And there you have it. All supplies were Close To My Heart with the exception of the secondary paper.

First Art Share! Yea!

Well, I got a few things uploaded so I can be "ahead of the game" so to speak in sharing daily art. So here is a layout a did a while back for someone. Its using our silhouette basics (love that stuff) along with twilight textured cardstock and a pattern from Cherish. The flowers and the Title rub on our from other companies.. Prima I believe for the flowers and Karen Foster Designs for the rub on.. ( I think, it could be wrong, just so you know) So off to a good start, I have a few other things but I will save them in case I miss a day of creating, though I am hoping I dont. I look forward to sharing many a piece of work here and I hope you will enjoy looking! Until tomorrow

Welcome to my Art Share

I have decided to have two blogs.. I know crazy right?? But I am starting a new project.. Project 365. This is something I heard about from a friend and basically you take a photo a day and journal about it. So I am going to reserve falline6pack.blogspot.com for that project and do a daily art share here. So I hope you will follow me on both blogs as I embark on this journey of creativity.
