Saturday's Workout

The Saturday Workout challenge was to sew an ATC, so I sewed paper to an acetate base stamped with a flourish from Quietfire Designs. My image is from Paper Whimsy.

This is my 4 x 4 with this week's Art Creation Friday background. I cut strips from it, wove it with strips from an old french text paper and sewed it to a piece of silvery paper. The stamp is my favorite swirl from Stampington.

Theme Thursday Challenge - flowers

This is a skinny for the Theme Thursday challenge. I like the look of old botanical prints so I used a stamp from Oxford Impressions on a collage background piece from Digital Collage Sheets. I also recently acquired a rubber stamp version of the Americratika font that I just love from Purple Onion Designs that I used to add the word flowers.

This is my collage for Art Creations Friday. I'm still playing with gesso resist for the background, just tried a different combination of distress inks - I think it was actually FIVE. I thought she looked very far away and wistful, thinking of something else.

Created Byhand Challenge - blue and green

Here is my project for this week's Created ByHand challenge. I read about gesso resist techniques in Somerset Apprentice and tried it on a piece of french text and used blue and green distress inks over top. The image is from Digital Collage Sheets.

Dans ma maison il y a...une femme

Here's my house for Dans ma maison il y a... - this week's challenge being une femme. My version is a working woman - elle qui travaille (I hope my french expresses my idea properly!). I thought about someone locking up their house to go off to work being a slave to time. Stamp credits: Melissa Frances and Inkastamps.

Saturday Workout Challenge

I have been wanting to participate in Saturday's Workout especially when they feature a technique. This faux leather background with masking tape pieces, ink and embossing powder was fun. I made another with different colors and tried different types of clear embossing powder. I don't think it shows on the photo, but a more granular powder like this one almost looked like water droplets, while a finer powder looked more uniform - I liked them both and I guess I'll have to make another project with my other background. Did anybody try UTEE? How did that work? My collage sheet images are from Digital Collage Sheets and Paper Whimsy and I added a rub-on from Bo Bunny.
Theme Thursday Challenge - nautical

Here's my project for Theme Thursday.
I initially used a transparency scrap of a sailboat layered over a stamped piece of background paper and made it into an ATC sized piece. I then mounted it on a peeled paper background piece. Stamp credit: Sugar Lump Studios.
