Flower babies

Here's another card for the craft show stack but for this one I also used the monday lunchtime sketch over on technostamper.



i had the images all stamped, colored and ready to do something with and when I saw the sketch I just knew they would be perfect for it. In fact I had several of these laying on my table and several recent sketches all have long skinny pieces so you will be seeing more of these cute little guys!



The little stamps are from a CTMH set called Flower Child that I just LOVE. The background stamp is fern leaf tooled leather from Starving Artist Stamps and is done using the Opalite Infusion tachnique from the Feb 2008 Technique Junkies newsletter. The small stamps are colored using prisma pencils and mineral spirits. Having been a colored pencils artist for many years before scrapping this is one of my favorite techniques.

well off to clean off my desk - UGH!!!

lots of playtime :)

I have several completed items to share. I did not do these all in one weekend they have just been in various stages of completion. i don't know why but i seem to do lots of things at once instead of one thing at a time.
the first card features crackle paint which i love in fired brick.



the next two cards feature technique junkies techniques

the first has a pounced background using iridescent glass paints. the stamp is embossed with Ranger's gold detail embossing powder.



Next card is opalite infusion - hte shimmer doesn't show as well in the photo. the cut out dragonfly also has this technique used on it. I am not as happy with this card but wasn't sure where to go with it :P
