Amazing You Page 2

This is page 2 of the 8 page mini book I started yesterday.

I used acrylic paint with my Gel Press to make this background and apply it to my chipboard page.

"Amazing you" is another stamp and die from Richard Garay collection. The image was inked with archival black on white card stock and then die cut using my Vagabond. Inking foam tool with distress ink was used to soften the edges of die cut image. Little girl image was inked with archival and matte to black card stock and applied to mini book using collage medium. I added a tiny bit of color using distress crayons to stamped image. I added vintage photo around edges of mini book page to finish. 

I'm adding this page as my Day 25 of 30 day coloring challenge over on Kathy Rocoosin blog. 

Mixed Media Mini Book Pg.1

I'm adding this page for Day 24 of the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin. 

I used Tim's collage medium to apply tissue wrap to cover page and then used a plastic spatula to apply a little gesso over the tissue wrap. 

Next, I added a little bit of distress crayons using my fingers to spread out and over the page. 

The little girls image is from Tim's new supplies called; Paper Dolls, these were purchased at JoAnn's. I added trimmed black card stock around the little girls. 

 "Today is the day" stamp and die set by Richard Garay purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Prima flowers, glitz, and a 4x8 inch Maya Road rectangular tabbed chipboard album was purchased at Tuesday Morning. 

All images were applied using collage medium purchased at Michael's. 

Paris and Beyond

Stencils and More! 

I created my one of a kind background using my Gelli Printing Plate with several stencils and plastic grid. 

Eiffel Tower die with embossing folder was added to the tag. Paris, New York and London was inked and embossed. 

Tim Holtz supplies were purchased at the Emporium.

Seam binding was inked with distress ink.

My new ribbon string was wrapped around tag to finish. 

Let's Sew

This image was inked with distress ink and while still wet I rubbed some of the ink off to give a vintage look.
Distress markers were used on some of the images.
The needle image was stamped and added to tag. 

Ace thread image was stamped on tag.

 The hemp cord used on this tag reminds me of supplies I used years ago when I made all of the clothing except for jeans for my family.

 I also made sofa pillows, drapes, quilts and recovered chairs and sofas. Now, my sewing machine is used for craft and small sewing project.
