Make Your Own Designer Paper

My background was made using tissue paper and gesso on card stock, and then colored by pouncing with alcohol inks. This method (except using deli papers) is found HERE.

My flower is the same one that I used for a card two days ago but I have bent  the petals and leaves more. All parts of this flower were made with hearts and flowers punches.

This week's theme for the One Stop challenge is Make Your Own Designer Paper.

Art Cards - Bookmark/Card

This is my bookmark card for the Artekarten Challenge. Hand-decorated background made with alcohol inks. Stamps are by Stampin' Up.

Rainbow Lady - Faces

Theme Thursday - Bright Colors

Oh, I had fun with this one. Theme Thursday's theme is Bright Colors. Are these bright enough?

My flower is made with various sized heart punches. The small part in the middle is a special kind of flower punch, but everything else is hearts, including the leaves. I used pink card stock for the petals and touched up the edges with distress ink. I used brown kraft paper for the leaves, which I misted with green homemade mica mist. I edged the leaves with a green dye stamp. The sentiment was added digitally.

TIO -Steampunk

Having only the vaguest clue as to what steampunk means, I am entering this tag aware that I may have missed the boat. I used a background from freezer paper that had been serving as my craft sheet. I used graphics fairy and dover images. My stamps are Stampin' Up. In the spirit of steampunk (I hope) I have used a straightened out paper clip for my fastener.

Steampunk is the theme for this week's Tag it On!

This will remain as the top post till June 1.
