Playing with spackling paste and stencils

                      

              

The top two have the same pale cream color card stock. I don't know why I can't

get the original (left) to show white on cream. The second photo is where I painted

in with acrylic colors. The 3rd one is where I changed the colors with Photoshop

Elements. The fourth one is using another photo changing program. The last two

are just digital images, but I could print them out. I like the white on cream best.

I mailed a similar card to my daughter-in-law and it got there intact!

Something crazy for PPF

This rug has so many funny images in it. Ever since we got it years ago, 

I have found people, birds, and animals in it. I decided to take one of

those images and do a painting in Caran d'Ache crayons. I am entering

this in the Paint Party Friday challenge.

Playing with Alcohol Inks Again - PPF

I started with alcohol ink on acetate using 2 greens (meadow and lettuce),

a blue (stream), gold, and eggplant. The gold doesn't show well at all.

I didn't care for this combination and neither did my "friends" on FB, so

I used a photo altering program to change the colors (photo2). I thought

I could see a face so I rotated the photo and outlined images I saw in white

gel pen. This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

BTW - Is anyone else having emails not reaching bloggers to let them

know that there is a new comment on their blogs? Now almost all of

them, but not all, are coming to me with: mail delivery failure.

Easter Joy - WAW

I had this wonderful background I had made using spackle paste,

giving it lots of textures. I splotched it with various colors of acrylic

paints. It looked like Easter resurrection to me so I drew a dancing

woman disciple showing joy over the risen Christ. The text for the

Word Art Wednesday seems to fit right in with this.

Alcohol Ink and Acetate - PPF

I found some sheets of acetate in my husband's old papers and decided

to try alcohol inks on them. This turned out so pretty, I think.

Next I used a sponge and leftover alcohol inks and I blotted all over

a sheet of computer paper, adding a bit of gold. I did a bit of stamping so I had 

an overall design.  I overlaid an acetate sheet on top of this, creating a 

shiny surface.  I made a card or two using the acetate/paper combination.

This is my entry for Paint Party Friday

Doodle and Cards - PPF

This is a ballpoint doodle I made in a waiting room this week.

I colored it with pencils when I got home. This is my entry for

Paint Party Friday.

These two cards were made by the same method as

the cards from a couple of days ago, using waxed

paper on glossy card stock. The surface was colored

by sponging Distress Ink on it.

New Cards I made this Week

On three of these cards I used the crumpled waxed paper and hot iron technique.

Some have Martha Stewart punch outs. Some of the flowers were made by me

using my flower punches. Other embellishments were bought at the Dollar Store.

More Acrylic Painting - PPF

Here is my first painting where I have deliberately put green on the face

and body. I made a background using the Splitcoast Stamper method of

doing a homemade mono print. I used glass to put the acrylic paints on

and then pulled off a smear of colors for my background. Then I just

painted this face freely onto the background. I think she is really ugly

and is a bit cross-eyed, but this was fun to do. It is my entry for Paint Party Friday.
