Black Currant Card Set

Posted by Susan on Friday, May 17, 2013 in ,
Here is another set of notecards I made. This set has 6 cards, 2 of each design shown below. For this set I challenged myself to use the DCWV Black Currant stack, which I've had for a while because I thought the paper was beautiful, but never managed to find a layout it worked on. Soooooo, enter notecards :D

Art Journal - Snowman Land

Posted by Susan on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 in
Again, this is me playing with some new techniques on my art journal. If you'd like a detailed walkthrough, please visit my youtube channel for the video on this project.


Here I got to play with both my Dylusions and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist ink sprays, texture paste, glitter, gesso, paints, and paper piecing.

Just a fun little page to celebrate the end of winter.

Serenity Notecards

Posted by Susan on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 in ,
I wanted to make a few small notecard sets to donate to a local fundraiser. I challenged myself to use the DCWV Serenity Stack paper, which I won as part of a DCWV monthly challenge a while back. It isn't my typical colour palette, so I struggled a bit, but I think it worked out okay. Here is the first set of notecards, and more will be coming if I can manage to get them done by Thursday.





I think they turned out pretty well and although I don't expect them to fetch a lot at the fundraiser, I hope someone likes them enough to bid on them.

Happy Birthday Nanny

Posted by Susan on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 in ,
I made this card for my Grandmother who turned 95 in May! It's relatively simple, although I wanted to try a technique where you stamp/emboss a design on vellum and then colour it on the backside of the vellum to see how it plays through. I determined I either don't have the right tools for colouring, or it's just not my "thing" - but at least I tried it. (Click on the image below to enlarge)


Products used:
Bazzill Cardstock
Vellum
Inkadinkado and Stamping Barn stamps
Stampin' Up Ink and Embossing Powder
Martha Stewart Punch
Spellbinders die

Art Journal - Take care of my heart...

Posted by Susan on Thursday, February 28, 2013 in ,
A new art journal page to share and one I had so much fun creating.  Click on the image below to view a larger version.

I used my favorite Twilight/Vampire theme to create layers of paint, paper, stamps and embellishments on this art journal spread. Creating art journal pages is so new to me so I was happy this experiment in new techniques worked out so well.

Here are a few close ups, and don't forget to check out my YouTube channel where I give a more detailed description of each layer used to create the spread.

An even closer shot of the bottom left corner of the layout and the dyed trim.





Comments are welcome - and don't forget to check out the video of this project on YouTube.

Art Journal - Numbers

Posted by Susan on Friday, February 15, 2013 in
My second Art Journal project. I'm still playing with ink sprays, both Dylusions brand and Tattered Angels glimmer mist.

I think I'm preferring the Dylusions version myself at this point, but I'm still trying out techniques.

Here is my latest art journal layout. Click on the image below for a closer look or come check it out on my NEW YouTube Channel:
