Fabulous Fall Card


Fabulous Fall Card
Originally uploaded by serra55
My creation in using the wonderful outline provided at GGDesigns website. All stamps except the colors, which are really not quite visible. I used glaze pens which really show off the card and shine! Just use your imagination for that part. I am happy with the fulfillment of the assignment for Charlotte's website. :)

I just created this little tree, purely in acrylics and on canvas. I have thought about whether the season is Fall or Spring...or Summer? I can't decide. It was just sitting in my subconscious waiting to come out.

Decided on a big butterfly since I have no screen art supplies, and wouldn't know where to start! Then I stamped music on in yellow on the interior of the piece.

Really fought with that gesso! It would not dry, and when I tried to paint over it with water color, it didn't like accepting it. But I did prevail! I like my colors.

  Created with buildup of materials, including tissue and newsprint.  Painted in acrylics.  Key is a 'found object'.  The purpose of my creations lately is movement, getting something going on the canvas.

Card for my Granddaughter's Parents

For the baby shower of my daughter who is awaiting the birth of her daughter, Clara Jane. Do you say Congratulations at a Baby Shower? I don't know these things. Anyway, I'm going to say it! I still am not very good at getting the embossing powder off of the card around the stamped image. Hmm... Maybe I can get some help with that!

Leaves and Bumble Bees

Leaves and Bumble Bees
 
A many-layered piece using acrylics, glaze, leaves, spackle and stencils...oh, and newsprint and tissue paper.   I enjoyed every minute of creating this piece and still enjoy its presence.
