Creative Inspirations - Inspired by Anything Goes

I discovered by accident a way to combine the Frosted Designs October and November Mixed Media Paper Kits, if you want to know how then you can click on

Happy Accident = Happy Artist

or it can just remain a mystery...;)

I've never used an embroidery hoop to create a wall hanging before, seen lots of other people do, so this was a first for me.

Many of you know that I live in a small apartment which means space is a premium commodity so I have discovered that redecorating the same wreath base means a lot of saved space. One wreath form, and many little bags of embellishments or ribbon to change it out for the seasons.

So this is the summer wreath that has come down:

And yes, I am a matchy kind of decorator, so my wreaths not only tie into the rug at the front door but to the aqua walls in the stairwell.

And my new Fall wreath:

Notice the aqua eyes?

So you can see how I used the summer wreath form to create my little fall owl wreath here in this slide show if you want :)

GOD

First I used a brayer to coat the cover of the journal, ( I didn't want complete coverage, I love the Kraft paper showing through ) next using a stencil with paint, which I then outlined with a pearl paint. The Lord's Prayer was stamped on Kraft paper and then cut out, painted and also outlined with pearl paint.

I think one of my favorite parts on my art journals are the small bull nose clips that I add a cross to. I believe that the small cross embellishment makes a big impact. You might notice a small dot of Helmar 450  Quick Dry Adhesive over the opening of the ring, it helps assure that it won't open and let the cross slide off by accident.

Craftin' Boutique Challenge - Fall Challenge #6
Creative Inspirations - Inspired by Anything Goes
Simon Says - Animal Antics ( crow stamp )

Cardabilities - Designer sketch #81

I had to make a quick card today because their birthday is tomorrow...well, today as you are reading this. I don't know about you, but a sketch, new products to play with and a little inspiration goes a long way!

I won some Creative Inspiration paints the other week and this was the first time that I got to sit down and play with them. The tree and the leaves are all painted in with the shimmery paints; with the leaves, scarecrow and crow being outlined with a glaze pen and the tree trunk outlined with a pearl pen.

I used my FAVORITE adhesive to pop up the leaves under the scarecrows feet!
