Art nouveau

 A decorative art movement that emerged in the late nineteenth century; art characterized by dense asymmetrical ornamentation in sinuous forms, it is often symbolic and of an erotic nature.

I always love a paper line that while themed, can be stretched to fit other possible holidays, like this December Mixed Media Kit by Frosted Designs. I was able to use the pattern paper and the mesh that came in the kit to create this Valentine Day card. The inked edges are from the November Mixed Media kit and I can really appreciate the way the kits blend together so that I am able to use all my products!

Colored in the heart stamp with my Sakura Glaze pens to give it a glossy dimension, and used a sticker for the sentiment.

Frosted Designs tutorial using inks

I love, love LOVE the 2013 November Mixed Media Kit from Frosted Designs! I made this 6 x 12" wall hanging using most of everything from the kit!

and a short video explaining the different ways I used the inks:

( OK, so I am still learning how to edit my videos, the caption that comes up saying "opps I meant to say Lemon Zest"..is suppose to be when I am showing the Lemon Zest spray but calling it Fresh Lime!!.. All I can say is, it was in the right spot when I saved the changes!!...ugh!! )

I love the Faber Castel watercolor crayons, they sure made coloring in my digital image easy! I love how you can mix the crayon colors together to get a custom look like I did with her hair.

And the Faber Castell PITT pens made coloring in those tight small spaces a snap!

None of my projects are complete without the use of my Helmar products and popping up her head is one of my most favorites...Liquid Scrap Dots!
