Creative Jump Start 2014 - Fly (Art Journal Page)

 

HI!  I have signed up for Creative Jump Start 2014.  So far it has been lots of fun and very inspiring! 

The overall theme is using household objects in your art.  What fun!

 

In one of Natalie's first video's she encouraged us to use a very interesting household object to create cool texture ... like I did here!  Curious .. sign up for the course and find out what made this awesome design.

 

When making it, I used Liquitex Gesso spread over the entire page, then used the household object to create partial circles of awesome texture! 

 

 

Added home-made sprays and Gelatos for colour.  Then collaged a bit with some bits and pieces in my stash.  I really like how the bird turned out ... it is cut from grungeboard (Ranger) then painted with more Liquitex Gesso, then  stamped using more of the turquoise home-made spray.  The brad was rusted (followed France's technique) and then some white spray added to it and more of my turquoise home-made spray to look like patina. 

 

So much fun.  I have so much more to share. Stay tuned!

Take 3 Challenge - Susan's Sketch - take 3

Hello!  I am assuming you are here for my third take of my Take 3 Challenge where I used one of Susan's sketches seen HERE to create 3 different cards. 

This time I wanted to try something different so I pulled out my gesso, grabbed some dark cardstock and got creating!!  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  The dimensional stickers are from my local Dollar Store! 

My son thought this one was cute!  He liked the idea of a zebra being "one of a kind"!!  Cute!

Well, that is it, all 3 takes using this sketch!  I tell you, I just can't get enough of this sketch so you know you will see more cards using it in the future! 

Thanks for dropping by my corner of the www!!  Enjoy the rest of your day!
