printables and sample

green card from hobby lobby pad of paper, blue card stock American crafts,  jeaniesdesigns printable, silk seam binding, Heidi Swapp flower (michael's),  Mixed Media ink- peridoto and jazmin, green archival ink from clearsnap (no color on it), plum tattered angels mist.  

I used the mixed media ink to go around the edge of the green card and  the green archival ink to go around the girl print. I used plum mist to color flower then add a little Jazmin MM inx....i got mist on the ribbon so just went with it....added just alittle 

items used: white and blue (American crafts) card stock, jeaniesdesigns printable, mess dry wall tape, silk seam binding, Color shine chartreuse spray, exacto knife and mat. 

I spray mess dry wall tape with chartreuse color shine used dry baby wipe to clear excess up and used that to go around the edge of print. cut girls out with scissors then cut small areas (in between arms with exacto knife) used foam tape to raise girls up off of the mess dry wall tape and ribbon then added a bargin flower.

some more Clearsnap fun

i used ancient page black ink and embossed the simple flowers. then colored with smooch  in siren, gold lame and  sugar berry. then i used each to on the single stamp i made by cutting off the end simple flower molding mat then mounting on cling mount foam and stamped on card to form 1st layer of background.

I used golden fluid acrylic green paint on edges and around flowers below. i used a Christy Tomlinson stencil and log cabin smooch spritz, chestnut roan chalk ink, and sparrow mix'd media inx chox for the browns.
I really meant for it to be just the flowers for a back ground but i just wanted to play with my fun stuff and i love collage.....we will do this as a fun background in my art journal class. 

and the finished card i did add a little white paint but i think i like it better without it....??? bright and happy no matter what!
