Dans Ma Maison

Here's my house with a key. I used some tissue paper, then used acrylic paints. I overpainted, used a large foam stamp to remove some of the paint to reveal the color underneath.

Theme Thursday - ATC with a Bird

Here's my ATC. I sprayed MyTatteredAngels Olive Vine and Spiced Pumpkin on watercolor paper and smooshed it together with saranwrap. I used the elements from Keeper of the Nest to make this ATC. Thanks for stopping by!

Three Muses - Numerology

I've missed several weeks here :o( I've been in constant pain while waiting for surgery later this month. And I was working from home, which was difficult. So, I decided and was able to retire! Lots of stress is gone...but pain pills don't help me create at all. But I had to participate in this challenge. Bev's art is so gorgeous, I was inspired. I used an Acey Deucey stamp as a mask and Stampers Anonymous Ledger collage. The coloring is all Luminarte. Thanks for looking...

Gothic Arches - Inventors

Ivar Jepson. Who is he??? Well, he's the man who transformed Sunbeam from a manufacturer of sheep shears to one of most household appliances. While the mixmaster had already been invented back in 1885, he refined it and made it an easier appliance to use. Before, it was like an industrial product, even sounding like a big machine. Jepson designed so many products from meatball makers to garden sprinkler. Yet Sunbeam execs trashed most of his documents and files which took Ivar Jepson into undeserved obscurity. So, thank you, Ivar Jepson, for your wonderful designs and inventions...all homemakers certainly appreciate you!

TGIF - White

I haven't participated here for a long while. I made a tag using images from Digital Collage Sheets. I did use bubble wrap to "stamp" white acrylic paint onto the tag, but it doesn't show up at all in the scan. Still, the white challenge is lots of fun.

Wings on Theme Thursday

I'm working on a banner project and thought I'd use one for this theme. I used a favorite paper - Steel Toed Mary Jane - for my background and a favorite Paper Whimsy image. The rest are bits and bobs. So, my Wings - "Fly". Thanks for looking!
