Three Muses - Nature

I created my card with a technique learned from Jan D. (A Journey is her blog) that she shared a year or two ago. Started with smearing my paper with gel medium then applying a napkin. Next, more gel medium over it. Once it was dried, I painted red acrylic paint over it quickly, and wiped most of it off. Dried it again. Then, schmeered (lightly!) over it with turquoise acrylic. And there's a great background. Thank You, Jan!!!! I did smear a bit of gold ink over it here and there. I also applied the turquoise heavily to the edges, so you can actually see a roll of it. I used some forest images, a bit of lace, and a butterfly and here's my card. Thanks for looking!

Sunday Postcard Art - Darkside

Oh boy oh boy...getting ready for Halloween!! What a neat theme "On the Darkside." Conjures up all kinds of ideas! Once again I went to the collage sheets at Moonlight Journey, started with their postcard sheet and then sprayed it with Tattered Angels Halloween sprays. I assembled my images, enlarged the border with black, orange and purple gouache and some glitter. So, here's "Wicked"!

Halloween Shrine

Halloween is coming!!! Ok...maybe not right around the corner, but it's coming! Hopefully, the hot weather will cease and desist by then so that it feels really Halloween-y with the falling leaves, fresh apples, pumpkins...witches flying...speaking of witches, I created a Halloween Shrine with Moonlight Journey's "frightening" collage sheets! I love the labels...they are awesome and can be found here:

Friday Foto Collage

I told Peggy I certainly would try to answer her wonderful challenges at Friday Foto Collage, and finally, here's one I did today while trying to rest my back (MRI table always does miserable things to my lower back...especially when you have to lay perfectly still, flat on your back for an hour). So, good...it took my mind off my back and I used one of those silicone "finger" pastry brushes in a technique I read about (quickly) at TJ. I colored the image a bit with watercolor pencils and found an old package of rub-ons I figured I'd better use. The little sprite Peggy gave us to work with certainly was a real treat! Thanks, Peggy!!! Hope this one is A-Ok!
