Step on the scale! GPP Crusade #40

I made this project for crusade #40. The challenge was to work in a size you are not used to. I still couldn't bring myself to pull out a large canvas and I saw several people used paper bags for their project. I had a large paper bag with a handle so I cut it apart to use as the base. I added several coats of Golden's Absorbent Ground. I had read that you could use colored pencils on it. I have a stack of old letters and used one to make the face. I did the face with pencils and watercolors. I dessed my lady in some of my favorite scrapbook paperThe backround was done in pencil and then I did watercolors over the top. I used my Slice to cut some leaves from an old National Geographic magazine that had been treated with Desolve-it. I also added a fancy leaf that I cut on my Cricut. I coated the whole piece with Matte medium. After it dried I covered the handle with ribbon and pearls. I added a piece of ruffle to the bottom and added rickrack to the edges. I also sewed on a pearl necklace. After all was done I found a large piece of chip board and glued the paper bag to it. I added glossy accents to the lips and eyes and them added a sunflower I made with my Spellbinders Wizard dies.

More new samples/ acident prone

First of all let me explain the accident prone part. I slipped and fell in the shower yesterday. I landed with my ribs on the side of the tub. The bruise is amaizingly small. Thankfully, I was finished with my shower and so I just sat there and turned off the water until I could get up. I don't think I broke anything but I will go to the dr. tomorrow to get it checked out. BTW, no the shower curtain won't break your fall especially if it's on a tension rod. LOL Ok not realy funny. It only hurts when I breath, bend, cough ect. But I digress, I have more card samples to show you from After Midnight Art Stamps.












Well, I know I don't talk much anyway....usually, but due to the pain level, I think I will just leave it at that. Thanks for looking

I was looking at a sight with Kawaii characters and thought to myself....anything with a smile is cute. So I decided to play with some of my spellbinders shapes and see if I could make some cute characters. I love this paisly birdy. The paisly's are cut from felt. The deer were actually my first experiment.Which do you like better? The one with or without the scallopsNext up is a kitty and a puppy. These are great if your like me and cut out lots of extras. You can use up those extra die cuts and punchesThe last group is a happy cupcake, sleepy kitty and a cloud? Ok that one is kind of a reach but it is smiling so therefore it is cute. LOL Anytway, if you make some yourself I'd love to see.
