Let it snow @ Simon Says Stamp

Snow, Snowflake, Snowman

that's the challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp

 

 I love this digital image from Meljen's Designs.  When I printed it, I made it big enough to fit this 12x12 canvas.  Colored it with pencils.  Did my canvas background with stencils and ink.  They are hard to see, but there are some stamped snowflakes on the background too.
Had these foam die cut snowflakes in my stash.  Inked them and then glittered them. 

 This is definitely one of my favorite canvases!  Love it. 

Multi Media Canvas

I've been practicing a new techqniue with Ranger spray ink.

I did the first layer with yellow, then layed some flowers and spritze with cranberry.

Using a roll of paper towels, I rolled overtop of it. 

After it dried I hand drew my lady and painted her with acrylics.

 This next canvas I layered papers, scripture and wild orchid flowers.

 The next box canvas I used my new stencil from OWSE. Had lots of fun making this one. Used an image from Meljen's design.. I colored my image with pencils. Added some foam snowflakes that I coated with blue glitter.

PSC52 Let's Celebrate FALL/Halloween

This week @ Perfect Sentiments we are celebrating FALL or Halloween.

  CREATE A CARD WITH A FALL OR HALLOWEEN SENTIMENT.  USE ALL NEUTRAL TONES AND ADD JUST A POP OF COLOR.

 I tried so hard to use neutrals-it's so hard for me.  When I think of fall I think of colors!  Exact opposite right?  My pop of color is red.
I colored my image with colored pencils.  
I used a digi image from our sponsor: Meljen's Designs.
I've been a huge fan of theirs ever since they started sponsoring Perfect Sentiments challenges.  They have some fun & whimsical images.
