Cancer Cannot - Lighthouse

Hallo,
This is another in my little series of experiments that I worked on and finished up back on tuesday.
The main image size is 5X7 and the complete size is 8X10.
The lighthouse is from Stamps Happen.
The Cancer Cannot poem is from Cornish Heritage Farms - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I really love this poem!!! I know so many folks battling Canceer right now - this is #3 I have done so far and have at least 4 more to make - only 2 more with the lighthouse, then will need to do some with flowers....
With the main image, I did alot of playing - watercolor, clear gesso, stamped the lighthouse onto a white paper napkin and glued on with gel medium, stamping on to the watercolor paper, more paint - gouache this time, distress crackle paint and ink on chipboard, and glimmer mist on chipboard, stamped the poem onto vellum.
The main image is mounted on top of handmade paper.
All for today - have today off then work all weekend, so I will see you on Monday again. Have a Great Weekend!!!!

Hallo,
While I was playing with my peerless watercolors I did several of these moths from Gina K http://www.ginakdesigns.com - I colored this one pretty much the same as yesterdays cut him out and edged him with the gold krylon again - and used the last of the scrap of beading cord for the antenna.
I still had the white craft ink out so I used it on the floilage (also Gina K - as is the phrase).
I used several shades of yellow for the cardstock and added some orange baubles at the last minute as the card looked like it needed just a smidgen bit 'more'.

All for tonight - I am off work again tomorrow and hope to play a bit again - the kids have their 3rd swim meet tomorrow after school.

Chalkboard Butterfly

Hallo,

I had a little time and energy for the craft room today (it was almost a hard choice between craft room and going back to bed - busy weekend at work and only one day off and back to work tomorrow).

I have been seeing this technique lately and decided to try it. First I used one of my square nestabilities and just embossed the square - then I masked the edges and stamped the flowers, phrase and the butterfly (moth accually - i see now) all in white craft ink and heat set to dry.

Once dry I took my white koh i noor pencil and added shading to the flowers and the moth.

All the stamps are from Gina K http://www.ginakdesigns.com/



The colored moth is stamped onto watercolor paper with memento ink and watercolored with Peerless watercolors - I recieved a pack in my cruise goodie bag back in october and hadn't played with them since the cruise - except to order a bigger packet from MFT so I had more colors :). They are really easy to use!!!

I cut the moth out and edged it with my gold krylon pen. The antenna I had cut off so I replaced them with a scrap of beading cord with a knot on the end (it was about a 6 inch scrap laying on my desk from a differnt project).



I liked the way this one turned out - I may have to make a batch to have a few on hand....
Well thats all for tonight - more to show you tomorrow.
