Day 36- #90daysofblogging

I  have a post up on the SinCityStampers Blog.  I did  a shabby chic card using the Madame stamp set.  Love those stamps, I get  to color small faces.  I love  the shabby chic style and girlie grunge, haven't yet perfected them.  I don't know about you, but I also have a problem with clustering flowers although I love how this card came to into fruition.  Hope you can stop by and say how do.  You can find more complete post here.

Have a grand weekend I am sure I will..  ::smiles::

Day 8- #90daysofblogging

TGI Friday..

Announcements first.. my blog post will be available on the Helmar blog some time today by clicking here.  Should be available sometime after 9am EST in most cases..

In the mean time, here is a sneak peak..
at my artistic process..

I took this corrugated board piece from Michaels and added book papers to I used Helmar's Decoupage paste to adhere book papers and the other half was Deco Art's Acrylic Gesso.  Then I colored using some Neocolor IIs.

I covered more than half the letter with neo IIs..   Took a wet brush and washed the color a little.  Painted the base of the letters with Deco Art's Multisurface Satin Black Tie.  I also sprayed my project with 1:1 Water to Ultra Matte Varnish to kina help act like a workable fixative for the water soluble crayons. I know i wanted to possible be able to stamp  and doodle on top of the letters.  I edged my letters with my Faber Castell, black gelato.   Once that was done, I decided to try my hand at someflower clustering.I adhered an assortment of flowers to the letters with Helmar\s Craft and Hobby PVA.  I actually clustered flowers.  I know I can do better.. but this was fine for this was fine for this sign.  Let me show you one of my clusters.  ::smiles::

  Well that's enough for now.. I need you to go to the Helmar blog and see it.. and leave me a NICE comment so I know you came by.. :)  I do appreciate YOU and YOUR TIME!!

Helmar DT Teaser.. StarBook

Good Day All!  Here in the United States we are experiencing winter time and frankly I am tired of it! (smiles)  We have quite a bit of snow and the cold temps mean, it won't melt anytime soon!  In the meantime I have got to transplant myself into something that makes me happy!  I looked around my room and I decided I would play with something that had been hoarding.  ::hangs head low::  I just love these papers by Susan K Weckesser .. they make me happy!  With them, i decided I would create a star book!

I cut my papers in sets of 6.  4x6in; 4x7in; and 4x8in.  I then got out my Helmar's Craft & Hobby PVA Glue and lined up each of the 3 pages and glued the edges on the 4 inch sides only.starting with the longest sheet (4x8) and ending with the shortest sheet (4x6)

  

Since the 4x6 pages are the decorated card stock I decided to add some cool *color and bloom* related quotes and fussycut some of the flowers. I wanted my quotes to attach quickly because I didn't decorate the page BEFORE I attached it to the book (kicks myself) so I used Helmar's Super-Tac Glue to embellish the pages quickly.  Then I wanted to decorate cover and add a fibrous ribbon for closure.  I used my Helmar's ZapDots to add dimension the title page.

I am sure as my daughter and I sit back and read the quotes.. We will embellish the book further with faces, paints and doodles because, that's what we do.  We complete books together.  We make up our own stories and use these dreary wintry spring starved days like today to remind us color still exist within us.. :)    Would love for you to check out my finished project by CLICKING HERE and leaving me a bloggy love to know you came by.. I would also like to do the same for you!!

Thanks for dropping by!!!  Have a great week!
