One Bad Ass Art Journal 2017 week 7

Hello and happy hump day peeps!

Today I'm sharing another page (or in this case, pages), completed for

my Bad Ass Art Journal class.

I completed week 7! Woo Hoo!

This week's instructor is none other than

Tracy Weinzapfel of Tracy Weinzapfel Studios blog!

Here are the pages I created following her tutorial:

I didn't have the weathered wood medium, but I do have crackle paste, and that's what

I used for this project. I layed it on thick in some areas, and thinner in others to 

achieve different sized crackle. I just used a paint brush to apply it, and I love the

added texture that left on my pages!

I also happen to own this awesome stamp set by Tracy called Wine Time,

so of course I needed to use it. I masked the grape bunch to make it look

like they were hanging off the edge of the page. Using DecoArt Americana and Media Fluid

acrylic paints, I painted the images. Once dry, I went over the outlines using

both a small and bold F-C Artist PITT pens.

My sentiment was not my first choice. I had printed and cut out the quote,

"Wine is bottled poetry" by Robert Louis Stevenson. But when I adhered it

with matte medium, it smeared so bad! Lucky for me, I happen to

have accrued almost a dozen various stamp sets all to do with

drinking alcohol of some type, and found one large enough to cover

my oops. Crisis averted.

Here are some close ups:

So that's it for now. Thanks for visiting, and thanks to Tracy Weinzapfel

again for such a fun tutorial!

Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #79 G is for Green with Envy

Hello snarky peeps and welcome to another challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! This fortnight, it's all about the color GREEN. We want to see green predominately on your cards or projects, but they don't necessarily need to be a St. Paddy's Day themed card.

One of my friend's birthday happens to fall on St. Paddy's Day, so I've made a birthday card

with green beer for her:

 and a little snark on the inside. Big. Surprise. There.

Yes, I am younger than her, and yes, she'll get a kick out of this. My mug o'green beer was stamped and colored with Prisma Color pencils. The foam was created with embossing paste. Once that dried, I noticed that the ink from the top of the mug really bled through the paste, so I went over it with a white gel pen. And then I saw a white line. So out came the Diamond Stickles to mask that. Worked like a {lucky} charm. (See what I did there?) Of course, I couldn't resist a bit of snark on the

inside of my card. I even colored in the second line using one of the pencils used on the mug.

Now it's your turn! Just link up your green themed card or project at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers so we can admire it! For more green inspiration, please do check out what my Sisters in Snark, and our new Guest Designer, Josefine, have created for your viewing pleasure. 

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #267 - Learn Something New (to you)

Hello crafty peeps! This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we challenge you to try a new (to you) technique. Whether it be something that's been around for years and you've yet to try it, or a brand spanking new technique that's all the rage, we'd like to see it! For my card, I tried out the shaving cream technique. This was the first time trying it out. It is messy. It is fun! 

Here's the finished inside:

I have about a dozen Spectrum Noir reinkers, so I used two of them for my project. I pretty much followed along exactly from the video tutorial. The only thing I did different was instead of putting another panel in the shaving cream, I smooshed the two panels together, then pealed apart, wiped them off and let them dry. I cut one of them down to size for my card. I loved trying this out! The only thing I don't really care for is that now my card reeks of shaving cream! LOL!

I hope to see what fun new (to you) techniques you use on your projects. Please be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash so we can find more techniques to try, I mean, to see what you created! While there, please check out what my teammates came up with, and leave them some bloggy lovin! Thanks for visiting!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #204 - Red, Red Wine

Hey there! Happy Tuesday to you all. We've a new challenge starting today at SHOPPING OUR STASH! This week, it's all about the color red, or wine, or both! (a liquid refreshment near and dear to my heart! LOL!) Here's the card I made:

A wine themed shaker card? Yes please!! I looked on the Google for wine bottle clip art, Once I found a simple outline, I printed it out, fussy cut it, and used that as a template to trace around on the back side of the main panel. Then I cut it out with an X-Acto knife. (I suppose I could have just printed it directly onto my paper panel, but that would have been way too easy!) I went around the edge with a black marker to make the shape stand out a bit more. Then I went in search of red and silver sequins to fill the shaker with. I love that sentiment and knew I was using it for the inside of the shaker. I forgot to take a picture on the inside, but it say "Seriously." (Insert Dr. Evil laugh here) ☺

So, ready to play along? Sure you are! We'd love to see what you come up with, so be sure to link up your card or project at Shopping Our Stash! Please do check out what the other lovely ladies came up with for this challenge and leave them some love on their blogs! Thanks for stopping by!
