For the flowers, since I don't have a variety of ephemera colors I decided to cut some digital flowers out with the Silhouette Portrait, then color them/color over them. I also don't have a lot of stencils since I'm new to stenciling I had the Silhouette also cut the words and the triangle shapes on... Continue Reading →
Really enjoyed this lesson on color harmony and on canvas. I had some canvas boards on hand. Had them for maybe 2 or 3 years for a rainy day when my daughters might want to paint. Took one apart to paint in smaller blocks (see previous post for example). Ephemera by Pink Paislee. Stencils by... Continue Reading →
Sorry for the bad quality of photo. There wasn't enough light and I upped the ISO pretty high thus the graininess. This assignment asked for stamped butterflies or similar but I don't have a lot of stamps so I decided to create the butterflies in Photoshop and overlay with digital scrapbooking papers (which I have...

Die cuts from Wilna Furstenberg. Cut them out with the Silhouette Portrait then stenciled them using gel matte medium with some white acrylic paint. For the grayish colors behind the other cut outs, I used calligraphy ink by Parker, and added a little bit of water to lighten up the ink. Patterned paper by Amy... Continue Reading →
Writing with paint was a challenge. I used Wilna Furstenberg's premade script and painted over it as she did but it's not as easy as she made it seem. I enjoyed it though and hope to continue working on my text painting. Used Amy Tangerine patterned paper and ephemera pieces by Teresa Collins. Love badge... Continue Reading →
I'm enjoying the Color Theory class by Wilna Furstenberg. I'm learning so much about painting and colors and how they work together. I knew how to match up colors and such before but I didn't know how to really work with the colors to achieve a certain look which I think I have a better... Continue Reading →
I used a rolling pin and bubble wrap to create the stamps. The acrylic paint brand I used is Reeves. They were a little on the darker side so I mixed a little bit of white in. The journaling flower is from an ephemera set from awhile ago so I don't know the brand. The... Continue Reading →
I'm taking an online class at Studio Calico called Color Theory by Wilna Furstenberg. It's a crafty paint type of class and it's strictly fun but I'm learning a lot more than I had imagined. The first week covered impasto. I didn't have pink acrylic paint (is there such a thing as pink acrylic paint?)... Continue Reading →
I created the above paper layout by following the steps from Wilna Furstenberg at Studiocalico.com. She used gel paint in her tutorial but I don't have gel paint so I used what was available to me, which was, gel matte medium, and acrylic paints. The intricate die cut was created by Wilna as a freebie. ... Continue Reading →
Created this layout for my This Is Me binder. This Is Me was a class I took a couple of years ago at Studio Calico. Basically, the instructor provided prompts and scrapbooking ideas to get you inspired. The title (This Is Me) is however you want to translate it but the scrapping/documenting must have everything...
