COLOR WASH!

Pink Paislee's "Color Wash" line is so awesome!!  I was fortunate to get some of this collection as part of my "Design Team" box.  I haven't used it yet, but I took it out yesterday to get ready!  I can make so many things with it!  From cards and tags to art journal pages and mixed media works.  The possibilities are endless!

I got the 12x12 paper pad, the acrylic stamp set, layered cardstock frames, printed canvas stickers and tags.  The pastel colors are perfect for summer, and the paper has a distressed look to it.  it has splashes of color, with washed out areas.  The stamps are sooo cute with the "#"!  

I can't wait to get started!!  Are you working on summer projects now?

LEFTOVERS

When you are finished with a project, what do you do with your leftovers?  Left over paints and inks and papers and.....?

I always use every single bit!  I keep the papers and I wipe off my paint brushes on them.  Or I glue left over pieces of paper and ephemera to a new piece of paper and then wipe off my brushes on it or use up excess paint.  Then, when I make a new project, I have tons of beautiful backgrounds to choose from!

The first one is from the back of my spraying box. I then added one of my celery stalk roses to it and doodling.  The second is leftover Gelli Plate Printing, with a left over piece of a previous project.

I hope you put your leftovers to good use!

A DOODLE....

I made this paper napkin background for the Fall 2013 Altered Arts Magazine.  I've been hoarding it since then, just waiting for the perfect "something" to add to it!

Today, I am sharing a Doodle I made using Yasutomo Mineral Paper (which I am obsessed with) and Gel Xtreme markers.  The markers glide over the mineral paper so smoothly!  It is a wonderful combo to work with!!

 

If you LOVE to doodle like I do, you have to try it with roller ball pens/markers and mineral paper!  You will LOVE it even more!!
