Spring Challange

rosebudinnh

my newest art work . This was a challenge for this week, anything that makes you think of spring. And I thought of this moment when the birds were helping her dress and the flowers and the music, and THIS is what spring is that wonderful child like feeling you got as a child. I Did her in 3-d so she pops out of the page, I love my birds and the tiny feathers they have so much detail and color.. the fiber trees , the embroidered butterfly.{bought him} all the pretty flowers glued on , and the GRASS, oh my it has tiny green paper flowers and beads sewn on.. Please leave me a sign you were here.

paper feathers

I have discovered paper feathers so pretty, for some reason My colors are not coming out as bright as the card, but they are cute and fun to make. paper thin wire glued then another paper glued to back crease the wire with your finger nails to give it the feather bone look. cut a few kincks and curves and there you have it a pretty paper feather.

paper mache witches hat

I have discovered paper mache , I made this hat out of a paper plate and then added strips of napkins and mod podge, and layered it also used strips and made  paper balls and shaped them into pumpkins, by using extra layers and placing to look like the pumpkin layers. I used pipe cleaners for the spider. I then mod podge string and glued to form the spider web. and then added glitter . this was great fun working on this project with My grandson, He thinks the spiders are real scarrry.......

Glitterville inspired

  I did the witches head and body with paper mache, as I don't have paper clay as of yet.

                                                             OH  SO  WICKED!

    I made the cat with card board base and paper mache he  forever,   I have some photos of the long process of the cat and will post  it another day. My first project of this type.   I really loved doing this one, And I like the wicked witch look also, but I really wanted to make the eyes closed and painted so I made another but different . ...

this one so a lot of fun... love  how the broom  turned out.  All the hats around the base have M&M'S
in them ready for my grandchildren yes there are 4.....her dress has glitter and her black veil. BAAHAAAHAAA HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy hauntings Cricut greeting s

My new cartridge is HERE…… still playing with the inks and using baby wipes to blend colors… I love the bats and the house.  I really need to make time to use this new cartridge so cool… I LOVE IT…. so many fantistic images and layers.....

I just couldn't wait for my new Cricut cartridge so I stared my card with out it. I made my house by drawing over and over again and trying to size it just right. I use bright Brilliance   inks for the back ground added by using a sponge. and dabbing . then to blend the colors I used a baby wipe, works great.... Boo was made by Cricut {Plaintin school book cartridge} Added a personal touch by adding my grandchildren's photos in the windows. I made the black button with polymer clay , easy tip for making these spray mist a water bottle cap with water, then push into clay . round a little ball and stick it to the clay in the cap pull up and it should come up easy... bake to clay package directions.

they look a lot better then they scanned  the scanner seemed to cut off parts of the cards the black is even all around the cards. Feel free to use the photos for your own cards I Google coloring book pages and get a lot of fun images to work with ...

paper and fabric mix media greeting card

The flower is fabric , I sewed the white lines by hand and used sharpies to color.Couldn’t find pink string so I used white string and colored it with the same colored pink marker.The seeds are mini paper brads, yes I used it on the fabric… I never follow directions, just go with the flow and try not to rock the boat. hahaa… hopefully this will get me back in the crafting spirit..

folded half circle Christmas trees

rosebudinnh in  paper craft Hobbies


These are so cool, and easy I love them…. Use double sided paper……If you dont have any just glue two pieces of light weight paer together. I like one patterned and one plain color …now cut a large circle out of the glued double sided paper . { I used a saucer for a coffee cup.. experiment with the size. bigger circles taller trees. Now cut the circle in half , and youll have 2 trees ready to fold. Fold in triangle shape of tree then repeate folds as shown in photos………. would love to see your trees and cards….

thank s for taking the time to leave me comments so I know your looking..... Love to hear your feed back on my projects......................
