Close up of second half front view


In these last 3 panels I used rubber stamps and foam stamps to create the designs.

for the first one (left to right) I colored a piece of card stock using acrylic paints, I then randomly stitched with a sewing machine, a piece of muslin previously painted with some lumieres and water, applied gel medium to the center of the piece, some UTEE (gold) and stamped a fleur de lis with some "embossing ink" just to be able to release the stamp easily. I then rubbed some purple acrylic paint on the top.

On the second panel, I used rinse away paper wet over a foam stamp, let it dry overnight and colored and stitched over fabric the next day.

The third and final panel is nothing but a piece of friendly plastic stamped and inked, glued to a piece of paper colored with acrylic paints and stitched.

I colored the material with different Adirondack paint dabbers and stamped them away using my bandana stamps for the back side of my project.

I stamped using ink and paint and after all of it was dried I sprayed the whole back with water and perfect pearls.

Bandana Mania


Ever since I started to be addicted to "bandana everything", my kids started to wear bandanas too!
In this layout I used the wrinkle free distress technique over a plain white piece of cardstock. When I was pleased with the colors I sprayed the whole page with gold perfect pearls and water.
Glued my photos and stamped away.

Layout using crackle paint


I added red mahogany and spiced marmalade distress crackle paint to this layout, mainly around the edges and on top of the curly embellishments made out of cardstock with a cuttle bug die cut. The big swirl is a piece of many elements made out of chipboard by Technique Tuesday.
I was very pleased with the look.

Star Book

Star Book

Star Book


I made this pretty book for a class, I used some kind of bluish-green cardstock from bazzil and everything else is just a plain piece of white cardstock that I colored and stamped myself.

Flag Book with my stamps and The bandana technqiue



I made this book for a class project.

The base of the book is poster board that I got at the Hobby Lobby, I then used PLAIN white cardstock that I myself colored and tinted to look the way it does.

I then cut lots of little flags that I stamped myself.

I wanted to make something with a Valentine Day's theme so this is a sample.

Key Holder plaque


This is a very easy and fun project where I used Distress crackle paint, acrylic dabbers and the basic concept of the bandana technique.
