Arches

Alison is hosting the Arches swap on the Lotstodo forum this month - the theme was "Open"

I used gesso and acrylics to add colour to my background - I then did a bit of stencil doodling. The little girl images are from Lisa's Altered Art and the lady cut from a magazine. I added some bits to the lady - outlined her and then stamped my wording, cut it out, added it and outlined it. The little girls were grounded on to scrap pieces that I had cut, they were outlined and then the words were added and outlined. I finished all 3 arches by inking the edges.

Steam Punk post cards

These are my pieces for a swap being hosted on the Lotstodo Forum by Angie. I gesso'd my card stock first to give it a bit of tooth. I then used Distress Inks to add colour - I stamped lots of background stamps on to it and then added my images, wording and embellishments

Canvas

Coated canvas with gesso as a base then used Liquitex Inks to give some colour. Used a mask near the top. I stamped various images on to tissue, cut them out and then added them with modpodge. Did some stamping around the sides to finish it off

Beeswax

Added some colour to canvas with Adirondack Color Wash then added a dress pattern with beeswax - added image which I had grounded with a piece of underpaper- coloured and outlined the image - all the while I ket heating the beeswax so the pieces would stick - did the same with the butterflies adding wax and keeping it moving with my heatgun. Added some colour to a piece of notepad waste with sprays and adhered again with beeswax. Colored a grunge paper hinge with distress inks - added clear embossing powder and used my hammer to add texture. Printed some wording on PC and added these using the same method

Creative Colour - last piece

This is the last piece for the Creative Colour Workshop by Christy Tomlinson that I've been enjoying on line

I Covered my canvas with gesso then added a page from an old book. I covered this with a coat of cream acrylic I added liquitex ink in green and moved around with finger. I then added some deep violet ink and let it drip. I splashed some gesso on by flicking paintbrush.

I stamped, cut out and coloured car (pan pastels). Then cut out image (Lisa's altered art) and attached to canvas after grounding on scrap paper. I outlined the images with Black Unipen, printed and cut out wording, attached and outlined

The colour inspiration for this piece was Cream, Green, Burgandy and a touch of white. I feel I have achieved this

Creative Colour example 3

Love the way the hearts turned out on this one - just used crumpled tissue and modpodged them on to cardstock which I had cut heart shaped. The background was done with gesso, pieces of an old book, cream acrylic and some stamping to add texture - if you click on the pic it will enlarge so that you can have a better look at the texture

Creative Colour 2

I did this canvas as part of the Creative Colour on line course that I'm busy enjoying. I certainly wouldn't have used as many colours together without the prompt - but - I love the way it turned out

Creative Colour

This is my first piece for the online workshop that I'm busy doing called "Creative Colour" being run by Christy Tomlinson. I'm having so much fun searching magazines, going round the shops with my camera and just hunting out colour combinations that I can use in my art.
