Art Philosophy and Typeset = One Fine Day

I had fun making this layout because I got to play a little bit with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Exclusive to Close To My Heart. I cut out the Fancy Square focal point in the center of the layout using the green patterned paper and I cut it at 10 ¾ inches. Then with the numbered patterned paper I cut the same image only a little smaller at 9 inches to make it fit perfectly inside the first one. I also cut 3 stars at 1 ¾, one at 2 and the other one at 2 ¼ inches. But one of my favorite things I cut was the fancy square shape at 1 ¼ inches then I stamped perfectly inside with the UR Special image from the Typeset stamp set. How cool is that?

Another thing I did on this layout was to paint pearl paint on some of the milepost shapes and right on the base pages to add a little highlighting.

Amy's grad

Oh, my goodness, I had done these pages a while ago but somehow they got missed in my postings.  I really need a better system for my artwork.  Maybe this fall my computer will get an overhaul in organization...maybe...

Anyhow, I wanted to tell you how I did the frame around the Title and Amy's picture. I cut half inch strips of cardstock and  made a paper frame around the outside edge of the photo mat, placing it down with repositionable adhesive.  I took a sponge and dipped it in garden green ink, then swiped the sponge from the outside in towards where the photo will be placed.  I did all four sides.  Then I removed the frame and WALA I have a inked frame for my photo. 

Again, I also used my trusty how to books for the sketch for this layout.  

All supplies are Close To My heart unless otherwise noted.

Welcome to Maggie Monday!

Welcome to Maggie Monday! I am going to try and dedicate every Monday to the cute little stamps from Magnolia. I simply cannot resist these cute little girls and boys.
I colored one of the big white flowers with Pearl paint mixed with Vanilla Cream reinker. To do this I took a small dab of the pearl paint and placed it onto a pallet and added two or three drops of vanilla Cream reinker and mixed together with a stylus. I then took a regular paint brush and painted the top of the flower then set aside to dry. It looks so much better in person than in the picture. Nice and shimmery.
I also took some self adhesive pearls and colored them with my R22 Copic marker. I just love to do this as you can make anything match your artwork.
I colored the Tilda with copic markers and cut the image out using my new Close To My Heart Craft Knife.
I also decorated the inside of the card.

All supplies are Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.

My First Easel Card

Here is my first easel card. I had so much fun making it that I know there will be many more easel cards to come! I also used one of my new Maggies...Tilda on Bike #368. These images are just so much fun to color with my copics. I also used my copics to color the sparkles. This is so neat to do as you know they will match when you are done. I just colored over top of the sparkles, waited a few seconds for it to dry then gave one more coat. All supplies are Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.
