Following Tim Holtz’s 12 Tags of Christmas instructions and Linda’s inspiration on making 12 Tags of Valentine’s Day, I made my own version of Valentine’s Day tags but only made it to number 7.
Here they are:
Maybe next time I’ll make it to number 12!
I finally found my secret admirer! It was Sheryl Parsons from Mother’s Dream Artworks!
Those beautiful note cards I received are original artwork from Sheryl that she entitled “Roadside Roses”! How awesome!
I can’t thank her enough for being such a sweet Valentine!
Thank you again Christine for being a wonderful swap hostess!
Don’t you just love surprises?!
How about getting something in the mail from a Secret Admirer?!? I joined Christine’s swap for Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait to show you what I received but first I have to show my sneak peaks of what I sent so maybe MY secret admirer can figure out who sent her goodies…
I sure hope she’s a good detective!! I didn’t give too much away here…
And here’s my valentine from my Secret Admirer…
Isn’t it just TOO SWEET!! I can’t wait to find out who made this lovely Valentine just for ME!! And she sent some little goodies too!
Thank You Secret Admirer! I can’t wait to find out who you are!
And thanks again to Christine for hosting this lovely swap!!
I received a little sumptin’ sumptin’ in the mail this week from my BFF.
An altered box with a stunning clasp tucked inside…
Isn’t this gorgeous??!! A micro-beaded pillow postcard!
How I love celebrating Fat Tuesday!
Thank you for thinking of me!!
My creative challenge for January 2010, hosted by the talented Leah, was the word body.
I used an old book cover as my canvas. I inked the board with Distress Ink in Aged Mahogany and Tattered Rose and sponge painted with gold and silver metallic paints. I cut the women walking figure from a transparency to make a stencil and secured it to the book canvas. With metallic gold, I sponge painted inside the stencil. After the paint was thoroughly dry, I inked several stamps with Staz-On black ink and stamped randomly with the stencil still in place. I then removed the stencil and stamped the butterfly in her hand with Staz-On red ink. I tied the black ribbon around the canvas securing with a few dabs of glue and glued a picture hanger to the back.
The project was inspired by the book, Creative Paper Dollmaking by Rhonda Rainey.
