Guess What

I’m excited and thrilled to say that I AM A WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.

I fell so blessed and would like to thank all the powers that be (you know who you are)

Y’all remember the recent Artist Cellar Stencil Blog Hop about the Cecilia Swatton Kaleidoscope set. Yep that’s the one. My name was drawn by Cheryl Sleboda of muppin.com fame.

So thank you Cheryl and Artist Cellar and Cecilia.

^5 for a great set of stencils and neat projects from all the blogs that took part in the Hop

Now let’s see what I did with ‘em

you may watch my video here to see how I did it

I also took this Journal Page and turned it into a Christmas Card that video is coming up on Dec 12, 2014  titled Christmas Card'age (just saying)

Happy Art'ing Y'all

Would you believe

I won! I have been entering these Blog Hops for what seems like F O R E V E R and Lisa over at AtistCellar said I won, because I was one of the few that actually followed directions on entering (just saying people). I am so blessed. Thank you Thank you!!!

I was excited to get the news and to get them in my mailbox so as soon as I could – to the studio with me. I love my other stencils from ArtistCellar too, just saying. 

First I did a few pulls from the ol’ Gelli Arts printing plate (thanks again Jess) then I took one of the stencils from the Jane Girls Petite Series, Jane Davenport and a sheet of deli paper. I then did the pounce tech with a makeup sponge to stencil the lovely face on deli wrap paper using dark brown craft paint. L O V E how she came out. Actually I used all the stencils the same way, some on plain deli paper and some on Gelli printed deli paper. I really like how the deli paper handles with the Gelli and yet the edges practically disappears when applied on a background.

But what good are faces alone . . .

Enter my take on the envelope journal. I’m sure this will make a certain someone happy to receive.

By The Way ArtistCellar is having a new Blog Hop showing off the many ways / uses of Tamara Laporte – Tam’s Inspiration and Tam’s Whimsy stencils. But don't feel like you "have to enter" just because I say so. Besides maybe I'll be able to win again if y'all don't.

Happy Art’ing Y’all
