My Deco book - Art Wired

I just finished creating my art deco book for a round robin I'm in. I made this little beauty myself and covered it with tyvek, acrylic paints letter stickers and a photo of a barbed wire fence. I just had to add my birdie sitting on the barbed wire. I have 20 pages bound into the book with a green ribbon. It's shipping out today - ready for my artist friends to create in. I can't wait to get to work on theirs and see what's going on in mine! I'll keep you all posted. Woohoo!! What fun this will be.

Credit card background creation

This credit card background was created using acrylic paints. I used gold, venetian gold, leaf green and true orange. I over stamped using A muse Artstamp - Floral Vines with colorbox chalk inpad in burnt sienna. The gold paint doesn't show clearly in the photo but it gives it a great look. Messy and fun! I signed up for a backgrounds swap and will use them for that.

little beauties - leaves

I recieved some awesome little beauties from Chrissy and just had to sign up for more. This little beauties theme is leaves. So I called today a "play day" and gathered up my stash to create my 10 little beauties . Play days are so much fun!!!

I even managed to create 2 birthday cards for my grandsons. Both have March birthday's, turning 1 and 2 years old. Now my grandsons ages will be 1, 2, 3 and 4 years old! Last month I bought them tee shirts with Dr Suesss' Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3 and Thing 4 on the front. I slipped them on each little guy at a local indoor play area! Soooo funny to see. My daughters got a kick out of it and so did many of the other parents. My oldest grandson wanted his mom to call him Thing 1. hee hee. I'm such a little trouble maker!

Anyway, back on topic because I could go on and on about the little guys!
I tried to use different techniques, things I haven't done in a while. Keeping them similar but different. Here are my little beauties ... maybe I'll make some more!

"Birds, Nests & Eggs" Inchies

I just signed up for another swap. This one is for "Birds, Nests & Eggs" Inchies. With a name like little birdie studio how could I resist? The requirements for this swap is to use ARTchix studio products, and work must contain a bird, nest, eggs and a word. Not so easy on such a tiny 1" square. I had to rescan three pieces because
OOPS!
I fogot to add the word. So here's my two scans. Thanks for stoping in.

Feb 3 - ATC triptych

Like many of you I like to create most of my art before signing up for a swap. This one is for the ATC triptych swap on CCS.
Process:
*I designed and cut the triptych usng my digital die cutter using glossy cardstock. Next I painted the front with pink acrylic paint diluted with a pinch of water. Before it dried I sprinkled with alchohol and heat set. I also did the heart from the center.
*Now I stamped the two outside pages with a rosey heart pattern in black.
*I cut a matching tripstych in patterned paper and glued to the inside of the main tripstych.
*Embelished with two cute photos, gel pens, hearts and ribbon.
And here she is.
Thanks for stopping in.
