it's monday once again AND a give away!

i am always amazed at how fast mondays seem to get here.  today, for stampotique, i created a postcard.  i used quite a few of my rubber stamps to create this.

first i used acrylic paints to paint on a piece of cardstock.  i used a portion of my steampunk border to stamp the top border and then colored it in with markers.  i cut a circle from scrap paper for the moon and placed it underneath the border.  i stamped my newly released caged bird over the moon and colored it in with watercolors and markers.  i stamped my just be you to the left side and colored it in with markers,  i also stamped the bird from that same stamp on to scrap paper, watercolored it, and cut it out to use as the third bird.  then i stamped the heart vine and used markers and gel pens to color it in.  i also made stems to connect the just be you stamp into the vine.  to finish it off i machine stitched around the postcard.

if you would like a chance to win this postcard please leave a comment. i will select someone at random to mail it to.  please make sure i have a way of contacting you should you be the luck winner.  i will draw a name on june 1st.  good luck!

documented life project

full page view
close up of detail on page
the documented life project for week 21's prompt was to add embroidery, embroidery floss or thread to your page.  i used my sewing machine and some thick cotton twine to meet the prompt for this week.  i used scraps of deli paper to create circles, and cut a fabric tag that i sprayed with dylusion spray to create a burst of color.  i then added another piece of scrap deli paper to two of the circles for a third layer.  i sewed them together on the sewing machine.  i added a tag that i folded in half on the edge of my , stitched it in place and added a chipboard "r" i painted.  the small popsicle stick was painted, stamped and secured with a thick twine.
