<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love making backgrounds! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sometimes I spend whole art days doing just that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My latest play at that was using watercolors, lots of water, and salt for some really fun effects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is the paper I was using:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So fun because you never know for sure what the end results will be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just be sure to get your watercolors really wet and saturated with color. Apply to your paper anyway you want - designs, color patters, etc.Then generously sprinke with salt with spots or lines of heavier applications for varying designs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The hardest part is you HAVE TO LET IT DRY COMPLETELY before you can scrape the salt off. I let mine sit to dry overnight. I use an old credit card or bone folder to scrape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And then you get the delightful surprise of seeing what you got!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pretty cool, huh?</span></div>

Sooooo - I chose a page with green acrylic paint wiped off on it and drew a few pears.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlCFM_Fj0fvDi_o8KIdqCEgMA47Zgu9OUT_hQE7wAu3ukZ1QWoOnTmbpK5TwME_IBNwVBvyL5JEkYHeJVXWDPds2soKoq6rRW7WWpfP2npCS50R2_JiTxsxOtwNG9am7JccBoOiRs29NRY/s1600/pearzentangle1+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlCFM_Fj0fvDi_o8KIdqCEgMA47Zgu9OUT_hQE7wAu3ukZ1QWoOnTmbpK5TwME_IBNwVBvyL5JEkYHeJVXWDPds2soKoq6rRW7WWpfP2npCS50R2_JiTxsxOtwNG9am7JccBoOiRs29NRY/s400/pearzentangle1+001.jpg" width="323" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I tangled inside the pears. I was going to tangle a border but thought it might be too heavy and distract from the pears. Then I remembered my latest and one of my favorite washi tapes of pears. Perfect! So I used that and a couple other green washi tapes to make a border.<br />
Here's the finished journal page:<br />

I've been busy making little Hershey Kisses Trees for my mom to give out to the staff taking such good care of her at the rehab facility (Timberview) she's currently staying at.<br />
Thought I'd share a photo of a forest of them with you!<br />
<br />
I learned how to make them from a blog my friend, Diane, shared with me Qbee's Quest. You can find the tutorial <span style="color: red;"><b><a href="http://qbeesquest.blogspot.com/2012/11/scored-hersheys-christmas-tree-tutorial.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></span>. They are alot of fun to make!<br />
I used Wahi Tape on mine instead of ribbon (I'm terrible at tying bows!). <br />

My current art supply obsession is Washi Tape. As you can see above I have a pretty good selection. My favorite place to shop is Etsy - the shop is The Washi Shop. You can see the selection they have<span style="color: blue;"><b> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWashiShop" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></span>.<br />
<br />
Here's a few tags I've made recently using Washi Tape and Cuttlebug leaf dies.<br />
<br />
Front and back. <br />

I tell you, this Washi Tape is fun stuff! And the colors and patterns are seemingly endless! Be careful if you start looking - once you start buying you might not be able to stop!<br />
Enjoy! <br />

I'll decorate the cover farther along in the process when inspiration for the cover strikes me. I've been gluing pages together (I use a good glue stick and put glue on both pages before pressing together) and gessoing pages in preperation for creating. I've also put a few pockets in the book usung washi tape.<br />

The last image I have to share with you today is a journal page I did using one of my favorite owl quotes. The background was done with watercolor pencils. The owl image is cut out from a catalog (I believe it was Pottery Barn). The letters were printed out on white cardstock, cut out and edged with ink. All were glued in place with a glue stick. Last step was to cover with Golden Matte Medium. In between the phrases looked like too much space, so I found a brown pen and added some scribbles.<br />

You see the box it all came it along with the beautiful card above. Just look at that box full of <b style="color: blue;">stuff!</b><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hardly know where to begin! There were a bunch of packages wrapped up in bubble wrap, then in pretty tissue paper. And adorned with "Timmy Tattered Ribbon Strips" with messages written on them. So cool!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even the card was wrapped up and had a message that said to open it first.</div>

Then I found the beautiful postcard you see above. Even the back is beautiful. I love handmade postcards!<br />
<br />
THEN I found this little owl! Owls are one of my very favorite things! This is a vintage toothpick holder made into a pin cushion!!! How freakin' cool is that!!! As if that wasn't enough THEN it is stuffed with handmade head or hat pins. The most beautiful beads including some really nice leaf beads - leaves being another of my favorites. I just<b><span style="color: red;"> LOVE</span></b> this! I'll cherish it forever!<br />

Next I found this lovely book. "The White Album". So elegant! And it is stuffed with pages - atleast 50! And they are all embosed! Some have foldover flaps. Kinda hard to photo white on white but check out the clocks on the second page shown here. Love them!<br />

Next I found this little stamp of my initial. It's a stamp for sealing envelopes with wax. But they also work great with embossing powders and colored hot glue. And I really like the fleur de lis handle. So pretty!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next was this altered mint container. Such detailed adornment - hard to do it justice with a camera. Especially in the Pacific Northwest/Oregon in March when we are having rainy, gray days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm a sucker for small containers so was thrilled to get this. But - just wait 'til you see what was inside<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This amazing necklace was inside! First it's silver which is my fave, Has the most beautiful dark blue beads, and a big key and the pendant is two sided and has a vintage postage stamp on each side. This is soooooo cool!<br />
(wonder how many times I'll say cool in this post - everything is cooler than the last!)<br />
I have the necklace on with my beat up old painting sweatshirt! Doesn't really do it justice - the necklace, not the sweatshirt!<br />

Next is this envelope made from really cool vintage postage designed paper. Love those brads on the closure! The envelope was stuffed with really fun ephemera. I've been making machine stitched collages and this stuff will be so perfect for more of that! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And there's still more! Wow! A beautiful little bottle! And get this - my SS typed poetry words with her vintage typewriter, then must have cut into strips and put them in the bottle. When I open the bottle I can pull out words (like I'll ever get to the point I could quit treasuring this and use any of the words...).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And still MORE! Look at these beautiful flowers made out of vintage lace and fabric. My ss mentioned I could alter them with spray inks. They are so cool!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j2vQ6Eax1Us/T2J_Cc1DX_I/AAAAAAAAGQ0/0DM_NnU0EBs/s1600/DSCN0397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j2vQ6Eax1Us/T2J_Cc1DX_I/AAAAAAAAGQ0/0DM_NnU0EBs/s320/DSCN0397.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
And here's a closeup of part of that card from the first picture. The flowers in the lower left corner have a really nice little bird charm in among the flowers - so cool! I love that palm tree too. So nice!<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Greetings Sabrina!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I'm in Ottawa this week meeting with government officials.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Politics is bollocks!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Perhaps next time I'm in North America we can arrange to meet? Or when you are next in UK?</div>

Check out what everyone else came up with for a Canada postcard by checking out Darcy's blog <a href="http://art-and-sole.blogspot.com/2012/03/postcard-challenge-2012_09.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">HERE</span></a>.Kimberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526082108426646844noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386767682355243350.post-66157920343451617242012-03-08T19:14:00.000-08:002012-03-08T19:17:16.197-08:00It's Beginning to Look Alot Like EASTER!!!Every where I look when I go to a store lately there is Easter stuff all over the place! <br />
First I have to see if they have those Cadbury Eggs I LOVE so much and how much they are. Then I have to resist from buying any cuz I probably just had one yesterday (in fact, I did! my first of this Easter season!). Then I got to look for spiced jelly beans. Always good to have those on hand!<br />
Oh wait, Easter isn't ALL about the candy, is it? <br />
Although those malted milk eggs are pretty darn good - we used to use those as lipstick when I was in grade school, way back when.<br />
Anyway, all those spring colors and cute Easter decorations they have near where the candy is got me inspired to make some Easter cards. They are all the simplest of cards. Just some blank cards, a few dollar stamps from Michaels, circle paper punches, and some colored and decorated papers. As well as some glue.<br />
Here they are: <br />

For the cards above I drew the bunny shapes on cardstock and cut them out to use as a template to trace on to decorated paper.</div>

I just love the stitching on the cards. It looks cool and adds really cool texture. Just love it!<br />
So, some of these I have mailed out, some I have kept for my bulletin board, some I'm sending to Dede to give away on her UStream shows (you can find her <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/inkwell" target="_blank">HERE</a>, she streams early morn Wed and Thurs), and some of them are listed for sale on Etsy. You can find my Etsy by clicking <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kimberiginal" target="_blank">HERE.</a></b><br />
<br />
Thanks for taking a look!<br />

Have a creative weekend everyone! <b><br /></b><br />Kimberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526082108426646844noreply@blogger.com4
