School Time

Well Hello everyone!!! This has been a very busy week for me. I managed to complete a creation and this one is for the following challenges:

• Michell Perkett Studio Challenge ... Theme is "Back To School" and a "Blog Hop"
• Simons Says Challenge ... Theme is "Paper Piecing"
• S2G Papercrafting Challenge ... Theme is "Back To School".

I decided to make my own template again and this time I made a template for a Backpack. I have to come up with a tutorial soon and I will be posting it here and on my CDAC group. I chose a denim paper that I just purchased and a deep red cardstock. My image is from Michelle Perkett called Mary Margaret. Isn't she cute! I used a white correction pen to create my stitches on the denim paper and a black pen for the stitches on my closure tabs. I colored mary Margaret using Adobe Photoshop and added some school embellishments like my ABC's, pencil, apple and a sentiment. I layered or pieced her apple and bow to give it that raised effect. My backpack opens and has a velcro dot to keep it closed. I haven't finished the inside but I will wait until I need a card for someone special. I think I will send it to my youngest granddaughter who is 4 1/2 years old and is in preschool.

Spread Your Wings And Fly...

Hello everyone... I have a new creation and this one is for the following challenges:

• Gingersnap Creations Spicy Supply Challenge ... Theme is "Paint".
• Gingersnap Creations Random Redhead Challenge ... Theme is "Go 3D".
• Sentimental Sundays Challenge ... Theme is "Words to Inspire".

I got very creative with this one. First I took a piece of canvas and used acrylic paints for the background. To create my Vintage images I used brushes that I downloaded here to use in Photoshop. I printed the images out and cut them to give my painting a layered look. I created my sentiment that way also. I made a picture frame using foam board and Photoshop. Again I used some decorative brushes to create my scroll corners. To complete my creation I used wide matching color organza ribbon to hang my painting on the wall.
