REVIVED........TRYING TO GET MY CREATIVE MOJO BACK......

I have been on a long hiatus suffering from a bit of creative block.....so my friends convinced me to sign up for Creative Jumpstart 2017 through N* Studio......a creative video a day with a different artist.....all to get your creativity working overtime......even though we live miles and miles apart we decided to watch a video and video chat and create real time together......it was so much fun!! The pages were going to be put in my creative journal, but I liked them so much that I decide to frame them so I could hang them up.....the artist we watched was Rachel Greig,  you can check her out by clicking her name. I loved the collage method and process, and I got to use a lot of my art supplies that I have not played with in a long time! Hope you like my ocean inspired collage!!

I used a lot of different products....Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Ranger Archival Jet Black, Crafters Companion swirl tree die, a muse|studio papers and background stamps, Stampa Tampa shell stamp and Obsessive Impressions Seashell Collage stamp, tissue paper, watercolor paper, paperback book page bits.

NEW A MUSE STUDIO CHALLENGE UP!

This weeks challenge over on the A Muse|Studio Challenge blog is up! The challenge this week is to use dimension on your card....since I love using pop dots and foam to pop things up on my cards I chose them to add dimension to my card....I created this one for the challenge, using the new pebble card stock rom the holiday catalog. I love this color, it is so versatile, and I think it adds an elegant touch to the navy.

Here are the directions and the list of all the materials I used, all my materials are A Muse|Studio, and can be found in my online web store where you can order direct, or if you prefer, drop me an email and I can assist and order it for you.

I used the pebble card stock for the card base, and using the Nestabilities Labels One, I cut one large label out of Navy, and one smaller label out of pebble. I stamped the frame with navy ink on the smaller pebble label using the stamp positioned, and then stamped the thank you stamp inside the stamped frame with the stamp positioned. I put twinkle stickers 3 on one side, 2 on the other on the sides of the stamped frame. I used the Sakura Quickie glue pen on the top and bottom tear drops, and sprinkled with diamond glitter. Then I adhered the larger label to the card base using 3D mount foam, and then using the 3 D foam mount attached the stamped pebble label on top of the navy label. I tied a bow around the top of the card using satin navy ribbon. Easy and quick card that looks very elegant. Thanks for stopping by and visiting. Now hop on over to the challenge blog and post one of your own! You could win an awesome prize!!!
