Vintage Botanicals Collage

Hello friends.  Beth Norman here.  I hope my fellow Canadians had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I had a fun weekend which started out with attending an authentic Octoberfest night on Saturday night then went to a friends house for Thanksgiving with her large family.  I had to work on Thanksgiving Monday, but that was okay because I just finished a week's vacation and was rested and ready to get back into routine.

Adult colouring books are all the rage, but who needs them when you can colour up beautiful Technique Junkies stamps like this one?  I used Vintage Botanicals Collage from the Palettini Collection.  I coloured this image with my Prismacolor pencil crayons and OMS while sitting in front of the TV watching my taped TV shows.

Let's see some of your colouring skills.

Butterfly Canvas

{jane bosi}  Happy Thursday, Junkies!!  Today, I am sharing a canvas I created using some goodies from Technique Junkies!

I had purchased a package of these sweet little 4 x 4 canvases a while ago.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, until I realized that they are perfectly sized for use with the beautiful Palettini background images!  I've chosen the Vintage Botanicals Collage for mine, but am a little obsessed with making a set and also using Vintage Bicycle Collage, Vintage Balloons Collage and Vintage Daisy Collage or Vintage Ship Collage!  Wouldn't that be a sweet wall collection?

I always use a combination of acrylic paint and gellatos to add color and shading on my canvas work.  For this one, I've also added a dusting of glitter glue to several areas.  The butterfly is colored and glittered on the first layer. I also added a vellum butterfly over the top to simulate the fluttery beauty of these amazing creatures!

Enjoy and have an inky day!  Don't forget to be awesome!
TTFN, Jane

Happy Thursday Junkies!!  Today, I have a springy card to share with you!  It actually fits the weather we have been having for a change!  It's all fluttery and bright!

I adore this Palettini background image, called Vintage Botanicals Collage!  It's so delicate and frilly!
It was the perfect image to combine with the Stained Resist technique from the Artistic Effects CD.  You can learn more about this CD and all that it contains, HERE .

To finish off my project, I didn't want to cover up any of the technique piece so, I went with a simple sentiment from Technique Junkies and a sheer ribbon.

I hope you are inspired to get a little inky today!
TTFN, Jane
