Funky Flowers

Back in April I took a couple classes with Wendy Vecchi, an AWESOME artist. She has her own line of stamps, Studio 490, and designs for Maya Road, Tim Holtz and is a Ranger certified educator! I love her work and since I took the classes, I have tried to practice what I learned. I'm no where near the creative goddess Wendy is, but I'm sure having fun exploring the techniques I learned from her.

My first projects that I did on my own and not at her class was to make 5 ATC's using the funky flower techniques I learned from Wendy. Of course, I did not yet own any Studio490 stamps and I had to use the scraps of grungeboard and grungepaper left over from her class, but I still did them! I also used Tim Holtz Fragments, which Wendy also taught us about. These ATC cards were made for a swap over at Scrapbook Dreamer.


Just tonight I made a birthday card for a DT Call over at Inspirational Card Sketches. I love the flowers I made but I'm still not sure about the card as a whole, but hey, it's all about the journey of learning right? :) Anyway, someone is getting a big fat birthday card in the mail sometime soon. LOL


I have more projects in mind! So I hope to be posting them soon.
Thanks for looking!

I did another ATC lastnight! This one is for a contest over on ScrapbookDreamer.com and the contest is a 7gypsies romantic ATC. The art on the card I used in my wedding. Here it is in it's entirety:


and here's a close up of the card:

ATCs

I hadn't planned to get into doing these but I might do a few, especially since I have an idea for a series of them. ;)

Here is my first ever artist trading card. It's named "Marrakech" and just happens to have been made with the new BG Marrakech 6x6 paper pad. I am so IN LOVE with the Marrakech line.

My idea for the card series is to do a card inspired by each country that I have learned belly dance moves from... for instance, Marrakech is in Morocco, and I learned some shikkhat moves and a Tuareg dance. I will be able to make cards inspired by Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India just to name a few. :)
