Whimsical

I just finished this mixed media piece using Gelatos. I also stamped on the Gelatos and finished with Watercolor markers. This was my first attempt using Gelatos and I found them very easy to work with. A little bit goes a long way.

Tomorrow is Halloween and I wanted to share some tags that I made as well as a slider cards and a Trick or Treat bags.

Fancy Party Dress for an Angel

This is a little dress I smocked for a special occasion. The collar is cotton organdy and the sleeves have organdy inserts done with shadow work embroidery to match the smocking..

Smocking for a Little Boy

Here are some pictures of two outfits I smocked for a little boy. The romper set  and overalls are all in a water theme. i think this would make daddy proud.

Engraved Etching

here is an engraved etching that we were challenged to make into a mixed media piece. The background is a blend of gelatos inks. I enhanced the image with water color inks . I used distress inks on the doilies and paper. I added a shabby chic flower that I made as well as a feather butterfly that I also made. These are fun to do. If anyone has tried to do this, I would love to know more about your experience. 

Cards for this week.
