Shoe box

My group did a shoe box day  and this is  my submission 

Each one filled a shoe box with a make and take for each who attended  The boxes are passed around  like musical chairs and you make each card  Coming home with 12/14 cards  We do this twice a year 

Bob Ross

Yesterday I was invited to a  BOB ROSS  party 

Had a blast 

We were supplied with everything plus food 

We watched and tried to keep up with a video 

Lots of "What did he say "  What is he doing"  I missed something"

 bursts of laughter when he said " this is so easy'  and tons of rewinding 

There were lots of "happy little accidents" 

I didn't find he was teaching , more showing what he was doing and much too fast 

Also he works in oil we used arcylic 

 It was so fun

Here is my finished canvas

 and I am glad to show it on screen looks much better than real life .

Here is the thank You card I am sending the hostess 

INSECT

I am very glad Florida ants are not this big 

But I think this is the perfect card to give to the entomologolist

when he/she comes to lecture 

Seasons Greeting

I don't like posting Christmas this early 

This was part of our homework for the group 

The background is crumpled tissue  with EP over the high points  

Fun to do and there wwill be more in furture 

Coffee

The word card theme was coffee 

I did a couple with coffee mug

 but then remembered this stamp in the back of the drawer 

WILDLIFE

The challenge for this swap was WILDLIFE 

I just adore this stamp with the racoon in trash can 

I rumpled the card stock and hit the high folds with ink 

It turned out nice

Still need practice for control of the airbrush  

Also did  some stamping 

I

OUCH

I have a stamping buddy who is in a leg cast 

I made this get well for her 

BUT 

The stamp was made especially for me when I broke my leg 

It is very special to me as is the girl that made it happen 

FUN DAY

Had a little get together with a neighbor and we did finger painting 

We watched a couple of videos and just went at it 

There are some you are not seeing

 and these are 8.5 x 11 so not useful for cards 

Will try to do A2  size when I have confindence 

SWAN

This is a free B stamp from a magazine 

I choose a designer paper blue background  die cut the center circle  

Stamped lilies and swan cut out the swan and popped it on

Added the sentiment 

Hope you like it 

LCC Twine

Cute set with 50% coupon at M 

Brusho the background and colored with copic

PAN PASTEL

Borrowed some Pan Pastel today

 Both of these are on water color paper

One is Pan the other chalk

I chose as close to the same color as possible I find the Pan blends easy but is of less strength in the hue

I see such little difference in the coloring and blending 

 but Pan takes up more storage space

However watching videos there are things you can do with Pan that you maybe can't with chalk

Both are fun

Both doggie and I are doomed to die any minute 

For 25 years I have been blowing the caulk dust off my cardstock 

Now I see in the video that is very dangerous to your health and especially to dogs 

There is a special little vacuum I should buy and be using 

Here are the examples of the two medium Pam Pastel on left  Chalk on right 

These are the two products  I used  Pan Pastel on top

Chalk below
I use  the alligator clip with tiny cotton balls for both

Pan visa Chalk This time I used make up sponges and the cloud maker . The pan is definitely creamy and does not scrub off the tool I do see a difference in strength of color but unless they are side by would never know . If I didn't do them myself I couldn't tell which was which Can you?

One more and I won't bug you again unless I come up with something  marvelous 

This one is Pan Pastel and the purpose was to see how well you could stamp on ikt 

It looks great but wouldn't happen without the MISTI  it took three layers before it started to look good

Gift

I was gifted this die in a package but don't have the matching stamp 

My first  instinct was to use it as a stencil 

I used a sponge and distress ink 

and that worked quite well don't you think ?

Dream

No coloring here

Stamped with Distress
