ballet slippers

I redid the ballet slippers. Used hot pink and white to soften the color. I like it better a liter pink. And I like them hung by the ribbons, makes them look more like ballet slippers. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The background is the DCWV All Dressed Up paper.

FLORIDA

I'll be seeing these soon . I'm off to Florida with my sisters. We have a blast in Florida every year after Thanksgiving. I'll be back posting in Dec. Check back to see my inspirations from Florida.

ballet slippers

The slippers I painted and then cut out and added to the background paper. The paper is DCWV All Dressed Up. Fun paper with glitter already added. Added rhinestone brads to the slippers and the ribbon tie ups. I did the slippers in a hot pink, next time I want to try a softer pink color.

frog in a pocket

I got the laundry done, then it was off to play with my paints. Here's that cute frog in a pocket.

HOPPY BIRTHDAY

A cute little frog for a kid's card or someone who likes frogs. I outlined the frog and lily pad with black so it would hop off the page. On the background I sponged blue paint to give it a water effect. I just had an idea, poke the frog out of a pocket, check back . I have to get hopping and do the laundry.

In memory of my Mom

My Mom loved to plant flowers around the home where we grew up. The Iris was one of those flowers. I used Night sky and wicker white to paint the Iris. Also I put floating medium on the brush and side loaded into the night sky color and shaded around the Iris, to make it stand out more.

Girls just want to have fun

These shoes were such fun to embellish. The black shoe straps I used scribbles glitter paint . On the pink shoe I used ribbon for the straps, and the little buckle to attach the strap to the side of the shoe. On the black shoe is a rhinestone brad for the attachment of the strap. I painted the shoes and then cut them out and adhered to the card front. The background paper is painted with the glitter paint to give it that sparkle. Fun, fun, fun............

girly stripes and dots

With this card I used the pocket fold and made a purse out of it. Painting the stripes and dots, adding some rick-rack,buttons, and beads, there you have a purse.

Slip in a gift card and they're ready to go shop.

sports fans

I came up with some sports paintings. These also have the pocket to slip in a gift card.

So I covered basketball, football and baseball. For football it's the Chicago Bears, that's my son's team, GO BEARS! It was fun to design the cards for the different sports.
