Another series of quote book pages.

Printed this quote on tissue paper - I love the wrinkles as it creates texture. The blue leaf is a die cut using my Cuttlebug. Attached with foam dots to give it dimension.

The above started out with a quote on a ATC card that I digitally designed.

The above is an oval "window" to show an image below it. (Will share in a separate post.) I hand stitched so this shows back which is not very neat looking.

I have been saving quotes over the years and decided to make my own scrapbook style quote book. The above was printed on vellum which reveals the leaf stamp below it. I scanned these in then digitally added the "Mask" design using Photoshop. I used one of Dover's stamps to create the mask. CLICK ON IMAGES SO YOU CAN READ THE QUOTES.

Crazy quilt heart with fringed edging.

I was teaching myself how to do two things here: Crazy quilt patchwork and embroidery stitches. My signature stitch is the "dragon/butterfly". It is always a challenge how to finish these edges hence the fringed edging. This will be a gift for some young gal. CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE DETAILS.

Be yourself .. an original is always more valuable than a copy quote page.

I have been having fun adding quotes to my garden pictures and using textures. Credit for the texture on this to Kim Klassen. This has been prepared to print out for my quote book at 7x7 inches square at 200 ppi. It will show on your download as 72 ppi. But what you can do is create a 7x7 document in 200 ppi and place this photo in it then it will print at the higher resolution. This confused me but upon research I learned that Photoshop shows at 72 ppi by default unless otherwise specified even though it is a larger resolution. I placed this picture in a 8x10 inch document at 300 ppi and took it to a photo kiosk and it printed just fine. Please let me know if this is incorrect.

Martini glass given a new life!

I made many of these and tried to make them all different. Used vintage papers from a very old music magazine. The papers are adhered with Golden's Medium on the outside. I ran a gold pen around the top rim to finish it off. Painted the bottom with black acrylic paint then gave it a coat of clear floor wax. I was inspired by Anna Corba.
I made the mask for displaying these two pictures using B K Swirl brushes.

I have been having fun adding quotes to my mixed media and collage garden pictures. I layered the rose cutout between layers and stitched it at random.

Pansies - Thoughts of Thee

I love these colors and pansies are one of my favorite flowers because of the details. The background image is from a neighboring tree that I am having a lot of digital fun with.
