Last Chance

Here it is Friday already. Tomorrow is the drawing on the Row House!
Many have stated their choice, and many are correct...many are wrong, but consistent!
Here are the 2 newest houses for the drawing and door prizes. Something a little bit different. Love the gal with the shades....
I used "Collections" houses, vintage photo and stamps. Tim Holtz doo dads and Distress Inks. The little face is from Artgirlz stamps. Cool girl! I had shades like that in the '70's and freckles, too. Keep guessing.

More Grungeboard

Not feeling so well today....maybe a touch of the flu...trying to stay away from DH. That's the last thing he needs!

So, playing a bit with the Grungeboard. One stamp from Stampers Anonymous for the background. I used Brilliance inks on the pieces and embossed with Distress Powders. Still needed more color, so I dug out the Lumiere paints and added some Russet here and there. The star is from Maya Road.

Back of a snap at the top, a charm, and rusty wire completes the look. A bit over the top for me, but it was fun.

Grungeboard and Canvas

Trying out some Grungeboard and a 6x6 canvas board. Painted the letters with Adirondack Acrylics Pesto, stamped, layered on Titan Buff Golden Acrylic paint,then dulled down with Black Soot Distress Ink.

The background paper is from The Paper Element Coffee: Cream & Sugar. I HAD to use Distress ink on the paper, of course, but the papers are beautiful! Added a few stamps and my pen work to the edges. Done!

Background stamp on letters is by Great Impressions, vine and scroll are by Printworks. Numbers are unknown. The small print background stamp is Paper Artsy.
