Vintage Wedding Card

Love Is In The Air

Sharing a wedding card today that I made for my friend's daughter...The bride loves vintage and her gown was very Downton Abbey, so I thought this photo was perfect...I used pretty papers, lace, flowers and pearls to create a soft romantic look and using colored pencils, I highlighted the bride's face and veil in soft pinks...I hope you like it...

I am working on some more cards and hope to have them done soon...As always, I thank you for visiting my blog...Please check back often...Kathy

Black Magic Tag

Black Magic Tag

Back

Hello Everyone...I'm back and sharing a tag I just made for a swap in my art group...I really had fun with this...You stamp an image on black paper with white ink, then color it in with colored pencils or markers..I used colored pencils..Little white dots were added with a white gel pen, for detail and I think they really make the image pretty and so feminine...

I'm back in a creative mood again and hope to post more art very soon...I hope you are all well...Thanks so much for keeping up with my poor neglected blog and for stopping by today......Kathy

Witch's Shoe Cards

Have A Haunting Halloween!!!

BOO!!!

Here are a couple of witch's shoe cards I made for Halloween...I drew two slightly different styles of shoes/boots on black folded card stock..I then cut them out and drew each flower, on the front of the card and on the back, with colored pencils..Took awhile too..I added the little ghosts and orange ribbon laces and used silver and gold mettalllic pens to outline and highlight...Unfortunately, the camera didn't pick up the sparkle that gave each shoe...

I love Halloween and this was a fun, new design to play with...I used black envelopes and stamped spooky images in white and wrote the addresses in white, as well...Happy Halloween to all and thanks for visiting my blog...Kathy...

High Heel Shoe Cards...

For awhile now I have been wanting to make a cut out card of a high heel shoe...So, I folded a piece of paper, drew the shoe in pencil and then cut the shape out...I added the pretty papers, embellished with flowers and jewels for a bit of bling...These are birthday cards but maybe a witch's shoe would be fun to do for Halloween...

It feels like autumn here tonight and I love it!  Thank you for visiting my blog today..Please come again soon......Kathy

Handpainted Wooden Flower

...Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature...

Hello Everyone!!!! 

I've neglected my blog lately but I'm back today with another handpainted piece...I painted this wooden flower in a bright red for my friend, Patty...I added the little stick on ladybugs for a little whimsy...Patty has it in her kitchen window and is quite tickled with it...I've been enjoying painting on wood with my acrylics but it's back to papercrafing again and I will have more art to post soon.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer...As for me, I can't wait for autumn!!!....Thank you for stopping by today....Kathy

Handpainted Wooden Bird

Flora Belle

On a recent trip to Michael's, my friend and I came across an aisle full of wonderful springtime, wooden objects...I ended up buying wooden pinwheels, heart shaped wooden stakes with slate on the front, a birdhouse, a flower and this cute little bird...I painted Flora Belle for a 'just because' gift for my sister...I used acrylic paints and gave her a coat of matte finish...

This was a fun project to do... I do wish I had got myself a bird, too, so I will have to go back and get one or two, or three more...They're just so darn cute...Thanks for stopping by today...I love when you drop by for a visit...Kathy
