Valentine's Cards

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a nice February. Here is a fun project I did for Valentine's Day. I saw a pouring paint video on You Tube and wanted to try.
 
I got three cups and filled with paint. Then, I thinned down with a little water and paint medium. I poured a little of each color and let them move around and make friends. LOL!
 
After I did a couple of pages. I decided to cut them into hearts for some Valentine's cards the night before Valentine's Day!!! Hey, when inspiration hits ya, you gotta go. :)
 
Here are some pictures showing my process. Enjoy!
 
 

Used a stencil on top to add more interest.


Added metallic gold to the edges and wrinkles for a little sparkle.


Thanks for stopping by, Have a good day.

    I am amazed at the beautiful looks you get with a pour.
    So how did you do the stencil? Is it white paint over the background, or did you remove color. Can you tell I'm not very artistic. Gorgeous cards. Mine is sitting in front of my computer on the window sill. I see it any time I'm on my computer. Beautiful artwork.

    Wow. They are gorgeous. I have never tried pouring on paper, but now I really want to try it.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Live Forward

Happy October to all! I am getting ready for the holidays already and hope to have some Christmas cards to share soon. While I am in card mode and am still enjoying creating faces and painting. Here is one of the last ones I did called, "Live Forward." Just a reminded to keeping looking ahead in life. Driving like life is supposed to be done by looking through the windshield not the rear view window. (Oh, that is a good one. LOL!) Also, I loved using strips of patterned paper in the background. Then painted over them with layers of colors and then added stamps and that face. Isn't she pretty? I am so proud I am learning to draw profiles. They have been hard to do but I am starting to get it. Take a look! Thanks for looking and hope you have a terrific day!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
