Okay, it's been WAY too long since I've joined in on the fun over at Studio Friday but this week, I am playin'! I'm kinda caught up with some immediate projects AND I'm on break from school!
This week's topic was suggested by Lee: PROUD ARTIST OF...!
Lee said, "How about you show a piece of art, or something that you have made in your studio, that really nobody has seen and you are proud of. "
The timing of this prompt is cool because I JUST finished my December assignment for the Just Johanna Design Team and I am totally lovin' one of my cards.
About six months ago, I found a box chock full of art postcards at Goodwill. Yes, I hit pay dirt.
I was playin' around with one of the postcards, just seeing where I could take it and came up with this.
I used lots of Making Memories acrylic paints and those Adirondack color washes. LOVE those! The little stars, scrolls and paisley border are Just Johanna stamps.
After all the stamping, painting, glueing, sanding, singing, dancing, and general mess-making, I mounted it to cardstock to turn it into a card. I'm really really happy with how this turned out and am going to travel down this path a lot more often!!!
Take care and Happy New Year!
I love it, wow were you ever lucky finding those postcards, I always searching for unusual stuff there.
