Wonder Dream Disk Journal

Continuing with the disk art journal made with tags I finally got to color this one. I think this might just be a favorite one in this journal! Still using images from Sandra Caldwell, BabyCakesDND. I used #2204 Wonder Dream image and colored with Copics. Then I cut it with the tag die. I didn't want to take anything away from the image by adding a sentiment, so I just placed it opposite an introductory page.

Thanks for the visit!

Upset Amy

I could hardly wait to color this one up, #2700 Upset Amy, by Sandra Caldwell of BabyCakesDND! Don't you just feel like this sometimes?

 The tag was colored with Distress Oxides then sprayed with a bit of sparkle. I added some BoBunny Glitter Paste through a stencil. Another chipboard quote and a few Nuvo drops finished off this page.

Thanks for visiting! I really appreciate any comments you find the time to leave for me.

Follow Your Heart Journal

Sandra Caldwell, BabyCakesDND, asked us to join her in an art journal journey using her images on ATC's on the pages. I recently got some new tag dies from Stamplorations and have been itching to turn them into a journal using the disk style of closure. So, I was ready to jump in!

First, is the cover using Gina K paper, Technique Tuesday's Bird Friends, a gel pen and some PrismaColor colored pencils.

For one of the inside pages, I cut the tag from a heavy cardstock and then used Distress Oxides to blend a background. I used a Tim Holtz Stamper Anonymous stencil with some Nuvo glimmer paste that I had mixed with some liquid Distress Ink. The image is For You Thanks #15, one of my favorites! I colored it with Copics and added a tiny ladybug brad for fun. The "bow" was created using Altenew's Bells and Bows. Chipboard words are from Tim Holtz. And, the purple thread is some of my handspun yarn waiting to be plied!

I will be adding more to this journal as I find journaling very freeing compared to cardmaking, so very enjoyable!

Poe Appreciation Day #5

I'm posting twice today for the Poe Appreciation Day blog hop over at Leigh SB Designs since it is the last day. What fun this has been seeing some, new to me, talented creators! I am using the Tangled Dark Raven image on a tag for this final post.

The black tag is from Graphic 45, the tiny heat embossed images are from Little Acres Creations Spooky, sentiments are by Tim Holtz, and the ribbon, charm, and Washi tape are from my stash. The background for the raven was done with Copic markers. Since "real" tangling is not done in color, I thought I'd see what the raven would look like left in the black and white. I do like it this way.

Thanks so much for your visit. So nice to meet you all, and I love reading your comments.
