Well, I finally finished the altered canvas collage I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. I feel like it's missing something, but I always feel like that so I probably won't add anything to it (except a sealant).

To make this, I tore some very cool 7Gypsies paper lengthwise and glued it all over the board until I was happy with it, then covered the white torn bits with black ink and some acrylic paint where I felt it needed it. I then painted the moon and used a paper towel to sponge off some of the paint. Then I put a glittery glaze over the moon for a bit of sparkle.

The owl and branch I painted last in black with shading the same color as the moon. I also edged the canvas with black paint. This is the first canvas that came out roughly the way I saw it in my head. I can't wait to make more of these.

Vintage Halloween Challenge Entry

This card was my entry for this months ATC Challenge on Craftster.org. It was done with alcohol inks for the background, rubber stamping that I then wet to age it, and a rub-ons for the fence and border on the top. I'm kept feeling like it needed something else, but I couldn't figure out what. I just left it as is.

This was my "alternate" choice. The kids are pretty creepy, but I didn't really like how busy they looked over the background.

Three Birds

These cards were really fun to make. I first stamped the bird image (Martha Stewart Crafts at Michael's) and then painted them with different colors of Twinkling H2O paints. I then stamped the bird again on a scrap piece of cardstock and used it as a mask so I could stamp the words over the top. Fun, easy, and addictive- plan to make similar cards like this with some other stamps I have. I'll let you know how it goes.
