I love the way the cards turned out this year it takes me a day and a half to make an average card with this much detail .but I love the reactions I get from people who receive them makes it worth my while.
This is a different horse I made, couldn’t find a photo of the all purple background that I made For Michelle for her birthday, she loved it anyways.. This is the third one I made each is always a bit different as I can never find the same books to repeat images.some of the reigns are made of velvet papers, black… really eye catching. buckles are from photos of lady’s purses. Its really fun love this… THANKS to all my friends for giving me their magazines to use in my art……
Torn papers and some I had to Cut really thin lines, used card stock , Mulberry papers, scrap book papers Velvet papers from Cricut. And some tissue papers for back grounds. White paper is eye glass cleaner paper cut in squares to make apples shine……
She only took me 2 days , it’s hard to believe I must be getting better at this craft ,or I am skipping details. anyways I love her, ………………so shes done… I love tearing the paper’s and seeing things appear , at first they look kind of undone and not right . But the good thing about this art is if you don’t like the results you can always tear up more paper and cover up the mistakes….. oh wait there are no mistakes only happy findings………
Mr.Owl this took so long to make some of the pieces of paper were so small that I couldn’t tear them that tiny, So I used the scissors kind of a cheat but hey its mix media art anything goes right…..
I think Someones a begging!! those EYES. okay here ya go boy!!! LOL
I love doing these they relax me tearing papers and gluing its a long process, but fun.. Kind of like paint by numbers remember doing that? oh what fun that was….

This was inspired by my nephew TEDDY… He used to carry a stuffed Mr. Duck every where he went.. Hard to believe , He is all grown up now…… I am enjoying tearing papers and fitting them like puzzle pieces. its a slow long process . The best part of this is if you don’t like something you can always glue an other piece over the one you didn’t like…. added some mulberry paper to fluff him up some…..
Drew my image’s and then painted back ground paint background , just do some basic colors helps to keep it proportioned. then start tearing papers to form an image. and glue… add white torn paper for glass glare .
Hi Friends! Did you see the nifty looking Fuse tool from We R Memory Keepers that debuted at CHA this year? It is a hot tool that allowed you to make shaker pockets or divided page protectors (like…
Using heavy water color paper. draw your feather of glue a photo of feather to paper to follow your color patterns. I use an Aul, to pre poke the holes make sure you have plenty of space between holes so you don’t tear new holes or over side an hole. its pretty easy you can do backstitching works good or reusing a stiched hole already in place. then added beads ..fun and pretty. also made a green book mark. working on more of these everyone seems to want these…

This cover was done with a lot of different napkins , It’s a NAPKIN DECOUPAGE COLLAGE book cover plus I used some water colors to blend it all in to give it a more orange color to match the matt board covers.
OKAY so cool to turn into caddys . used homemade glue.. {look in search my blog} and glue paper towels to create helps keep it sturdy and helps cover up the staples they use. do as many layers as you like. painted mine black to go with the napkin collage design . make sure you peel the 2 layers of paper off the napkins first.
