Handmade Cards

Inside the Card

Using painted papers to decorate the inside of a card.

Painted cardstock is the body of the card.

I used tissue paper painted with gold paint and glued it

onto each side of the card,

The sunstamp on one side and the HAPPY DAY

word strip on the other side were glued

over the gold tissue.

Painted Portraits

Maggie and Me

So these started as an idea to have fun with our pictures.

Just face shots changed into black and white

with Photoshop and printed out on simple copy paper.

I used stamps and strips of paper with paint and

laid on layers of paint to create texture.

Wanted to create lots of color and movemtns on the surface of the

black and white photocopy.

Didn't start with a plan.... just playing with things on the

work table

Another collage with the angel

and cat figure....laid

on an assortment of papers and textures.Part of the background

is the newspaper that

got covered with paint when I painted another project.

Nothing is wasted.......

Traveling Angel

So trying out the cat angel on painted backgrounds and considering

how much it too much.....should there be more added and when is the

painted background too much.....?????
