Back at the art table...

I sort of took a few days off from creating so it is slow going at the moment. Here are my latest creations.

The first is a CCC project incorporating Tim Holtz fragments. I call it ART Fragment. I love this technique found on page 63. One could really go crazy with this one.


I have the Cricut machine and have amassed a large number of cartridges so purchasing another machine is not high on my priority list. However, after taking a technique class at Archivers I fell in love with the textures and the possibilities that a texture/embossing machine offers that the Cricut does not. This weekend I finally broke down and bought a Texture Boutique from Sizzix and here are the results of my playing.

   

This card is the combination of skills/techniques I learned take the Vintage Card and the Painted Petals classes at Archivers. It incorporates embossing and watercolor stamping. If you have an Archivers near you call them immediately and sign up for the Painted Petals class!
 

Here are two other random creations.
