   Welcome to this month’s product focus for Artistic Outpost . The theme is Masculine, perfect for the upcoming Father’s Day.

    I chose to work with the new Wander and Dream stamp set, perfect for our theme. I made a tag pouch and tag using patterned paper and paints. The vines are stamped from the Hayride set. The script stamp in the background is from the new Springtime set.
   For more masculine themed projects and inspiration please hop along to each Designer’s blog. Thank you for looking!

Wall hanging

image

    I made this wall hanging some time ago for Pink Persimmon using Lisa Pace’s Antiquated Collection.
   I cut lots of circle die cuts and rolled them up and added hat pins to each piece. I place them in a rosette fashion and added a die cut and my stamped image over the top.
    Thank you for stopping by.

     Hello! I made this stamp holder some time ago but have not had the opportunity to share before now. I used a set of Lynne Perrella stamps I won from one of the challenges over at PaperArtsy. My background is chipboard. I used molding paste and a stencil to create texture and then dripped paint.

image

    I added a die cut and a few flowers on the front cover to embellish.

      Here is one of the inside covers.

   The back cover. Thanks for stopping by and for all your encouraging comments.

Friends Canvas

    This month’s post for I Am Roses is a canvas I made of my son and his bus driver. She is really missing him now that we moved but I made this canvas for her to remember Winston. Can you believe I made this after my craft room was all packed in boxes? All I had available was a few items at the top of the box. It was a fun challenge to craft with just a few items I had on hand.

image

    I hope you are enjoying your summer. I am loving all the time with my family!

     It has been a while since my last post. We are all moved into our townhouse and mostly unpacked so I am hoping to start crafting again and posting more consistently.
   This post is a bit late but I have an excuse…I have been busy. My tin was recently published in the June issue of Somerset Studio Gallery. I am so excited as this was my first time being published!

   It is moving week for us so I am sharing a canvas I made some time ago using a picture of my Grandmother.

   I am not going to elaborate on how I did it because of time so the pictures will have to speak for themselves.

expeditions journal, paper bag

Good Morning! I have another page to share in my new ‘Expeditions’ art journal. I bought a collage sheet of siblings several years ago and I think I might finally be able to put it to use. I love this image. My background is book paper over a brown paper bag. Lots of gesso, paints and stamping along with layers of ephemera finish off the page. I was able to use up a lot of scraps! Wo-hoo!

Mail Art

image

I made this mail art using some of my favorite envelopes. They better be a favorite because I bought them in bulk. I used my Artistic Outpost stamps from the Flapper Fashion plate.

image

The beautiful flowers are from I Am Roses. I used a few sunflowers, white gardenia petals and mini roses.

image

I added lots of paint, gesso and layers of paper to add more interest. And of course, I love dripped paint.
