Easter Egg Card (Tutorial)

Easter is this coming weekend! It snuck up unexpectedly but there is still time for the crafty aspects of the holiday.
One thing I did this year was pull out my watercolor paper, paints and combined them with some new skills with masking fluid. Cards are a great way to learn new art techniques without the scary expectations of Creating Art.

I put the tutorial up at my work blog. Check it out!

PS- Everything I learned about masking I learned from the wonderful Linda Baker.

Bunny Circle Cuts- Tutorial

Why do more work than you need if you can get a basic start? This is why I love the bunny head from circle. Yes, you could just cut out the head shape, but the punch gives you a great place to start.

Bunny Paste Cards (Tutorial)

I have a tendency to be inspired by products in a store. When we were filming Sherrill Kahn, she mentioned that product inspires her creativity. It wasn't until that moment that I realized that I am the same way. I walk through a craft store and say Sherrill's fantastic phrase, "What if?" Sound familiar?

But sometimes I look around my studio and am aware of how much stuff I own. Also sound familiar? I bought light molding paste when I was learning the techniques in Ann Baldwin's second DVD, "Text & Texture in Mixed Media Collage," which I love. But then the light molding paste sort of sat until I looked at a stack of Goodwill bound craft supplies. I heard Sherrill's phrase, "What if?" again. This is how Paste Cards were born. They are wonderfully filled with texture and the graphic silhouette that is in so much of my work. The light molding paste is fun to use and the possibilities are limitless. Enjoy!
