Boots aren't just made for walking...


It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since my last post.

Wow—I really have been out of the loop.

I’m just starting to revisit my favorite sites and I’m beginning to feel like Brendan Fraser in “Blast from the Past”—totally oblivious to what new techniques and materials are out there.

Like Brendan’s character, I’m living (creating) in the past.

Oh well…there’s plenty of time to catch up.

In the meanwhile, I went to work this afternoon using one of my favorite techniques—fabric motifs. 


The boot is cut from some western themed fabric and the stamps from a Hero Arts “Paris” collection I got a while back but never got around to using.

Out here in the great state of Wyoming, people stick flowers in boots—dried flowers in real boots and real flowers in ceramic boots. 

It’s a look I love and thought I’d try to recreate on a birthday themed card.
  
Hmm—I just realized that I would love to receive a bouquet of flowers in a nice new pair of boots for my next birthday. 

Maybe I need to drop some hints!

HA - Cuter in real life...

Had this idea in my head all week long, but only just got to execute it this evening.


It didn’t come out how I envisioned and it really does looks better in real life.

It’s a Mother’s Day card/gift, with a note attached to the back, to say thanks for being such a great mom.

I don’t have many Hero Arts Stamps, so I have to work with what I have.

I stamped the image on heavy muslin, outlined it with a copic marker and embroidery thread and then attached it to a canvas I had painted/washed with acrylic paint.

Thanks for looking…

Hero Arts Spring Challenge

No, this isn’t a spring color combo…


but it is bright and cheery, which is something we need in our neck of the woods today since we’ve had snow, ice and wind the past two days.

I used the Happy Hello clear stamp set (Cl231).

Since I have yet to venture into the world of “Copic-ing,” I decided instead to use some Prima Daisy Doodles to add color.


Happy Spring everyone…
