File Folder Art

Cover of my file folder art page. Some of the techniques used are from Mixed Media Mayhem workshop by the fabulous Roben-Marie Smith. Seriously, if you want to learn about mixed media art, she is where you need to start.


This is the front of the folder laid flat.

This is the inside of the folder.

Rose Card for Mom

Made this card for my mother for her birthday awhile back using Papertrey Ink's Year of Flowers - Roses. I'm submitting it for their contest drawing to win a gift certificate to their store. Keeping my fingers crossed! :)

Peony Journal Page

Another journal page inspired by Donna Downey's "Signature Series" book. This is my favorite so far. The flowers are stenciled with modeling paste and colored with ink and paint. The stems are my own fun twist: dyed, twisted cheesecloth attached with gel medium.....turned out better than I planned! :)

Follow Your Heart Journal Page

This page was inspired by a Donna Downey canvas from her "Signature Series" book. The background was done with a Crafter's Workshop stencil, modeling paste and Pan Pastels. The heart was made with modeling paste. It looks a little wonky in the photo....I need to use my camera instead of my phone for pics!
