Spring cleaning and catching up

Okay...so I haven't posted in forever because I didn't finish organizing and it's still crazy in the art room, but that didn't stop me from creating. I decided to share some of what has been going on because it has been too much fun.

In October a group of friends started gathering at my friend Joy's house to spend some time creating and sharing.
This is what we were up too -

Upper left corner was my card. Upper right was Joy's. Lower left was Paulette's. Lower right was Berta's.

The idea is to create your design and bring all the parts so everyone else can make one also.

For my card, I started with a watercolor card, trimmed the edges using deckled scissors and layered a piece of soft green cardstock. On a piece of mulberry paper I used an old ink pad from Ranger that had multiple colors in it called either Spice or Foliage. I have not checked to see if Ranger still makes these cool multi-colored pads as mine are many, many years old but still work. The stamp I used for stamping this beautiful tree is from Rosebud Rubber Stamps. They seem to be out of business. I have a lot of stamps and since I have been collecting them since the 80's, many of them are old. SORRY! After stamping, we added some dimensional adhesive, sprinkled in some glass beads, tied on a ribbon and voila'....a beautiful card for the fall.
