Fruits and Veggies with Wicked Wednesday

Hello! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge. This week, we are sponsored by A Day for Daises, so you know I am a happy girl since I love Tammy's images so so much. The theme this week is "Fruits and Veggies."

I used Canned Pear for my ATC. I colored the image with my Tombow Dual Brush markers. I fussy cut it out, and added it to some cool striped paper that pulled out the colors that I used to color the image. I added that to some yellow cardstock, and I inked the edges. I also added some Divine Twine from Whisker Graphics, who, coincidentally the Stampendous team is doing a hop with this week. You'll see a project from me for that on Thursday.

I love how citrusy this ATC came out. I don't usually use this combination of colors, but I love how refreshing it is. And that twine was really perfect for it too. Please check out all of the other "yummy" ATC's that the rest of the team has created by visiting the Wicked Wednesday Blog. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

DELIGHTFUL ATC Alison!!!
LOVE your PRETTY jar of preserved pears ... it reminds me of precious times at Grandma's house, so busy while fruit was in season and so tasty all year long :)

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Blog Hop Finale

Hello! It's time for the finale of the DecoArt and Stampendous blog hop. Have you enjoyed yourself this week? I bet you've got some new techniques that you want to try. I know I do! I am super stoked about my project for today. And it solves a dilemma that we've had in my kids' room for a while. What you see above is 2 pieces of PVC. And some fab DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics ! So, what am I doing with PVC, you ask? Well, my mom bought my son a light saber(Darth Vader's) for Christmas, and he wanted to display it, but we weren't really sure where in his room, and how. I wanted something cooler than hooks, and we thought it would be neat to have the light saber vertical, instead of horizontal. Plus, there was a fab spot for it if it hung in that direction. So, my husband came up with the PVC pip idea, and I altered the pieces. The end cap holds the base, and the small piece of pipe holds up near the end. And the 2 pieces are spaced out enough so that...
