"Pretty In Pink" ATC Share

Hello Lovelies,

Today I wanted to share some ATCs I made for an instagram swap i joined. We had to make 10 (!) ATCs and the theme was "our style". I thought this would be a challenge for me because A) i never made that many ATCs for a swap before and B) i never made that many of the SAME ATC before. All the ATCs i've ever made were different. But, as it turned out, it was relatively simple for me. I decided a way to mass produce everything in stages and it worked. 

 These 2 are my favorites 

I won't go into too much detail on how i made these ATCs because I cover it all in my video down below:

I also made these ATCs with the idea of entering last week's Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge but i missed the due date. Fortunately for me the theme this week is pink, black, and white so I can enter these babies for this week's challenge (score!).

That's it for me. I will be back soon with a Midori Traveller's Notebook post on why I chose to go this route for 2015. 

Hope to see you again!

Hello Lovelies,

I am back with an other Oddball Art Stamp Design Team share!

Every 1st of the month we have an "anything goes" using an Oddball art digi challenge over on the Oddball Art's Facebook Page. 

We were given this adorable Big Eyed Girl digi and she is one of my favorites! I made an art journal page:

Sentiment is from an AFI song

My favorite part are these glittered stars

I really enjoyed working on the background of this page. I have a video where I go through the step by teps  in creating this page, please watch below:

Remember, our month long challenge over at the Oddball Art Blog is still going on. You have until May 14th to enter your Easter/Spring project! 

I will also be entering this page on Simon Says Challenge for this week, the theme is Anything Goes.

Thanks For stopping by,

Serena

It's A Celebration {Art Journal Page}

Hello Lovelies,

Stampotique is having an art call where they are looking for some samples of  work made using Stampotique stamps to add to their online store. So I definitely jumped at this opportunity and want to play along, how cool if one of my creations was posted on the store!?!

So I created this art journal page in my new 5x8 Dylusions art journal.

I decided to keep the background simple and just used some paints to build the background color. I then went over it with a Prima flower stencil and Pomegranate Seed Dylusions Spray.

the Stampotique images I used are some of my favorites from Daniel Torrente and they are:

-Cousin Carmin-

-Minkygirl-

-Mothloved-

-Pigtales-

I then made a wonky border with black and white pens and I added some doodling with a black pen. I am also using this page to commemorate the last hop for the 3 month spending freeze I was on. So to celebrate I decided to use party hat stickers! I think it turned out really cute. And I typed and printed out the sentiment and backed it on some silver tulle (I love doing that).

I will be entering this page in the Simon Says challenge blog as well.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Feels Like Forever

Hello Lovelies,

It feels like forever since I joined a Stampotique challenge! This week's theme is to use pens/paint. I didn't think I had anything I could use to enter until I looked on my desk, I had made fun happy mail to sent out to 2 winners of my Facebook challenge, click the link to check out my Facebook page. It all worked out perfectly since I used paint pens and regular black pen to do some doodles on the envelopes.

Please excuse the washi tape, I had to protect their privacy.

I know it is simple but I didn't want to add too much in case the post office needed to add stamps and what not to it. On the back I wrote my address, sealed it with washi tape, and stamped 3 dancing skeletons. Hehe, gotta love the skulls!

Thanks for stopping by, you should play along with their challenge!

Stay Creepy

Hi Ghoulies!

I'm here today with a ATC share. I am part of a swap with my friend Crystal and we decided to make creepy ATCs for each other. This is the one I made for her. I will be entering it in the Stampotique ATC Challenge . I am also entering it in the recent Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is to use a rubber or clear stamp. And in the Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge blog the theme this week is cute and creepy, how perfect is that! I am also entering it at Paper Issues Halloween link up Giveaway!

I made the background using 3 different colors of Silks Acrylic Glaze and made the black and white border using sharpies and pens.

I used Stampotique's Mothloved By Daniel Torrente.

 I then added some wood veneers that I colored in black and added some black glitter. 

Thanks for stopping by!
