80th Birthday

Hi there, this card was made today for a friend's 80th Birthday, I used tim holtz texture fade Riveted Steel, which I also used on the previous card, I shaded it with Tim's distress ink pad "Vintage Photo" and used silver card for the pipes , and cut out the gears from a mixture of white and silver card, which I shaded with the Vintage Photo, I cut a small piece of tan card for the tool box and cut the tools from white card, and coloured them with distress markers, and then shaded the edges with the vintage photo, and hope the receiver will enjoy his card, and I hope you like it too, thanks for visiting today, Jasann

Tool Man

Hi there, here is a card I made yesterday, with the TIm Holtz stamp "the watch man and used distress markers to colour him and for his face I used a Faber=Castille water colour pencil, no: 432, flesh colour, for the face and hands, I used a piece of grey paper from my stash for the tool bucket and used a piece of silver card to cut the cards and the pipes and water, these are memory box cutting dies, I enjoyed making this card and I hope you like it, thanks for visiting today, Jasann

Star Wars

 Hi there everyone, sorry I have been away for some time, hope you all had a lovely Christmas and hope that for you all 2016 will be very special.  Here are two cards I made for my younger two grandsons, they are right into Star Wars, and I found a site www.artforkidshub.com where I was taught to draw these two images, which I am happy with, used black acrylic paint for the background and white texture paste for the moon and stars and am happy with these, hope you also like them, and thanks for visiting, Jasann
