This card was made using Stamperia paper folded into two to form the card. The design was made on another piece of Stamperia paper. The leaves were die cut from Altenew Leaves dies and colored with Copic markers. The flower tub was made using a Sizzix die.  It was embossed within an embossing folder.  In the background I have used an
Altenew metallic thread ( I saw this on YouTube created by one of the Altenew designers).  

A blank purchased zipper purse was used. Painted with acrylic abstract designs and then collaged with diecut leaves from Altenew.  Great for a gift for anyone.

Art by Marlene products will give your day color and happiness.  All her products are so delightful and charming and if you have no ideas for the day, Art by Marlene elements will help you to build up a fun journal page.    In this picture, I used collage paper and paper elements to create this colorful page. I used acrylic paint to add to the colors and texture.  The background was made with gel medium paper pieces to create texture onto which I added the focal points.

Tons of colors on Lynne Perella stamps. These are made by Paperartsy. The papers have been glued onto thick card stock and then with diecuts from Tim Holtz Big Z dies the pieces are die cut. They can be used to embellish scrapbooks and journals. I have also made key rings with them. 

This is a flipthrough of one of my first journals that I started a few years ago.  There is no particular theme, but rather experiments with a variety of brands, papers, dies and paints
