Mixed Media Cards - a small attempt

I have so much paint I don't know what to do with so I thought I would try painting my cards before I decorate them. A little mixed media (very little).

Products used:

Lifestyle Crafts / Quickutz Nesting Balloons

My Favorite Things Flat bottom clouds (I crimped these)

My Favorite Things By the numbers stamp set

White acrylic paint

My sewing machine and white thread.

I think I will paint on a thick layer next time or try a different colour and see what is looks like.

Be crafty.....be happy!

Paper Piecing MFT Pure Innocence stamps

I have been wanting to paper piece for quite a while and finally got the chance and had the time to use this technique.


I always wondered what I was going to do with the stamps that look like they needed to be copic coloured.....it's paper piece!!!!


I love the way it looks like you used copics to give her dress a design/pattern.


You can paper piece anything!!!


Here is my second attempt.

Be craft be free........
