Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now

Okay, thought I would take a break from posting my greeting card art and post a pic of one of our babies.. this is Hecate. Social, outgoing, and (in the pic) wondering where her worm is. This is our "control" dragon. We know she had the proper upbringing (food, UV, heat, etc) so we use her as the standard for the others.

Friends with Bleach

This card was plain 65# white cs.... added some streaks of color (Marvy pads) and then bleached the whole of it with paper tower & Clorox. then a clear sticker with 3D flowers and you have yourself a unique card.... interesting note, bleaching block gives you BROWN, not WHITE. Hmmmmm

Bleaching

What happens when you take a wadded up paper towel, some household bleach & colored copy paper & put them in a room together? This >>>>>> Again, my Heron (matted and un) and then an egret. Can you tell I like wading birds? Also a sympathy card on the same paper. All 4 of those are from ONE SHEET of 20# copy paper, lavendar in color. Yes, LAVENDAR. Welcome to bleach :-)

T his is not a good shot but one of my fave cards... the base is recycled old file folders. Front is alcohol ink with a Dover clip art image (I think) and a dragonfly punchout.

2 more, 1 Bday and 1 square stamp

:-) the title will also take you to the song of the day... FYI. Love Remains the Same. SO, the cards on the left is a plain jane HB card for the person that is not into all the frilly shiny stuff. The card on the right is just the opposite. Again, using scrap paper from another project (is why partially pink) I used one side of a 3 sided texture stamp with green ink & clear EP for the marbled look. A little glitter on the edges and some green & pink fibers along the spine and 'poof!' a card is born.

out taking pictures of things... and decided I needed to do something with them... so I turned this one into a postcard w/a corner made for inserting edges,
