Oops! I Lied!

I told the Fabric in Altered Art group that I had posted my work for the last couple of days on my blog and then looked to be sure. How DUH is that?!?!??? So here is what I've been up to for the TAD (Thing-A-Day) challenge!

On Sunday, I did these pages for Frenzy Stamper's House Chunky Book Swap that will take place on Saturday. I'm doing 27 of each size and each pair is different. The smaller set is for me so I'll have one of each of my pages.

The background is some paper I painted that turned out the wrong color though pretty. I painted 140# CP Fabriano watercolor paper with various colors and color combinations trying not to mix the colors too much or to make any sort of pattern other than brush striations. Then I added the fabric strips (Princess Mirah Batik) and rubber stamped with black Staz-On and an Above the Mark architectural stamp. That didn't seem like enough so I added some paint with a sponge stamp that's mounted on a piece of clear plastic. I'll remember later what the brand is. You can only see half of the design because I purposely lined the center up with the edges. The paint is an Adirondack Dauber in aqua.

We wanted to watch a movie so I grabbed some pens and drew on a few pages while we watched Elizabeth, the Golden Age. Later, I added some paper flower embellishments.

I really like the pink and felt I had a bright idea with the doilies once I decided to cut out the boring white paper centers! The hearts are cut freehand from some paper I had paint-scraped for another project and edged with a black Versatile inkpad. Since that company doesn't believe in re-inkers, save your old one to use just for edging!


I feel like I've got every ink pad, bottle of paint, and rubber stamp I own out on my worktable and the surrounding area. The scary part is that I know I do have more!!!

I've got to run, but later, I'll post what I did last night!
