Mixed media - Love yourself featuring Lucy Loo Dreaded - The east wind

Image
Hey!  Our long weekend is already over... booohooo but we had some WONDERFUL weather so can't complaint. Today I'm here to share with you a new release image from The East Wind  She's called Lucy Loo Dreaded and she was the perfect image to use in the mission inspiration for the month of September that takes place here . I made a video to share with you my process because, well it really wasn't all that planned... didn't know how this would turn out until it was finished! The journal that I used for this is a magazine that I'm transforming!  I really love it because it gives me some print in the back and it repurpose something. Here is the finished look I colored her up with my copics and then I used some gel pen on top of her shirt/armor.  The sentiment was found online and I wrote it in word document and then just tore it apart.  I used some silks for the background, some archival black ink as well as fabercastel silver pit pen.  The background wa

September Oddball Facebook challenge

Image
Hey I'm back!!!! And this time it's for the new challenge taking place over at Oddball Facebook group !  Where it's anything goes so long as you use an Oddball image!  If you don't have one don't forget you can get 10% off by using the code DTVICKY10 when doing your purchase :) In this journaling page I used the image 306 .  This image comes with a super cute snail that I fussy cut it out and placed it on top of the other.  I did a backing in black. The images were colored with my copics and I used some stickles on the wings.  The sentiment is from Tim Holtz and it's a stamp that I used.  The backing is the back of an envelope that I got from Erin Young!  I did a swap with her and that's the back of that envelope.  I thought it was just PERFECT and I totally NEEDED to use it!!!!  Doesn't it make a wonderful background??!  Much better than any paper that I could have used. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Fab n funky challenge

The East Wind - Shine on

Image
I'm totally ADDICTED to journaling now. I was just visiting a local art store and realized that I hardly do any cards anymore.... yup.... don't know what will be happening Christmas time... I really need to kick my butt in gear! Anyway I found a fabulous book (a very tall one) at a garage sale this past weekend and this was just PERFECT for the journaling for the new freebie and the new challenge over at  The east wind .  The challenge this time around is Shine on.  So something that shines (ie stars, moon, etc.) In my case I did a sky with a bunch of stars and you can see my video here: This was one of the faster EVER journaling page but very fun.  I used a napkin as my background and then some paint and some stencil :) The sentiment was found online when I googled up stars sentiments.
