Sugar Lump Studios - A Sweet Smattering of Mixed Media Art
Sharing this little handmade card with you this evening. It was originally an ICAD (3 x 5) that I attached to a card background. The card was a piece of black cardstock I cut to 5.5 x 6.5 inches, and then I layered two pieces of pattern papers overlapping.
Fall has been very warm here in Michigan, but still many rainy days. I wish it could last a few more months as I know winter is coming. Enjoy your Saturday!
Today, I am sharing “Autumn Memories” tags that were created over the weekend. My favorite little collage girl takes center stage as a wee faerie. The digital tags were printed on to Double Matte Photo Paper (Staple’s) and cut with my trimmer. I inked the edges with some Distress Ink (Tim Holtz). Little bits of torn sheet music were added and green print washi tape. I cut the little girl out and butterfly wings. They were placed on the tag using Fabrictac glue.
The tag was mounted on some coffee stained file folder (you could use cardstock) and then I stitched with my machine in random spots. Small buttons were glued on to each tag and computer phrases that were printed in Microsoft Word. Each phrase was chalked. I tied each tag with some vintage seam binding ribbon (Sandstone) and viola.
Happy October!
Sneaking in a Halloween themed Gothic Arch while listening to my grandson chatter himself to sleep at nap time. He has been sick this week. He seems better today (the chattering) and I am looking forward to this month and watching him learn about the season. Now, if I can just stay consistent with creations and creative time!
I love this time of year and wish autumn lasted several months instead of weeks!
I had a little free time this afternoon, so I created some autumn collage art. These cards are 3 x 5 inches and the base is a kraft color piece of cardstock. I cut a patterned piece of paper just a smidgen smaller and layered my other papers on that first.
I then added torn bits of papers. Tags with an autumn theme, stamped pieces (London stamp and numbers), buttons, and collage images. I cut strips of song lyrics that had been printed in Microsoft Word and chalked them. One of the images I paper punched out in a round circle and backed it with a scalloped circle punched of patterned paper. Once that was all complete, I attached it to the 3 x 5 cardstock cards.
