Passion Inspired Art

My project today is a frame created with distress crackle paint/frayed burlap.  The frame was an unfinished 5 x 7" frame that

was painted black before adding the crackle paint.  I stamped the frame using Versamagic chalk Jumbo Java ink and Adirondack

Pigment in cranberry for the words.  The decorative corner was a shiny bright gold embellishment I found in my craft supplies

the other day.  It was embossed with Distress powders in Antique Linen & Walnut Stain.  I lightly sponged on some cranberry

pigment ink.  I love how it looks like it has been corroding for years.  The mat is cordinations that was run through the cuttlebug

with the textile embossing folder and then swiped with Jumbo Java Chalk ink.  All the details on the main image can be seen in

a post HERE.  I just changed out the mini pop cap ART Eye from brown to cranberry to stand out a little.  The shimmer mist can be

seen in the detail photo.  The words on the frame are available from Innovative Stamp Creations ATC Elements II sheet.

CC182 Love Art

I made this for today's Color Challenge on Splitcoast, to create a monochromatic card.  The images are a set by Artful Illusions that I just love.  They were stamped in Distress Walnut Stain and sponged with Distress Vintage Photo.  The art was stamped and punched w/ a 1/2" circle punch and mounted on a mini bottle cap that was smashed.  I finished the card with a Pearlized Distress Mist using Distress Vintage Photo Ink/Perfect Pearls Blush/Water. 

Woman's Face Collage

I picked up this image at the Akron, OH stamp show last weekend and paired it with some images from Innovative Stamp Creations. The marbled embossing on the frame and the text is by ISC and some of my favorites. The woman's face and flourish are by Artful illusions. This is a piece of art for my personal stamp space and something that is close to my heart. I hope you enjoy it.
The Create letters are by Lil Davis Designs and were distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink. The marble background was stamped with versamark on a black photo mat and embossed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress EP and DTP'd with walnut stain distress ink to have them blend with the black mat. The Images were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on vanilla cardstock that was DTP'd with TH old Paper ink. The words (ISC) were stamped in TH Frayed Burlap and then I sponged some Tattered Rose and Weathered Wood onto the face.
