....my apologies!

Howdy UmWowStudio Fans....

I have been a BAD DT member this summer!

The summer began with a house clean out
and ended in a total house renovation.
I have been the "super", designer and painter extraordinaire!

....leaving me not time to create!

....my word for this summer!

BUT....
today I was inspired by a fellow Designer and #halfanhourcreate

so I told my mind to hush and I got to creating!

I began by pulling out a previously created tag

and picked up a few #tovers off my floor
(don't be hating on me!)

and let my creative juices go....

I then gathered a few items
 an ArtFoamie stamp 

and a bit of Glimmer Mist (left on my desk from a previous creative session)

 and a piece of paper mesh from my floor.

....and by golly 

there were a few packages of flowers on the floor, too!!
So, I altered them with various Tattered Angels colors.

I gathered up a piece of vintage curtian 

a bit of newly acquired fleece,

paper scraps
(yes, from my floor!!)

and a UmWowStudio chippie

Knobby Branch
(I was so happy to see it on my desk)

I put all the goodies together and
finished off my creation
with a FABULOUS quote from
Yvonne Blair/Impression Obsession.
(TOTALLY HOW I FEEL)

Here are a few closeups of my creation....

....and in the end

I was a VERY HAPPY GIRL!

I promise to be a better DT'er....soon!

Find Peace

There is a lot of truth in the above verbage....
Can I say ~ LIFE can be rough!
But when life becomes difficult I find peace in CREATING!

I have acquired a few new supplies and 

immersed myself in trying them out.

I pulled out several of my UmWowStudio Stencils
Grid
Wonky Circle

Wheelie Mask

Hexagon Confetti 

and my new Gel Press
along with some paint.

I created A LOT of prints
which I chose to tear up and apply

randomly to my artboard.

Then I pulled out a jar of Light & Fluffy

and applied it randonly through

UmWowStudio ~ Wonky Circles.

When it was dry, I dropped a bit of Orange

 onto my canvas with a pipette.

Spritzed it with a bit of water to help the color move.

When it was dry I applied a layer of

Vintage Distress Medium.

I brayered on a bit of Spun Sugar

onto one of the Circle Salad stamps

and applied it randomly onto my canvas.

I then applied a layer of

White Gesso over the entire canvas.

I then mixed a bit Multi Medium Matte

with a few Prills and applied randomly to the canvas.

I repeated the technique of dropping a bit of

Caspian Sea onto the canvas and spritzing with water.

I chose the UmWowStudio chippie

Gears Background

which I cut in half to go under my flower cluster.

I also cut up UmWowStudio chippie

Large Ivy

and added into my flower cluster.

I finished up my canvas with a quote ~ Great Things

which I stamped onto a piece of TissueStock

and applied it to my canvas.

I hope you enjoyed my creative journey....

I know I found a bit of peace in the process.

....our crazy adventure

HOWDY.....thank you for stopping by the UmWowStudio blog today.

I have a fun little project I created.

I was digging around in my 'tovers pile

and found a strip of paper I had created.

I had adhered a piece of burlap to a piece of Kraft paper

and I had stenciled on the paper with

UmWowStudio ~ Wonky Circle Stencils

Seemed like this was a good place to start!

I love trying new things so I pulled out a few of my

new Baked Textures and embossed it onto my "paper"!

When I was done playing with color on my paper

I cut it up into ATC's.

I then pulled out my bag of UmWowStudio pieces parts.

I decided to use the "leftovers" from the

UmWowStudio ~ Home Grown Mash

To make the chippies even better, 

I pulled out a dollop of Modeling Paste and mixed in a bit of

beach sand to add MORE texture.

I repeated the technique using

UmWowStudio ~ Layered Hexagons

I also smeared a bit of the left over "texture" onto the ATC's.

When my newly textured chippies were dry,

I painted them with a bit of Glam

then I gave them a spritz of water to mix the color up.

I put my ATC's together

and adhered them to a piece of barn board.

Here are a few closeups of my ATC's.

I hope you enjoyed my creative adventure....

I encourage you to try something NEW today!

Howdy UmWowStudio Fans.....

I had a snow day
and I created up a storm.
Had to trudge through the snow
the next morning to get to my photo area!

I pulled out a tag and
mixed a bit of paint and modeling paste together
and applied it through 

UmWowStudio's ~ Grid Stencil

When dry, I spritz with mist and then dropped Glam onto my tag
with a pippette. I gently spritzed my tag with water and let it dry.

I applied a bit of Multi Medium Matte to my tag

with a paint brush and then I sprinkled on a bit of Prills.

I then dry brushed on a bit of white gesso.

I painted one of the
UmWowStudio ~ Signature Series ~ Small Ivy

with Modeling Paste.
When dry I dropped Glam on the Small Ivy,
spritzed with a bit of water and dried it.
You can see my technique HERE!

I cut apart my UmWowStudio ~ Small Ivy into 3 pieces.
I cut up a piece of wire mesh and stapled it to my tag.

I pulled out a bunch of Mist and colored a few white flowers!!

Every tag needs a quote!
