....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!

Life can JUST get CRAZY

Sometimes life JUST gets CRAZY!

Classes to be designed, kits to be made,

 deadlines to make, dr. appointments, etc

and then your body chooses not to play along!

and the stress builds......
what does one do???

EVERYTHING....all at once!

I had 4 projects going on all over my studio.

Hi UmWowStudio fans....

Lynne Forsythe here with my slightly edgy creation,

definitely outside my creative box!
(which is a good thing)

My creation began with me trying some
"new to me" Black Modeling Paste.

I applied it through
an UmWowStudio ~ Damask Stencil

onto a Canvas Shape ~ Diamond,

which had been cut apart and folded over.

When dry, I spritzed the canvas shape with water and

with a round brush, applied a bit of Orange Glam

and let it wick into the canvas shape.

Staying with the "orange and black" color scheme

I pulled out a few

UmWowStudio ~ Knobby Branch

painted with Black Gesso and

Black Modeling Paste.

and UmWowStudio ~ PomPoms

which I mixed Clear Modeling Paste with

Orange Glam, to create dimensional Poms.

I cut the chippies apart and nestled them into

the pocket behind the Visage,

which had been spritzed with Cornbread mist

and I dotted the eyes with a Sharpie.

I then accented the canvas shape with

pieces of a vintage zipper, buttons and trims

along with a bit of hand stitching.

I finished it off with a one of the Words for Art stamps,

 Archival Ink and a bit of woven interfacing.

And there you have it.....

I hope you enjoyed my INSANITY and

my out of the box creating....

I know I did!

(and I got everything else done too!!)

UmWowStudio New Release

Hi UmWowStudio Fans.....

I am SOOO EXCITED to announce 

UmWowStudio and I have partnered as part of

their Signature Series!

The new release consists of 6 Nature inspired chipboard designs.

And today I am excited to share my first creation with YOU!

One thing I LOVE about UmWowStudios chipboard it is extra thick

and able to take most anything you throw at it.

I began by choosing my UmWowStudio Knobby Branch

Then I applied a layer of Crackle Paste.

When dry I spritzed with Glimmer Mist and splattered

with Glimmer Glam.

I wasn't a hundred percent happy with the look

so I rubbed on a bit of StazOn.

When dry....I cut the my UmWowStudio Knobby Branch apart.

(Don't be afraid....it's OK! I designed them to be cut apart)

Next I pulled out UmWowStudios ~ Grid Stencil

and applied a bit of Clear Gesso

onto a Natural Stretched Canvas.

I then pulled out the my UmWowStudio ~ Large Ivy

I applied a layer of Glimmer Glam to both sides

of the UmWowStudio ~ Large Ivy

Then I cut the Large Ivy apart and bent the leaves.

When the stenciled image was dry,

I applied a bit of color.

It wouldn't be me if my creation didn't "say something"!

Here are more photos of my creation.

I hope you enjoyed my creation!

More of my designs can be seen here!

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!
