Relax… Unwind...
… Get in a Flip-Flop state of mind!
I love this quote. So I decided to use it for my one layer card entry for the Hero Arts One Layer Challenge.
Background in Dylusion ink sprays (lemon, teal, green, opaque white) and a stencil.
Focal image drawn from an image from Shutterstock. I inked it with acrylic ink (Posca), added a layer of gloss medium to prevent the Dylusion inks from bleeding through, added a layer of gesso, and finally painted it with Distress Paints and Amsterdam acrylics (skin tone).

Still Life (or: Miracles Do Happen)
I used to hate still lifes. For some reason, though, I decided to give it another go. And here's how it's turning out :)
In chronological order. Cobra oil paints on canvas with an acrylic background.

Dutch Montmartre
Last weekend, the culture & art center of Delft organized the Dutch Montmartre. One of the city squares was filled with artists from all disciplines.
So I took my little easel, paints, and canvases, and decided to paint the court of the prince of Orange (Willem van Oranje).
I had a blast! Not only because of the cool reactions from (many, many) passersby, but also because of the inspiration from being together with so many artists.

Funky Fish and Baby Boys
So I made more cards today. Someone commissioned a baby boy card, so I made two for her to choose from.
The fish card came about after I created that background tag. It reminded me of a colorful ocean scene, so I added a clown fish for extra color and contrast.
The penguin and sock monkey were a special commission.

I Ought to Use This More!
Card making is one of my guilty pleasures. I'm a fervent believer of learning and taking inspiration from creative fields that you don't normally dabble in.
So I joined in on the Monday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp, entitled "I ought to use this more!".
I have so many products, I sometimes forget how cool they all are. So I decided to play with my Ranger Industries/Tim Holtz products again.
Using Distress Stains, Distress Paint, manila tags, Faber Castell dot tool, acrylics, gesso, a splatter tool, I created the tags on these cards. The circles are a 2" punch, covered with Pearlescent acrylic paint.
Purple card: The Thanks die I received in the mail today from Simon Says Stamp (along with other yummy products!). Added purple washi tape and sequins for added interest.
Pink card: The dog I drew with a Micron pen from a photo (Shutterstock). I used the Always border die from Simon Says Stamp with the matching sentiments. The dotted ribbon at the bottom is patterned paper.

Fly Away With Me
Card making is one of my guilty pleasures. I'm a fervent believer of learning and taking inspiration from creative fields that you don't normally dabble in.
Inspired by the Wednesday Challenge "You gotta have friends" from Simon Says Stamp. I don't have the Art Impression stamps mentioned, but I was inspired by those images to create something myself.
I searched for "Friendship" on Shutterstock and found this adorable photo of two boys in a suitcase. I bought the image and used it to draw my own little 'stamp'.
