oy... so behind

Cleaned up the studio a bit and found a pack of paper frames that I bought years ago and never used. No more of that, I'm going on a use-it-or-lose-it campaign, so I found a pic and made a post card. It's on the way to a mail art pal who shall remain nameless but will now recognize this card when it shows up in her mailbox.

The background was a fail from a painting experiment, if I remember correctly. Or might have been the newspaper I use as a table covering while I'm working. In any case, I added some more color with Distress Stain, used some Tangie grunge stamps, stamped some circles with the cardboard tube from something or other (I save pretty much every cardboard tube I come across cause they make such good stamps), did some doodling. Wa-la - art!

digital collage "remember"

Made for a challenge at Scrapbook Graphics, my primary digital hangout.

Had to use the birds on a wire, the large green scrap on the right, and the large red scrap above it.

I added a ton of other stuff, layer upon layer, played with blending and opacity quite a bit.

I really like this one...
