What does one do???

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

I must tell on myself....

when I started this project I had
ZERO inspiration
ZERO creativity....

just a deadline to make!

What does one do??
Go back to what you know works.....

a piece of paper,

a stencil and a bit of medium

and so I began.....

I applied modeling paste through my

UmWowStudio ~ Grid Stencil

onto a sheet of 7DotsStudio ~ Fortune Teller paper.

(a round of applause to our fearless leader for this AWESOME paper!)

When it was dry I applied a layer of Clear Gesso
to help the next layer of color move easily.

I thought I was creating a video on how I did the next step
but seems to be......I was mistaken!

Then, I pulled out my package of
Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals.

I randomly dropped color onto my stenciled paper,

then spritzed with water and let it run.

When I was happy with the colors,

I dried the paper and tore the paper into strips.

Next, I pulled out a few of my newly acquired textures

a bit of fabric from a flea market in Florida

a few pieces of paper mesh

and my good ole standbys

dictionary paper and flute.

I tore them into various pieces and arranged them on

a 12 x 12 piece of kraft paper.

I then adhered all my pieces down with multi medium matte.

When dry, I used a fan brush to randomly apply

more multi medium matte on my "paper"

which I sprinkled Glass Glitter into.

When everything was dry, I flipped over my new "paper"
and cut into various sizes.

.....I applied my new "paper" to a greeting card base and

here are the results!!

I used a NAKED UmWowStudio ~ Gears Strip
behind my flower cluster.

I even made a bonus card.....

I painted a diecut ivy and...

Here are the results...

Not bad for having

ZERO inspiration

ZERO creativity....

Sometimes you JUST HAVE TOO.....

and it will come!

Spring has SPRUNG!

The trees are sporting their baby leaves.

The animals are titterpated and

the birds are busy building their nests.

And FINALLY the sun has come out!

So, I thought embellishing a
Birdhouse would be apropos!

I began by covering my entire birdhouse
with white gesso.

I then cut paper to fit the sides of the birdhouse.

I then pulled out my

UmWowStudio Damask Stencil

and applied a bit of texture medium 

through it.

When dry, I adhered the papers

to my birdhouse.

I spritzed my birdhouse and a bit of 

vintage ric rack with a mist.

I applied a layer of texture medium to

a chippie for the
UmWowStudio Floral Collection

and then colored it with a bit o glam and mist.

I accented the

UmWowStudio Button Mash

with a bit of glam.

 I had covered the roof with pieces of
decorative wood but I felt it needed something more.

So, I pulled out my
UmWowStudio ~ Grid stencil

and applied a bit of texture medium through it.

When dry I spritzed it all with a bit of mist.

Now, you know my birdhouse needed to

say something.

So, I chose a stamp, stamped it,

cut it out.

Here are a few closeups of my finished Birdhouse.

Do you see the little piece of the
UmWowStudio ~ Grid Border??

I hope you enjoyed my piece of Spring....
