How About a Little Happy This Monday!

Hello all!

Is it Monday already? Well, how about a page to put a smile on your face! I followed along with this month's sketch...it's a fantastic starting point to fill your head with ideas! Here's my girl, happy as can be and I think she's even striking a little pose....

I pulled out a bunch of my UmWowStudio goodies here :) For the background I used:

UWS Circle Confetti Mask
UWS Herringbone Mask
UWS Checker Board Mask

To create embellishments, I used several chipboard pieces:

UWS Gears Background

UWS Layered Arrows

UWS Alpha Two

And since I got my inspiration from the September sketch, I just had to throw in a flair (which coincidentally matched perfectly with Alpha Two!):

UWS Life is Good Flair 

Hope that put a little happy in your day!

Steampunk Necklace with Jen

I've got another wearable art project for you!  I had so much fun creating the Hexagon Necklace from last month, that I made another using an UmWowStudio Doily!

 I loved the natural color of the chipboard doily so I left it alone! I added lots of fun embellishments and an artsy center.

I took the Cold Porcelain clay from the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Mixed Media with Gelatos kit and mixed some with the Gold Champagne Gelato® and pressed it into a mold for the wings.

 I used other products from the kit to create the center art.  I wanted texture and drama for the necklace.  I have more information about the process on this project on my blog.

I love to use UmWowStudio's chipboard pieces for all kinds of art but this one is perfect for a dramatic wearable art piece!   I hope I inspired you to create different types of art with these amazing embellishments!
