A creative Bunny Trail by LynneF

Hi UmWowStudio Fans.....

I LOVE creative bunny trails.

You know...

when you have a creation in mind

and you get to a certain point and you say....

WHAT IF....

and head in a totally different direction!!?!?

I did JUST THAT with this project.....

.....it all began with me pulling out my box of
UmWowStudio chippies!!

There were a bunch of odds and ends that had escaped
from their packaging, in the bottom of my box,
so, I pulled out a black cardboard box from my stash...

and adhered the pieces parts to the lid with

Multi Medium ~ Matte.

Let's see.....I used.....
Puzzle Mash
Star Confetti
Gear Mash
Sketchy Hearts Mash
Floral Collection
pieces from Grid Border
Home Grown Mash
(I think that covers them all!!)

....this is where the WHAT IF moment happened.

I thought....what if I used my newly adorned lid as a stamp??

So.....I pulled out some paint, a brayer and a piece of cardstock

and let the stamping begin!!

.....and then the bunny trail ensued!

I spritzed a bit of Glimmer Mist

lathered on some gesso, spritzed more Glimmer Mist

and added a bit more paint....

Then I thought.....what a GREAT card

the "new paper" would make!!!

So, I went back to my UmWowStudio box

and pulled out my Wonky Circle Stencil

and applied some Polishing Plaster through it!

When my card was dry....I spritzed it with

MORE Glimmer Mist and

smeared on Aged Copper paint with a palette knife.

When it was dry, I traced around a few of

the Wonky Circles.

Then, with a paint brush, I applied a bit

of Multi Medium ~ Matte

and added a few Micro Beads.

Here is my finished card.....

To finish off my card, I painted

the "verbage" Heart from the

Fortune Teller Mash

and a Heart from

Layered Hearts.

Now, BACK to the original project....

(sorry.....I neglected to take photos of this process!)

I lathered on a layer of White Crackle Paint...

when dry I spritzed the lid with

various Glimmer Mists

until I achieved my desired look.

I used the remaining "new paper" to cover my lid and box.

And finished it off with a Garden Rosette, colored to match,

along with a leaf from the

Home Grown Mash collection

and a bit of vintage lace.

PHEW.....what a GREAT Bunny Trail that was!!!

Hope you enjoyed it at much as I did and

that you end up on a creative Bunny Tail too!!

ATC Love by Lynne

HOWDY UmWowStudio Fans.....

Lynne Forsythe here to share my
latest creative journey....

I love working with new products
to see how they function
in conjunction with other products.

My ATC's are one of these such experiments!
Water-Media ATC Cards and ColorBurst
with UmWowStudio ~ Stencils/Mask.

Wonky Circles Stencil

Wheelie Mask

Butterfly Confetti Stencil

On my first ATC,

I "squeezed" a few ColorBurst colors into

UmWowStudio Wonky Circles Stencil 

spritzed ATC with water.
When dry, I drew inside the stencil with a marker.

I painted a few pieces from the
UmWowStudio ~ Star Confetti
and finished my ATC
off with a stamped quote.

On my second ATC, I used 

ColorBurst through the

UmWowStudio ~ Wheelie Mask 

and applied Clear Texture Medium

through the

Wonky Circle Stencil.

When totally dry, I spritzed the entire

ATC with Silver Bells.

LOVE THIS EFFECT!

Finished off with 

UmWowStudio ~ Sketchy Hearts MASH.

and another stamped quote.

For my third ATC,

I used ColorBurst and the Wheelie Mask.

I then applied White Stucco through

UmWowStudio ~ Butterfly Confetti Stencil

LOVE how the ColorBurst seeped into

the White Stucco.

Finished off with a heart from

UmWowStudio ~ Home Grown MASH

and another stamped quote.

I hope you enjoyed my creative journey.....

I know I truly did!!

Finding Me by Lynne

Can I just say I am GIDDDYYYY with excitement

about my first posting on the
UmWowStudios Creative Team!!!??!??!

I was already to create a step out tutorial

but became so engrossed in

the design process

I glued everything down

and didn't take a single picture....UGGGH!

The inspiration for my tag was "dark blue"

so I pulled out a bottle of Indigo ~ Color Burst

along with Platinum and Pewter ~ Liquid Metal and a

Kraft Tag....and played!

I ran Perfect Paints through

UmWowStudios ~ Handwriting Stencil.

While the tag was drying I began gathering supplies.

vintage curtain

chicken wire

canvas

threads and

my stash of UmWowStudios chippies!

I dumped out the

UmWowStudios ~ Alpha ONE 

and began searching for the letters to spell

FINDING ME

finished off with a Sketchy Hearts MASH.

Now that I had a title.....

.....I just let the creative process flow.

creating flowers

repurposing hearts

tearing strips of curtian

stapling items to the tag

....including more of my favorite things

vintage lace

spiral flowers

colored Leaf Stems

diecut canvas....

I hope you have enjoyed my creative process....

I KNOW I DID....

it was just what I needed!

CREATING....a great THOUGHT DIVERTOR~

THANK YOU for stoppin' by!
