Paper Bouquet

SWAT
Special Ops Day
Paper Bouquet
This paper flower bouquet is the latest in bright colors and needs no water.
I used the Craft Smith Dip Dyed paper to make the multi colored flowers.
To add contrast to my bouquet I used strips of washi on black paper.
I tried out both a vertical and horizontal look. Both make eye-catching paper blooms.

You Light Up The Room

I've started using my washi tape as ribbon by backing the tape with an identical pattern. This time I went a step further and made a ribbon rose.

Every Child is an Artist

SWAT 
This months Mood Board is all about May Flowers.
What catches my eye is the lettering and the watercolor look. I tried to reproduce that with my letters and shapes.
~ Every Child is an Artist ~
 Sidewalk chalk makes every surface an artist dream. I have outlawed the siding...but apparently that doesn't include the fence. Here my children were detailing animals for a very important game.
The alpha is a fabric based do-it-yourself style. I painted and dribbled mist on to the letters to get the watercolor effect. My washi tape shapes were a snap to make with all the bright colors that Love My Tapes offers.
The full quote as attributed to Pablo Picasso is:
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."

With Wings Out Spread

One of my favorite things about a photo shoot is the random-pose photos that can be cut out and scrapped with imagination. For this one Annalys was standing on a curb in front of a bush. Her foot tucked behind and arms relaxed looks just like a fairy in flight.
