Here is a simple card set that I made for the current Hero Arts challenge. I covered plain white paper with distress inks. Then I misted the stamp with water and stamped it to create this “bleached” look.

I’m loving this “new to me” Kraft paper. It is from Papertrey Ink and it is very sturdy! I think it is 110 lbs. weight compared to the approx. 60 lbs. weight I can buy at the local craft stores. This is so much better, especially for shaped cards. I highly recommend it.

Happy Friday! TGIF!

I recently had the pleasure of attending an adult fingerpainting class with some lovely ladies from church. We made two canvases using acrylic paints. The teacher was Jane Knight and her website is HERE.

Here is my first canvas:

Here is my second canvas:



I got some rustic-looking frames at Michael's (for 50% off!) which are the perfect finishing touch.

Have a great weekend! I will be attending THESE classes with Shari Carroll tomorrow!  :)
