Faux Metal Tutorial

This was so much fun!!! My page titled The Journey (above this tut) features this faux metal. Here are the supplies you'll need...

How much do I love thee? Let me count the ways!! Isn't this flower adorable!? I ran across this tutorial on the web months ago and it has been rolling around my head ever since. It is so versatile making it perfect for every one one of your gorgeous creations. Let's go!

Calla Lily

I fell in love with this flower when I saw a video for it on the Heartfelt Creations website. So, if you don't want to read my tutorial you can click here to watch it over at HC. I did distress this up a little bit, which is not on the video. All right! Let's get started......

Faux Leather Tutorial

Making faux leather is easier than you think. I know, I say that about a lot of my tutorials. Have I been wrong? LOL...

Snowy Poinsettia

These flowers are just too cute! They are beyond easy to make too...BONUS!

Emerging Color Stamping Technique

Ok, I'll admit it...I really love stamping and the more I stamp the more I want to stamp. It's a wonderfully vicious circle. Emerging Color is one of those techniques that have some very basic and constant elements to it, but the creative license is all yours in how you present it. I'm sure if you Google or YouTube you will find a ton of tutorials and a lot of them will be very similar. Emerging Color boils down to this one word: resist. This is at its very core a resist technique. The whole trick to doing this is to remember that you will work in layers.

Live Ustream Chat!

I'm soooooooooo very excited!!! My very first LIVE Ustream chat!!!! It will be this coming Tuesday July 26th at 9pm eastern time. This chat is for my students who took my Fanciful Flowers class at Miss Art's. If you click the photo above it will take you to my class. My class will be available on the site for a while yet, so you still have time to sign up and join us for the chat.

I enjoyed making the videos and love everyone's comments. It's nice to know that I can pass along all of the inspiration I've gotten from all of you! Thanks everyone!

Hope to see you there!!!
