Quick Post—Simple Spring Cards

Just some simple cards I made in spring colors—a powder blue card base, Mustard Seed Distress ink background, and Rouge Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink for the spirals.  These cards are quick, easy, and cheerful.  

 The "Thank You" stamp is from Inkadinkado, and the "Get Well Soon" sentiment is by Stampabilities.  The Galaxy Spiral stamp is from Judikins.  The stamp could easily be used as fireworks on an Independence Day card and could be a good image for cards with retro or mod themes.

An Update and Upcoming Classes

I'm still looking for jobs and trying to do some freelance work, so new posts are likely to be few and far between for the coming weeks.   I spent this morning making bread and will be scoring and cutting card stock and making leaf prints this afternoon.   I took some time to not exactly scour the Internet to get information on upcoming workshops. Hurry, Hurry! Sign up for these while you can.  They start very soon.  Alisa Burke is holding her Larger than Life one-day class at her Oregon studio on Saturday, October 13, 2012.  Because the class involves working with lots of paint on large canvas substrates, class size is limited to six people.  As of last week, there were two spots open.  Since this class is small and is coming up so, soon, I suggest you contact Alisa immediately to see if you can still get in. Michelle Ward's Synchronicity workshop will be held at Valley Ridge Art Studi...

The Crusades End

Michelle Ward, who writes a column for Somerset Studio , among many other things, has decided to cease doing her monthly crusades at the GPP Street Team blog. Ward coordinated her crusades and encouraged artists to participate and link to their work that they did for each crusade.  There will be no new crusades as Ward takes a self-imposed sabbatical, but the archives  are still available. Michelle obviously put a lot of thought into the crusades.  Each one had a clever name, such as It's a Wrap (about documenting wrapping scraps and tags) or Grid Lock (the many ways grids can be made in an art journal).  I never actually participated in the crusades, but I did learn from them. The crusades were not about showing off so much as about learning by doing. Testing. Thinking about and trying different ways to interpret the prompt. I still make backgrounds using old gift cards after reading about the I...
