THANKFUL for ART PARTS!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The challenge at the EWV Yahoo Group is using ART PARTS in an autumn/Thanksgiving theme.

I was in charge of desserts for the meal today, so after they were done, I had a little time to start the project, and just finished it, oh, about a half hour ago after we got home....

 My picture taking abilities seem to be getting worse instead of better.  Here's another angle...

So, details you say...

I used an art part base, residence, rectangle frame and leaf stem (the one on the left).

The base is covered with the recipe paper from Tim's seasonal paper stack, which I then stamped and sprayed with sunflower perfect pearls.

All the leaves were treated with Gold paint dabber, I pounced it on for texture, then swiped it with coffee archival to tone it down a bit.

All the stamping was done with Studio 490 stamps...OF course.

The roses...well, I decided to go with glassine paper, and used the alcohol ink tech on them that Wendy featured in a video on her blog...HERE....I used Gold and Copper AI mixative, Currant and Terra Cotta AI's. After I had inked the paper, I crumpled it up, flattened it out and swiped some Walnut Stain Distress Ink all over it, then cut out my flowers.

The Art Parts take Distress Stain like a dream.....that's what I used on the house. 

And, I went a little nuts with my Brown Viva Pearl Pen, but it's so fun, I couldn't stop. LOL!

Oh yes, in the window of the house, a SEASONAL SALVAGE STICKER from the Timinator, as is the AUTUMN on the bottom.

I haven't decided if I'm going to hang it, or frame it....hence, the unfinished look. 

Hope you had a great holiday, always good to get together with friends and family!

Thanks for stopping by!
