<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I have the honor of guest designing with the talented design team at <a href="http://www.vintagejourney.com/2018/05/rusty-and-crusty-winners-and-pinworthies.html" target="_blank">A Vintage Journey</a>. The May challenge theme is all about <i><b>Words and Music</b></i>. If you'd like to join along, you are asked to that are inspired by a favourite song, or that incorporate musical lyrics, sheet music, or musical signs and symbols in their design.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">I'm so proud of Angie who will be graduating from the university in May. Angie has been competing on the international circuit for many years. During the 2017 season, Angie qualified 3rd at the world competition in China which has earned her a place on the US Cycling Freestyle Biking team. One of her biking goals is to qualify for the 2020 Olympics representing Team USA in Tokyo. If you'd like to see more of Angie, please feel free to visit her FB page here: </span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">https://www.facebook.com/angiemarinobmx/ :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Hi! Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas featuring a variety of fun techniques including stamping, stenciling and dripped candle wax which was a first for me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Up close, you can see the dripped wax in various places such as on the butterfly wings and randomly on the metallic embellishments. </span>I was inspired to give the dripped candle wax by the <a href="http://stampsandstencils.blogspot.com/2018/03/wax-lyrical.html" target="_blank">Stamps and Stencils challenge: wax lyrical</a>:</span><br />

I created a thank you card featuring pretty butterflies from the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/pti-dies/papertrey-ink-butterfly-die/" target="_blank">PTI Butterfly Dreams</a> stamp set:<br />

I stamped the background with one of the smaller stamps in the set then embellished with a layered die cut / stamped larger butterfly. It doesn't matter to me if this set is being retired, I'll continue to create cards with it :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi! Today I have two different types of art projects to share. First up is a mixed media style small 4" x 6" canvas featuring a couple of die cut tree silhouettes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I combined many techniques and products to create this smaller project including die cuts, acrylic paints, stamps, micro beads, glass glitter, tissue paper and for the most fun step, I melted several layers of thick embossing enamel on top and sprinkled in some glass glitter and micro beads:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I created a Valentine's day card for my dear daughter Angie featuring a combination of the following types of papers: a page removed from a dictionary for the background, pink mulberry paper, vellum paper for the embossed layer of the butterfly as well as "regular" cardstock. The butterfly was stamped using one of the pretty images from the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/life-is-beautiful-stamp-set/" target="_blank">PTI Life is Beautiful stamp set</a> and the sentiment is from the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/boutique-borders-love-mini-stamp-set/" target="_blank">PTI Boutique Borders: Love Mini stamp set.</a></span><br />
