Artist Betty


Hello All,

I am still playing with my DTg stamps for Sugar Nellie....this little sweetie is Artist Betty by Kathy Hare available here

My first creation I have used quite a few of my goodies from my little shopping spree in Glasgow. The tag and papers are "echo park paper co - be mine" although I have to laugh at myself.....the papers are so nice I don't want to waste them...so most of this card has been made out of the packaging!! LOL!!!......I have used my little Kanban Flourish stamp with "Memento - rose red"......added some stitching with some glittery pink thread (also a purchase from Glasgow).....and a tiny scrap of velvet ribbon and a few pearls.

This is my entry for:

Totally Papercrafts - Add a Heart

I also thought this image would be really cute for a little art book.....I am not quite sure of this creation.....I have made this for a friend as I would really like to get her started art journaling, as she does have a really creative side....and she also finds writing out her feelings to be therapeutic for her....I realise this is a bit on the cute side for an art journal, but she does adore all things cute, so I think it will work.

I have made this book totally from scrap card and paper.....despite the fact this is now the 3rd book I have done like this...my scrap box doesn't seem any lighter!!......the books get smaller each time as I have used most of my Large Scraps!! LOL

As Well as using Artist Betty, I have borrowed the art picture from the Simply Sassy - Artistic Goddess....they have been coloured with copics...for the lettering I have used some "K&CO" stickers......... I just added loads of ribbon down the spine and attached a little shrinky...( I am quite addicted to the whole shrinky thing at the mo)


Thanks for Looking
Hugs Juls

    What are we like us crafters?.....buy this gorgeous stuff and then can't bring ourselves to use it!!! LOL
    Gorgeous card and I don't see why an art journal can't be cute if that is the sort of art you like...I'm sure she will love it :)

    Oh these are two fabulous designs Juls. I know what you mean about those EP papers as I've recently bought them. I might get round to using them next year! I love the book too and if the person that you made this for loves cute as you say, then I think it would be just about perfect. Whatever she should feel flattered to receive such inspiration from you. keeleyxx
