Introducing guest artist...Cindy Borcherding!!

Grab a cup of coffee & take a few minutes to look @ these beauties created by Cindy. She was the winner of the LAYERS book, which was written by my friend Shari Carroll. Cindy took my Ranger distress ink techniques class @ For Keeps Sake, in St. Louis, Missouri last month. You'll see that she used techniques she learned in that class & combined them with the inspiration she got from Shari's book, to created some totally cool tag art.

You're in for a treat...

Here's the cute note that Cindy sent...

I received my book on Saturday and it's WONDERFUL!!!!! I was feelin' a serious urge to CREATE yesterday after lookin' through my new book and I am so, so happy with the tags I made that I wanted to share with you because I used all of the AWESOME techniques that YOU taught me as well as applying the 'layers' concept. The best part? I just had so much FUN playing with the techniques and layering and painting and getting down and dirty!!

This is the first tag that she created for her hubby... to celebrate their 12th anniversary. I LOVE it!



This is really cool too. She used the "weathered wood" technique, developed by t!m.

Here you'll notice my favorite "spritz & flick" technique, also developed by t!m. She combined it with some grungeboard (layering) for 2 tags that look great.


More layering... the tag on the right uses another technique called "distress ink wrinkled'. Spritz & flick is on the left. I think she likes that technique too!



Thanks so much for the inspiration Cindy! Take a bow for a job well done!

Have a wonderful ARTY weekend!!!
