Continuing on with HAPPY stuff...
The box of goodies I received was pure inspiration & I immediately had an idea for a little fall decor...
This was TOTAL fun...
so much so that I can't believe it's not illegal...
I couldn't wait to get started...
and this time I used the flower as the base.
I inked the art parts flower base & connecting tube with vintage photo & then a little forest moss along the edges...
then stamped it with Ranger's jet black archival ink...
Then, I stamped my images ...
By covering both sides of the grunge, the edges are perfect when cut and the images look great when viewed from the back.
that's where "buttons" and "vintage style" came from...
just chopped right off the package.
See the really tiny bingo card?
That's from the bingo card package insert...
I glued it onto grungepaper, to make it stronger, since it will be traveling with me.
(I like the added strength & thickness)
added 2 Jenni vellum butterflies...
almost done...
and had an ah ha (senior) moment...
now they're ready to stick where needed.
So, lets continue with happy...
While you're there...
and I will draw a winner & giveaway some Jenni Bowlin mini papers & MORE...
and for a second chance...
leave a comment on THIS post & I will send someone some mini Jenni papers & an art parts spool, so you can play along...
and be happy too!
We'll randomly draw one winner from each blog @ 7am on Monday morning...
2 comments = 2 chances to win!
hmmm...what else???
they are having a fun STAMP-tember hop...
I'm thinking there will be TONS of fun HAPPY ideas...
be sure to take a look...
just enter...HAPPYDAY
It makes me HAPPY to give away goodies & also to...
make art!
wendy
ps...GO BEARS! Hey...I can dream...

Love your designs! Need some of those art parts so badly! I am with you there with the Bears! Hopefully they were just fooling around in the preseason and did not show their best stuff! The Jenni Bowlin line rocks!
Your "Spool Flowers" are just darling. What a perfect fall bouquet and using the packaging material as part of your art is ingenious and so green! I am heading off to some of the other sites you suggested but, before I go, CONGRATS on being chosen as guest designer for JB blog. No wonder you're HAPPY!

WOW, this is a stunner! I love looking at your creations - so inspiring!
This is so beautiful! I have been seeing a few of these on my travels around blogland, I am new to making art and haven't used grungeboard, is it like thick cardboard?
