Remembering Jenni Bowlin Studio ~

Hi there!!!
Today I'm sharing a blast from the past, Jenni Bowlin Studio.
This was my favorite paper crafts company back in
the day, around 2009-2013. Do you remember?  I think she was 
ahead of time with her products.  The color palette, vintage ephemera,
clear stamps, inks, punches and scrapbooking papers - all so good!!!!

I'm showcasing stamps from her line to create a couple of vintage
style tags.  The stamps are perfect for the mixed media look!!!

Always loved the labels and silhouette boy and girl.

The word strips are by Tim Holtz/small talk.  Inks are Distress Oxides.

The button is by Jenni too.  She had buttons, chipboard pieces, 
milk caps - the best embellishments.  I still have some!!!

I hope you enjoyed this journey down memory lane.  I still
love her products.  They would fit right in with art journal
pages and the mixed media craze!
Thanks for stopping by.

Mixed Media ~ Background Branches by Blue Knight Stamps, NEW!!!!

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a NEW stamp set by Blue Knight Stamps
that I especially love.  I love creating, adding in a
little something, something for added interest. The set is
called Background Branches. 

Mixing the silhouette branches with a line drawn branch is a fun
look on a card or tag. The background is a mix of Distress Oxide inks.
I heat dry after each color is added. Other stamps added are
Reverse Sentiments, Dictionary Page/BG, and View from my Window
stamp and die(bird).  To complete the tag homespun fabric is added
along with a flower power button.  Last I speckled the tag
with white acrylic paint.
  
Thanks for stopping by!!
I have more to share soon!!!
