FRIDA

Only recently have I read about Frida Kahlo one of Mexico's most famous artists.  Just in her teens she suffered injuries from a bus accident that would cause health issues her whole life.  She was famous for her self portraits showing the pain she suffered. Her marriage was turbulent at times. Her art was an expression of herself and life.  A beautiful and compassionate woman, she died in 1947 at the young age of 47.  There is so much to learn about the life of Frida, I plan to pick up her biography and read more about Frida the artist soon.

Today I am sharing a card made with the Lost Coast Designs Frida 1 stamp!

 
 
Supplies
Craft Mat
Black ink
Watercolor Paper
 

 
 
On craft mat rub several colors of Gelatos and add water to each color.
Do not wet watercolor paper, on the watercolor paper with paint brush swipe each color of Gelatos as pictured.

Set aside to dry.

Stamp the Lost Coast Designs - Frida1 stamp with black ink on white cardstock, then heat emboss with embossing powder. Fussy cut the image of Frida.

When the card is dry stamp the Lost Coast Designs
Frida1 stamp with black ink.  Adhere bits of  Guilding - Gold Leaf with Glue.

 

Place 3D Foam Adhesive on the back of the fussy cut Frida.

Attach flowers folded in half behind Frida's head and embellish with rhinestones!  

 
This has been a great month for me, I loved creating with each and every stamp I worked with from Lost Coast Designs!

 
THANK YOU LOST COAST DESIGNS
 
Hope you all were inspired by all the projects
 by the
Altered Pages Design Team!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
