DIY: Embossed Foam

I am a follower of several art blogs, one being Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

In one post, she did a tutorial on how to emboss foam.  It looked so creative and fun, I thought I would give it a try. Click here to go to her tutorial and examples she made.  My favorite is the creation of layered foam:

Gorgeous Right?!?!

Now on to my attempt...

Supplies:

Prep Work:

 

Insert DRYING TIME.

Sanded....and Result:

 

 

 

I think my favorite is the stars. The words didn't turn out the greatest but I still found happy moments in each piece. I will probably use them as embellishments or cards for my Project Life.

 

Now if I could only find my textured plates with the bowties and a comb design. :(  My guess is it ran away with the missing bamboo brush into stencil heaven.  So if you were a textured plate, where would you be? And for that matter, a bamboo brush as well?

WILDE and FREE: Tribal Stamps

What do you need to make some tribal stamps?  cardboard & sticky foam stickers.  Easy Peasy. (This was the start of one of the project in Micki Wilde's class.

I happened to have some FALL stickers handy, so I cut them up to make these stamps:



 I painted a piece of paper with random colors and started stamping away.  Who knew ....the stamps look amazing!!

I had an album I wanted to use, so I added the stamps to the cover I created from stencils, and started doodling away with neon paint pens.

Then added the title with various pens giving it a tribal look.

Hope your Monday was WILD & FREE!!
