Thirsty Artist

Ok, I thought the title sounded better than ‘Starving Artist’!  LOL.   This is just a quick post to share a little project I made today.  I honestly needed a break from deadline projects and CHA prep, and I’ve been fascinated with the orange and pink color combo lately, so I took a break and did something for fun.   This is one of those cups you can design yourself with a picture or paper that was sent to me for Christmas by my scrappin’ buddy, Leslie.   I have been waiting for the right thing to inspire me to create something personalized for me. 

I used the included template and traced it onto the back of some sticky-back canvas.  I cut out the shape and just started painting and stamping.  I used some Golden paints as well as some Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints.  I also used Ranger Archival Inks and stamps by Studio 490.  I truly just played in the paints to create this with no rhyme or reason.  I even gave it a top coat of some Cadillac Pink and Pearl Glimmer Mist.   It was a good break for me.

I even added a little photo transfer from some 1930-40’s music magazines I picked up last week at the flea market.   The feature was patriotic music, so this is a picture of Independence Hall.  Again, no reason for adding it except I liked it. 

So, now I’m going to go make a drink and get back to work on some deadline projects due.

Thank you, Leslie for my sippy cup!
