<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone! This month it is my turn to be featured on the <a href="http://rileyandcompanyonline.com/">Riley & CO</a> <a href="https://rileyandco.blogspot.com/">blog</a> for the July edition of Designer Highlight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my project, I decided to make a Riley clock! I had a vague idea of what I wanted it to look like but nothing concrete. I even spent some time shopping around for blank clock bases to decorate and then smacked myself for buying something when I could MAKE it instead!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I grabbed some black medium weight chipboard from my stash and started scouring the house for a bowl big enough to make the largest circle possible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb2LEhIjdF8gzJ0qfGF-R4wiLo_ZoqgS7dnq_uLYQNSPtSAHz9mTWMuKiw0UONOA__BRwTIlEgYwhqaKgPPeaUjZgfJyuOs6KlTpKy1VjXCyjLnZHpjd0j04rdi_3_nifO5rzZ4vUmEC8/s1600/Clock+base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb2LEhIjdF8gzJ0qfGF-R4wiLo_ZoqgS7dnq_uLYQNSPtSAHz9mTWMuKiw0UONOA__BRwTIlEgYwhqaKgPPeaUjZgfJyuOs6KlTpKy1VjXCyjLnZHpjd0j04rdi_3_nifO5rzZ4vUmEC8/s400/Clock+base.jpg" width="225" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once I had two bases cut out, I glued them together using scor-tape and wet adhesive. This bad boy isn't coming apart any time soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After I had my bases drying under some heavy books, I started making a clock template out of some "ugly" scrapbook paper. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once I had my circle cut out, I folded it into quarters and googled the angles between hours on a clock. The answer is 30 degrees. So, now I have a clock template. Also, be sure to cut the tip off of your folded up clock so you have a center point hole. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(I tried to be fancy by folding my circle several times thinking that would get the correct angles and I wouldn't have to measure anything....wrong!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once I had my angles figured out, it was time to start decorating! Again, I still didn't have a theme picked out other than "It's 5 O'clock somewhere!" so when my best friend was over cropping she had the idea to make it beach themed. Score! Now I was off and running on a theme. Thanks Theresa!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a theme in mind, I grabbed several Riley stamps and settled on <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/224">Toasting Riley</a>, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/7085">Martini Riley</a>, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/37349">Floating Riley</a>, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/2460">Cheers Riley</a> & <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/8323">It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere!</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After several hours, much fussy cutting and clock mechanism assembly, I have a Riley clock! Isn't is great? I giggle everytime I look at it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am sending this clock to the Head Moose, Tanya soon. Maybe you will see it in the Riley booth in the near future! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had so much fun playing with these dies! I can't wait to share future projects. I definitely recommend watching the assembly videos Karen made for each die set. They are a great way to get ideas and pick up the tips and tricks from the Pop Up master herself!</span></div>

Hiya! Today at the <a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/">Ink Spot blog</a> we have a new challenge. This time our theme was Travel! I immediately knew what I wanted to do, admittedly it was a scraplifted idea from the internet but I really wanted to recreate it!<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/11155">Map Riley</a> and <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/24212">You're Off to Great Places</a>, grabbed my paints, inks, sacrificed a manila file folder, and then I was ready to get busy. Lookie:<br />

Hello! Today at the <a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/">Ink Spot</a> blog we have a new challenge, Share Your Pride. I could have gone in several different directions with this challenge but the idea that stuck with me the most was the fact that I have a couple of ideas that have been made into stamps for Riley & CO. I'm very proud and excited about that! My first stamp is <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/32590">Pro in Procrastinate</a>. Naturally I had to use <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/32031">Smiling Burt</a> and have a little fun.<br />
<br />

I drew the helmet and jersey by hand and cut them out to fit Burt. I think it came out super cute! Burt totally looks ready to put off his tasks. Just like someone who is writing this blog post with 40 mins to spare. Hehe. </div>

Hello everyone! Today at the <a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/">Ink Spot blog</a> it is my turn to host a challenge. I chose Fancy and Fun for the theme. I had seen a tutorial for a Double Diamond Fold card and knew that I wanted an excuse to make one. Two birds, one stone. That's how I roll. :P<br />
<br />
Check it out:<br />

For the Fancy: I allowed myself to use some of my all time favorite pattern paper for the card base and even went a bit crazy making 3d die cut flowers. A new trick for me was to use a magnet to hold the card closed. This made the card easily opened and makes it stand up nicely.</div>

For the Fun: I really liked the idea of juxtaposing a beautiful card with snarky sentiments. Luckily for me, the Funny Bones line is chock full of them. Hehe </div>

I narrowed down my choices to <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/20917">Wondering Midge</a>, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/31995">Happy Birthday Old Friend</a>, and <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/26864">Damn Girl</a>.

It's that time again! Time for a hot off the press<a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/"> Ink Spot Design Team challenge</a>! Our host this week is <a href="http://daiseyfreak.blogspot.com/">Joy </a>and she chose the theme...Masculine. I find masculine projects difficult usually but once I saw this <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/Digital-Stamps/Places-Digital/Harbour-Scene-Digital-Stamp.html">digi</a> from <a href="http://cornishheritagefarms.com/">Cornish Heritage Farms</a>, I knew I had found my muse. Lookie:</div>

See what I mean? The <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/Digital-Stamps/Places-Digital/Harbour-Scene-Digital-Stamp.html">Harbor Scene</a> digital image and Funny Bone sentiment, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/24212">You're off to great places </a>lend themselves well to lots of types of projects. Not just masculine but travel, retirement, graduation, birthday etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I quickly colored this image with Distress Crayons by putting a bit of color directly to the image and then spraying the whole thing with water and smudging it all around. This gave it a vintagey watercolor effect that I really liked. I added some metal embellishments and called this puppy finished.</div>

Today over at the <a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/">Ink Spot blog</a> I'm hosting our newest challenge, HUGS! It was a lot of fun browsing the <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/all_riley_images">Riley catalog</a> choosing which image to use for this challenge. There are so many that would work so well with this theme. I finally settled on <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/193">Sock Monkey and Riley</a> and <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/33209">Exercise Your Arms</a>. I couldn't believe that I had sock monkey paper in my stash! Plus it was in the bright colors that I wanted to use for this card. Score! Check it out:<br />

I'm so pleased with this card that I can't stand it! Not only was I able to use paper that I had been hoarding for years because I love it so much. I also conquered my ability to use yellow and orange. I love those colors but find they are hard to work with for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I was coloring this image I kept thinking that I need to do a Riley coloring video. Believe it or not, I used 6 different Copic colors on Riley alone! Be on the lookout for a coloring video in the near future!</div>

Hello everyone! Today is another <a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/">Ink Spot Design Team Challenge</a>. Our host, <a href="http://craftsandcravings.blogspot.com/">Kendra</a>, chose the theme-April Fool's-something funny. Funny is not hard to do when you've got <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/funny_bones_">Funnybones</a> stamps!<br />
<br />
Check out my card:<br />

You should know by now that I love Burt the Cat. I really do have to restrain myself from using him on every card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went with a more artistic background by using watercolor markers, acrylic paint, glitter medium and ink on watercolor cardstock. I wish you could see the shimmer and shine on this card! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamps used are <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/32031">Smiling Burt</a>, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/27122">You're gonna regret this</a>, both from <a href="http://rileyandcompanyonline.com/">Riley and Company</a> and the <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/Rubber-Stamps/Backgrounders/Netting.html">Netting Backgrounder</a> from <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/">Cornish Heritage Farms</a>.</div>

It's time for a new<a href="http://rileyandco.blogspot.com/"> Ink Spot Design Team challenge</a>! Our host this time is <a href="http://landofstamping.wordpress.com/">Heather</a> and she chose the theme...Green, green, green. I picked some pretty green paper with a pop of blue and I was off! You can never go wrong with <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/searchresults?s=smiling%20burt&ss=smiling%20burt&n=610453">Burt the Cat</a>. In fact, I rarely put him away. He's almost always sitting on my craft table waiting to be inked up again. I then chose an appropriately snarky stamp, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/12288">Sarcasm is...</a>, and set to work. Lookie:<br />

I love that cat. He makes me smile every time I see him. I like to color him differently every time I stamp him. This time I used my Inktense pencils and Copic markers. What do you think? Isn't he just the best?</div>

After battling seasonal allergies the last few weeks, I have finally gotten my latest video up. I apologize for my scratchy voice. Trust me, it's way better than it has been!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I worked on the Mixed Media Morsel technique #8 which is houses. The goal is to make houses out of scrap paper rather than a stamp or stencil. Mixed Media Morsels is a Youtube series hosted by Cat Hand. There is also an active, friendly MMM Facebook group.<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun playing with the Distress Crayons again. The more I use these, the more I like them. Please check out my latest video and watch for my "oops!" at the end of the video<br />

Hello everyone! It's time for a new Ink Spot design team challenge. The theme this time is Mad For Plaid! Use any plaid paper with a <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/">Riley & CO</a> or <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/">Cornish Heritage Farms</a> stamp. I chose <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/8303">Tool Time Riley</a>, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/31993">Two Hands</a> from Funny Bones, and some fun plaid paper and got to work. Lookie:<br />

I enjoyed making this card as it could very easily be made into a masculine card. Every time I get to color Riley, it makes me happy.<br />
<br />

Today I have a new project featuring the hot new product, Distress Crayons! I got my hands on these bad boys yesterday and have been playing ever since. I even made a video. Let me repeat: I made a video! My first one! I'm super excited about it as I never thought that I was the kind of person who could figure out how to make a youtube video and have it look pretty good. Anyway, link after the photo:<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Hello! Today at the </span><a href="http://www.rileyandco.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: start;">Ink Spot blog</a><span style="text-align: start;">, 6 great stamps lines in one fun place, <a href="http://craftsandcravings.blogspot.com/">Kendra </a>challenged the team to make a winter scene.

So I pull out some paper and finally decided on a pretty pink plaid. Which is weird because I'm supposed to be making a winter scene, but the plaid called to me. So, pink plaid and then what? I thought and thought and finally decided to make a pond for Sophie to skate on with some snowy hills in the background. Ah ha! Now that I had an idea and I just needed a fitting sentiment and I was all set. I love the<a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/___new____inspirations_"> Inspirations</a> stamps as they can be used so many ways, which made <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/30518/32035">If it were easy</a>, the natural choice. Look at my cuuuute card!<br />

Hello my lovelies! I hope you are having a sweet Valentine's Day, how ever you celebrate it! For today's card, I'm all about the love. He he. I've had this card in my head for weeks now and I finally got it on to a card. Lookie:<br />

<br />
I've always wanted to use the <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/146">Fireman Riley</a> image and when I saw that sentiment, <a href="http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/inc/sdetail/32586">If you love something</a>, I knew what had to be done!<br />
<br />
I took my time coloring Riley and even went outside of my comfort zone and used kraft cardstock. The final touches were those tiny hearts that are the remainders from a die cut I had stashed away. A little glitter and crystal lacquer and this baby was finished!<br />
<br />
That's it for today. Short and sweet. Get back to snuggling with your loved ones. For me, I'm eagerly awaiting tonight's return of The Walking Dead.<br />

Valentine's Day cardHello everyone! Today at the <a href="http://www.rileyandco.blogspot.com/">Riley and Company blog</a> our challenge was to make non-traditional Valentine's cards.

A box card gives you lots of "wow" factor and lots of room to add some personality. I couldn't decide on just one Riley image to use, so I used 4! Yes, I'm an over-achiever. I also really like coloring Riley so it wasn't too much of a hardship. :P<br />

I chose the theme "You rock!" instead of a traditional "I love you" and added images that I thought would convey the sentiment. Whether your rock star is fixing a broken chair, rocking out on stage or in the living room to Guitar Hero, is your own personal super hero, or someone so awesome that the only way to describe them is "You rock!" this card has you covered.<br />
<br />
I hope I've inspired you to think outside of the Valentine's box and make a card for your special someone. Until next time, keep on rocking!<br />

Welcome to my new blog, Studio Red Art! I had a blog many years ago and it laid fallow for a couple of years due to life and lack of inspiration, so long that almost all of the pictures had been lost on the hosting service and I replaced my computer during that time. So, it was time for a new blog with a new title. Here I am!<br />
<br />
For my first offering, I tried something very new to me. Digital images! I've always been old school and stubbornly clung to my stamps and scrapbook albums. Well, no longer! <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/Digital-Stamps/Mushroom-Lane-Digital/">The Mushroom Lane</a> collection at <a href="http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/">Cornish Heritage Farms</a> is so stinkin' cute that I couldn't resist. After much thinking, researching and trial and error, I figured out the best way to use digital images on a mixed media layout.<br />

<br />
The good, bad and the ugly:<br />
<br />
<u>The Good</u>-print out the image on mixed media cardstock on a <b>laser </b>printer. I used a page from my Dylusions journal that I cut down to 8 x 11. After some playing, re-sizing and adjusting the placement of the original image on the scanner bed, I finally had an image that was ready for use.<br />
<br />
<b>TIP</b>-make sure that the feeder edge of the cardstock has straight corners, not rounded. It won't feed properly otherwise. AMHIK! (Ask me how I know)<br />
<br />
<u>The Bad</u>-image transfer via gel medium on laser printed copy paper. This worked but was a long process that was way too fiddly to get right. I didn't like having to go over the image several times with water or other things to get the paper to come off. Also, I don't have a mirror function on my copier so the image was reversed. Not the end of the world, but annoying.<br />
<br />
<u>The Ugly</u>-image transfer via gel medium on inkjet printed copy paper. I knew inkjet was not the way to go but I had a couple of test images printed and wanted to see what would happen. The inkjet bled because of the gel medium, I knew it would but tried it anyway. Then when I tried to remove the paper, the image bled even more. So, now I know that there is no way I can use image transfer via gel medium and inkjet images.<br />

<br />
I had an image printed and ready to go. How do I make an art journal page with it? Art journaling is messy. Ok, ok I'm messy! The question remained: How do I work with this image and not ruin it while making the background?<br />
<br />
First, I fussy cut a mask. I know, I'm crazy. Just as I finished cutting the mask, it hit me. Masking fluid!!!<br />
<br />
Masking fluid! Simple and effective. Once I had my image covered in masking fluid and dried thoroughly, I was ready to go.<br />
<br />
<b>TIP</b>-use a crummy paint brush to apply the masking fluid or you will spend a ridiculous amount of time picking blobs of masking fluid out of your paintbrush. AMHIK! Or, you can buy one of those fancy masking fluid pens with small tips. If you want to do things the easy way. Whatever.<br />
<br />
Once my image was protected I was free to go to town on the background. Gesso and acrylic paint were flying everywhere! I even got crazy and splattered rubbing alcohol on the background to make my sky more interesting. Just be sure that the paint is still nice and wet for the magic to happen.<br />
<br />
Finally I was ready to tackle that super cute mushroom. I knew I wanted bright and happy colors. I also knew that I didn't want to lose any of the lines on the image. There was only one medium I reached for, Inktense Blocks. If you haven't tried Inktense, you seriously haven't lived. They are a dry ink medium that is activated with water and is permanent when dry. The colors are bright and mostly transparent. Also, a little goes a long, long, long way. I used a wet brush to pick up color and paint my image. Once the first layers were dry, I was free to add more colors as needed. I also used scraps of the same mixed media cardstock to cut out the grass and then use the same Inktense color I had used on the grass in the image to color the cardstock.<br />

<br />
<br />
A quote, some butterflies, my date stamp, a layer of glaze over the whole page to deepen the colors and this page was ready to be glued to my journal. I trimmed down the page just a bit more to make a nice layering piece and adhered it to a page in my journal that I had painted with black chalkboard paint. Done!<br />
<br />
Lookie!<br />
