I have cookies to share with y’all! I did a little painting and stenciling. I used stencils from some of my favorite artists. P.M. Artist Studio.
I didn’t record these. This was a happy place moment. No pressure, no editing, just art and love. The smell of icing and shortbread cookies is a pleasant one.

This month, I took the index card art to a different level. I made flat cards for the first two months, and this time around, I didn’t want to do so.
I tried to stick with a bit of a grungy spring theme. Flowers, pinks, blues, yellows, and a few other colors.
At first, I didn’t like how it turned out. I got up, cleaned up, and walked away. I came back to add my finishing touches. Some gold…. I feel all my mixed media projects need gold or something related to it….well not my art journal pages.
I also recorded this in a different way. I decided to get a canvas blanket, roll it out, put my yoga mat under it, and created. This video is gonna be a bit of an odd one. I got up so many times. It’s easier to be at my desk creating versus being 3 feet away and unprepared. 🤣
After 2 weeks of training, I’m off until after Christmas. Today is just my first day in and I’m already on a creative cloud. I decided to pull out a random hand full of box flaps that I cut off the main part of food packaging and create.
I used stencils from P.M. Artist Studio. A pair of Mixed Media Queens I’ve been following for about a year or so. One of my most favorite things they make are gelli printed, stenciled, ATC’s. To me, it’s like a decorated cookie.
With my scraps, stencils, paints, alcohol sprays, texture paste, and gelli plate, I created these babies.
Two layers of gelli plate paint and brushed with alcohol sprays
Finished with some inked edges, outlined, and dabbed with gold paint.
The tiny one at the top is my FAVORITE one. It may be an inch and a half by three quarters of an inch.
I really enjoyed making these and I may get out some more scraps to continue.
