rolodex file card art

 on sunday besides making a father's day card i made a couple more rolodex file card collages and a birthday card. i used scraps off of my working counter to make these.

• overpainted scrap
• music paper
• book paper
• strip from a playing card
• tape

 this file card i did use acrylic paint on the background- gesso and a light blue.

• overpainted scrap
• book paper
• sewing
• cereal bag (right hand side; clear bag)
• stamping
• washi tape
• pen doodles

 our youngest son needed a birthday card- so this skilled, crafty mom whipped one up! i used a bingo card and selected one with the appropriate number of years (15). i used a circle stamp to circle that number and gesso to lightly cover the rest. i also used:

• green acrylic
• overpainted scrap
• diamond stencil
• sewing
• letter stamps and circle squiggle stamp from mixed media essentials
