Happy Veteran's Day to all of our service men and women! Not just today, but EVERY DAY, I solute YOU and YOUR FAMILIES for your service and many sacrifices.  I am thankful I live in a land where opportunities and available to me daily and I feel protected from harms way from people/nations that do not necessarily agree with our practices.  ::breaks off into song:: :Proud to be an American:: As for my project today, the images I acquired here, are from Google's  free image gallery.  I first began with creating a sheet of handmade paper with the Arnold Grummer Paper Mill Kit.  More supplies and instructions to create awesome paper can be found on the main site here . I also added some gold dust metallic inclusions that shredded quite well and distributed nicely.  Below is a picture of the paper before I turned it into an artist trading card (ATC).   I would also like to add that I did lightly coat the ATC with some matte medium ...

Hi everyone, today I made some petite sized note cards using the Arnold Grummer Gift Card and Envelope template , I just love how tiny they are. I am a big fan of miniature but not so much of my big fumbling fingers so I love how they give you a Fold and Score guide to help you bend those creases for perfect folds! First thing I did was to make my paper ( instructions here ) using the template and then laid out my paper to air dry. Next, I folded them using the guide and glued the edges of the envelopes together using my Helmar Craft glue . I used some small stamps and my markers to embellish them.  I'm going to be giving these away at my art show next weekend as small thank you gifts for everyone attending, so each small card is tucked into small Crystal Clear Card Protectors   along with a pressed flower sticker because we all know, presentation is everything !
