Stamps Used:

• 40001 J Scallop background
• 42009 I Large Latin text
• 54006 F Baroque square

The transfer is from Tuscan Rose CD #2.  She was named "photo sepia toned angel".   I painted the background a bright green.  Then stamped the scallop background in the upper corners.  I covered this with tissue paper to diffuse the stamping.  It doesn't really show.  I tinted the tissue paper with a matte medium and a bit of green.  I stamped the Latin text background with a pale yellow paint.

Stamps Used:

• 13019 B Dancing clown
• 33011 B Check square
• 34009 F Diamond border

The original clown picture is black and white.  I tinted her with matte medium tinted with a small amount of paint.  The antique circus poster was printed from the internet. 

Stamps Used:

• 50008 A Long stem
• 52001 J Baroque background

The transfer is from Tuscan Rose CD #3.  I used Omni Gel on the color copy for the transfer process as I didn't want any part of the transfer to rub off.  I wanted a perfect transfer.

Stamps Used:

• 12020 A Small birds
• 46004 J Giant moth

I used the colors from exercise #45 from the color exercises for the background.  This included Cerulean blue, Burnt Sienna, Titan Buff and Zinc white.

I participated in an ATC tarot swap in which the theme  was a "character in literature."  I chose Pei from "Women of the Silk" by Gail Tsukiyama.  I found this great picture of silk workers on the internet as my starting place. The colors from exercise #45 matched the blues and browns in the picture.  I transferred the lady.  I stamped the bird and moths stamps and painted with a wipe out tool. The silk lace paper added to the theme as did the dictionary page for the word "sisters".

Stamps Used:

• 44007 G Mounts of hand
• 50006 G Bold square

I used the colors from exercise #46 from the color exercises for the background.  This included Phthalo Blue, Burnt Sienna  and Titan Buff.

I started with a picture from the new Tuscan Rose CD #2 as my inspiration. The colors from exercise #46 matched the turquoise necklace the woman is wearing so well.  I first glued down a page from a book of poetry to the painted background.  Then I transferred the lady.  I stamped the hand stamp and painted it with titan buff paint and a wipe out tool. The bold square was stamped with acrylic paint, not ink.
