Here at Arty Divas we are proud to have Angela Fretwell join our lovely team. 

Please join me in welcoming Angela! 






I am married with grown children - we are now empty nesters and live in Queensland, Australia. I enjoy all paper crafts and have for many years.
I love the freedom of crafting and often can be found in my craft room working on projects and losing track of time. After all these years I am still trying to find my style and best medium to use. I have fallen in love with making junk journals and using them for my art. I love steampunk, vintage, unicorns and all things Wonderland. Basically I just love to create.

Mid challenge design - by Zowie Dixon

  









Hello everyone, today our featured mid-challenge design is from myself, Zowie.









I have created a vintage card using this beautiful bird image, which I also altered by using a text stamp along with black soot distress ink. 












Here I have added some gold leaf flakes along with cosmic shimmer acrylic glue. I found this glue to be the best to use. I dusted the excess flakes off with a soft paint brush. 

I have also adhered a Grunge number label behind the bird image. 










This beautiful paper is from Pink Monarch Prints.
The vintage music sheet is from My Porch Prints.
 


For more details on how I created my tag please visit my Blog
