More Traci Bautista inspired work . . .
Taking Traci Bautista's workshop really re-charged my muse . . . I took out my acrylic paints to make this ATC and card for a yahoo group I'm in . . . after I used 2-3 colors in the background . . . I used a wide angle plastic palette knife with a bit of paint . . . a plastic putty knife would work just as well . . . . I bought a set of three at WalMart for about $2 . . . pushed it down into the painting surface and lifted it straight up to get a nice texture on it . . . I repeated it in several places . . . The images are all A Stamp in the Hand stamped in black pigment ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder . . .
My second piece is a xeroxed color copy of a Traci Bautista inspired background I did with acrylic paint . . . I added Liquitex Acrylic Glaze Medium and Golden Soft Gel Gloss to add dimension to the background . . . The image is from The Stampsmith . . . if you ask Estelle . . . Estelle@stampsmith.net . . . she'll email you her AWESOME movie star images she has available in rubber . . . I made my Audrey Hepburn image into a packing tape transfer, adhered it to the card . . . then beaded the edge . . . It's so much fun to get back to acrylic paints!

Hey Michi - Once again, you've out-done yourself! You must have had a great - not to mention inspirational - time at Traci's workshop. She is so cool - I love her style!
You did s terrific job emulating her style, while at the same time making the pieces yours. I love everything you did and would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite. Fantastic job - I'm glad you shared your awesome eye candy. Then again, I always love looking at what your incredibly talented creative spirit has come up with. Your stuff always lights a fire under my muse...who tends to be quite lazy until she sees something really creative and fun! xx
I wish I was retired so that I could play as much as you do!!! Your work is both amazing and inspiring!! Miss ya chickie!! Hisses, Rockin Robin
Michi, these are gorgeous... makes me want to get my paints out right now :-))
Michi - love all your Traci Bautista inspired pages! I have her DVD and love it!!! Her style is a lot of fun! And I see you got to take a workshop with Tim, you lucky!!! I love his stuff!!! Marva
Very nice, Michi. You do very well with the mixed media/acrylic. Love both of these. I have to say the Audrey Hepburn seems magic - almost as if she were here. The colors are great and do I see some beading on the side????
