She Who Stamps & Scraps

Unruly Paper Arts - Sponging

We're kicking off our first ever Reader Art Quest at Unruly Paper Arts using Sponging as the theme.  In case you missed it, UPA is a new blogozine that just launched on April 1st, and I'm really honored to be a Columnist over there.

I've made this ATC using Evergreen Bough Distress Ink, Jet Black Archival Ink, a Crafters Workshop chickenwire stencil, stamps from Paper Artsy, and a bit of black plastic mesh. I adhered the mesh with Tim's Tiny Attacher under the main stamped image, which is raised up on foam tape.

Hope you'll come join us at UPA for the first Reader Art Quest.  Reader submissions of sponged art will be accepted from April 1-15.  Details are on the UPA blog here.

Thanks for the visit!

Time to Get Unruly

Today's the day!  The Unruly Paper Arts blogozine has officially launched.  Like a traditional print magazine, this blogozine will have several columns and lots of great art.  Unlike a print magazine, we will have articles revealed all month long... new stuff almost every day!  We'll also have two challenges (Reader Art Quests) per month, plus lots of tutuorials and spotlights.  

I'm very excited to be one of UPA's Columnists, along with founder/editor Sharon Briss, Jean Franks Beck, Brenda Brown, Lucy Edmonson, Carol Fox, Gerri Herbst, Helene Huber, Laura Lidell, Deborah Powell, Samantha Read, Zoe Sanderson, Debbie Scriven, and Trisha Too. 

In addition to the columns and Reader Art Quests, UPA will showcase Contributing Artists.  We have a call out right now for the next four issues... I bet there's one you might want to answer.

Thanks so much for visiting today.  Please pop over to UPA to see what's going on. You'll also see ways to stay connected such as our Yahoo and Facebook pages.
