Welcome to March Inspiration Madness at Jenni Bowlin Studio! This month we've got an all-star line-up of guests to inspire you! Our first guest star is Wendy Vecchi . . .
Wendy says, "The minute I saw these adorable butterflies, I headed to the studio. I had an idea to use the book cover as a mini hanging. The cover got papered with a page from the book, inked to create a distress feeling, stamped, layered & embellished in just a short time. It will hang in my studio and remind me to be FREE and LIVE."
Wendy Vecchi is a full time artist/designer, Exclusive Ranger Demo Artist, Certified Ranger Educator, and a proud design team member for both Maya Road and Tim Holtz Idea-ology. Wendy loves to demo and teach at stores and events across the country and has been published in numerous publications. She was the guest instructor for the Artful Voyage in Mexico with Tim Holtz, in October of 2009. Wendy also has her own signature line of stamps from Stampers Anonymous titled "studio 490" which capture her passion for art with a touch of whimsy. Her style is unique and eclectic with an exceptional attention to detail and a fresh approach to the creative spirit. She released her second idea book called "make art...studio 490 style" @ CHA this winter. She shares her love of techniques on her blog and reminds you that whatever you do each day just – "Make Art!"
I love this, simply adorable - my fave colour combo!!
