tag tuesday inspiration quote

Don't have a lot of time today (or this week) so here is a quick tag for Louise's challenge today.  I brayered some ink over a manila tag; stamped images and then overstamped the quote; added a border (Mariposa stack) along the top and bottom with some ribbon to finish.

Thanks for looking!

SUNDAY POSTCARD ART PARIS

Here is my postcard for SPA.  Even though I am late, I had to do something this week since Paris is my very favorite theme.  Stamped background, ARTchix images and Cavellini stickers, too!  German scrap along bottom edge.

Go check out all the beautiful postcards at SPA!

blackbirds and trees and miniature art

Here is my entry for three challenges this week:

3 muses, wednesday stamper, and theme thursday.  I have used stamps, letter stickers, ribbon and German scrap on this 3 x 3 inch square.  Edged it all around with a Pilot gold metallic marker. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

kim kesti challenge

This is a card I made using Kim's sketch for her blog challenge.  I used Basic Grey EVA papers; scalloped scissors for the square shape, a stamp from Rubber Stampede inside the square and a sentiment stamp from Eureka.  The large flower is Prima and the jeweled flower is from K & Co.  Some wild plum ink around the edges helps a bit, I think.  I like the way my card turned out using this sketch as inspiration.

sketch tag

Tag Tuesday's challenge this week is to use the sketch Louise provided to make our tag.  This was definitely a challenge for me - the results are not exactly what I had imagined.  Image is from Crafty Individuals.  A bubble wrap background and a few rubber stamps.

MAIL ART

The challenge at 4 x 4 Friday this week is Mail Art.  I have used mostly rubber stamps with an old air mail envelope for the base.  Also found a small vintage envy with the address that I cropped and a plane to denote "airmail".  The private mailing card stamp is from Tin Can Mail; the postmark is from Coronado Island; the wavy lines are Magenta; "post" from Rubber Monger and the gentleman is from Endless Creations. Sponged some tea dye distress ink all over.

favorite letter

Theme Thursday's challenge this week is to use your favorite letter.  I used a mask to create the first background layer with distress inks over it.  Overstamped with a Stampers Anonymous stamp and a border stamp at top and bottom.  Some tiny dots and edges darkened with ink.  I'm not sure where I got the image.  Colored and glittered a grungeboard "a" and added a bit of ribbon at top and then around the a.
