TGIF - pointy hats

This is a bit on the dark side; but looks better in person!!  I love how these girls are showing off their long hair.  Click on the image to get a closer view!

TAG TUESDAY PINK AND BROWN

While Louise is on a cruise with Tim Holtz (!!!), Nancy Maxwell James is hosting Tag Tuesday.  Her theme is pink and brown.

I used another old flashcard (after all, I have a whole box of them!) and used the tattered rose distress inkpad to color it a light pink over a washing of gesso.  Stamped some polka dots in brown, along with a starburst design.  Faux postage and images are from ARTchix Studio.  Torn scrapbook paper along the bottom. 

Thanks for looking!

ROYAL BIRD ATC'S

Here are my ATC's for the current ARTchix swap which must be mailed by the 15th.  For the background, I used scrapbook paper on which I stamped the flourish and also the small dotted flowers.  Then I added the ARTchix stuff:  birds, border (punched with Martha Stewart punch), crowns and black dot German scrap.  I also applied gold glitter to the crowns and German scrap. 

TAG TUESDAY - Shabby Chic

Here is my entry for Tag Tuesday's challenge this week.

The old flashcard was washed with a brown watercolor crayon and a small Magenta flower stamp was added for the background. Image is from Crafty Connections (Magenta). Added more stamps, faux flowers with gems, ribbon and lace for the trim and tied with same ribbon. The background of this image is not as yellow as this scan shows it to be : (

Thanks for stopping by!

CITY-MAPS

I am combining two challenges today - TMTA's challenge is cities and Mixed Media Monday's challenge is maps.

Paris is my favorite city, even though I have never been. Some day, I may!

Thanks for visiting!

SUNDAY POSTCARD-SKULLS-SKELETONS

Here is my entry for the Sunday Postcard challenge - skulls and skeletons. I used an old flashcard which I covered with gesso and then painted with watercolor crayon after the gesso dried. Stamped some diamonds across that for the background. Added collage images and a transparency (all from ARTchix Studio). Attached this to a black postcard-sized cardstock and added some silver metallic dots along the sides. This was a fun challenge!

Thanks for looking!

TGIF - white

Here is my entry for this week's Thank God It's Friday challenge. The doll image is from ARTchix, as is the white German scrap trim. The little white pearls are from Hero Arts - although they don't look white in the scan. Silver heart embellishment from JoAnn's.

Glad you stopped by!
