Stamped Image expanded

The stamped image challenge at the Art for the Creative Minds Yahoo group brought us a stamped image of a lady’s head in the mail. I used a handful of stamps to stamp onto card and then cut them out and collaged them into a dress for the head. I then scanned her in so I could print her out at a reduced size. I used Tom Bow markers to colour her after laying down some clear glitter glue. The markers coloured the glitter as well so I had matching glitter on her dress.

I also created a smaller size to put on a 5×5 inch card. This one I chose to leave plain except for a few little stick ons.

Template challenge at the Just Art Site

By on 8-02-2015 in Life Book 2015, Mixed Media

A beautiful template helps to create a beautiful page. This template was created by Robyn of Red Dog Designs for the Just Art challenge. My page made the front page of the site for Layout of the Day. I love this photo of the birches which were not more than twigs when we planted them. They were rescue trees that would have been mowed down otherwise. They survived the ice store of 1998 by bending right to the ground without snapping .. amazing trees.

Three Digital Sides challenge at the Just Art site

By on 8-02-2015 in Life Book 2015, Mixed Media

This challenge gave us three parameters … we had to use a duck, the colour yellow and seven items. My duck is a yellow bath ducky, my seven items are the green tiles echoing the Pear’s soap poster and of course my yellow background. I have several of the Pear’s soap posters but this one has to be my favourite. It’s so much fun.

Doodle This challenge on the Just Art site

By on 8-02-2015 in Life Book 2015, Mixed Media

The Doodle This challenge is one I hosted. The blog posting from the Creative Market with the cartoons worked into the images immediately made me think this is something different that would look great on a digital scrapbook site. This is one of two entries I made. The photo is of the Ottawa River. I have always loved this photo but never knew what to do with it. It was waiting for this challenge. The elements belong to Gabbi’s Wonderful Water World. Nessi came from an online colouring book site which I reduced and altered. Poor Nessi, she is sooo lost.
