Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Butterflies

Here is my card I made  using sprays and stamps for the background and a butterfly stamp from Frankie for my image. I am entering this in this week's Rainbow Lady's Challenge.

Take a Word - Hats

I made this real paper card for the Take a Word challenge. The background is newspaper sprayed with MoonShadow mists. The swirls have been heat embossed in copper and gold. The hat lady is a stamp from my granddaughter.

I am having a VERY difficult time posting this. The spinning beach ball goes forever between words or phrases. It may be Blogger or it may be something more ominous.

Please enlarge to catch a glimpse of the metallic embossing.

Think Monday Think ATCs - Egg

Here is my Faberge-type egg ATC I have made for TMTA. I used an egg shape template to cut out the egg from some card stock I had sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mists and Starbursts colors. The ATC background was sprayed using other colors of the same product line. I stamped in clear embossing ink and embossed in Obsidian Emerald and Copper embossing powders. Finally I dotted with Stickles. The white ribbon was dyed using the same Moonshadow Mists.

Rainbow Lady - House and Home

I'm a little late with this challenge. Life has been a bit hectic for this old lady. Here is my entry for Rainbow Lady's Challenge of House and Home. If I had time to do it over, I'd curve the word sweet. I don't why I did it this way.      : - <

Art Cards - Water Spritz

Here is my water spritz entry  to this week's Art Cards challenge.

Tag it On - Australia

Here is my tag featuring Australia for Tag it On. I googled the map and eucalyptus leaves. I also googled the emu, made a digital brush from it and combined all this digitally, then printed it out. I used green ribbon and forest green distress ink. The stamped images (sun for hot climate and fan to keep the air moving) with a charcoal distress ink.

Gothic Arches, Art Cards, and Take a Word

On the left is my entry for Gothic Arches (Bedazzled) and for Art Cards (Favorite Stamp). Above is my entry for Take a Word (Angel). The background for the arch was made using Lumiere paints, mica, Stickles and other dazzling paints and materials. I stamped it with clear embossing ink with my favorite flower stamp and heated gold embossing powder on the flower. Sorry the gold doesn't photograph  well on the arch. Please enlarge the photo to see the stamp.

To make the TAW entry I superimposed an angel "stamp" from my digital collection. It is only there in the digital world.

Here is another example of my favorite stamp.

Rainbow Lady 196 - St. Patrick's Day

Here is my card for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - St Patrick's Day and Happy Birthday, Cynthia.

Think Monday Think ATCs - Pens/Nibs

Here is my ATC for the TMTA challenge. I do not own a stamp of the old fashioned pen so I used the stamp I have of modern pens. But just to be sure I am in compliance with the rules, I have hand drawn an old-fashioned pen point.

Take a Word - Green

This is a doodle that I made on a yellow Post-It note. The flowers are actually a lovely orange and yellow combination. I used Photoshop Elements to make everything greener to fit in with the theme for Take a Word Challenge - green.

Art Cards and Rainbow Lady's Challenges

Here is my Viewmaster card for Art Cards Challenge. I have made it in Red, Brown, and Cream colors so I could enter it in Rainbow Lady's Challenge too.

TIO - Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass

Here is my tag for Tag it On, where the theme is Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass. The Alice image is from Dover Publications.

Think Monday Think ATCs - Eyeglasses

Here is my entry for TMTA's challenge this week - eyeglasses.

My background is made from distress inks, stamped with some Stampin' Up stamps, and made into a background for my computer. The old Bible and the eyeglasses are some family treasures. This was assembled on the computer, sized to 2.5x3.5 inches. The scripture is a wise saying from Psalm 119:105. "Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."

I couldn't tell if I had to use a face on my ATC or just glasses. I have this antique pince-nez that I wanted to use for this challenge.

Wales - Rainbow Lady's Challenge

Here is my digital piece on anything Welsh. I don't know what daffodils have to do with Wales, but the Design Team all seemed to use them. My daffodil is a watercolor I did a while back. The scenes are from Hay-on-Wye, a place we visited many years ago. This is my entry for Rainbow Lady's Challenge.
