Art Creations Friday

Art Creations Friday has furnished us with a lovely little girl image to work with. The piece is entitled "take a break". My little girl is taking a break from walking by riding atop her dog's back. This is a digital picture with the background, the dog, and the flowers taken from Dover publications freebies.

Theme Thursday - Paris

For the Theme Thursday challenge this week we are thinking Paris.  My granddaughter and I decided we would work up a couple of entries for the Paris challenge. She chose the more traditional scenes; I chose fashion. The shiny rayed circle is from Patty. Thanks, Patty.

Polka Dots and Stripes - Tag Tuesday

Polka dots and stripes is the theme for Tag Tuesday. My background was made by spraying hairspray, water and a couple of PearlEx powders on my craft sheet and laying the tag onto it. When it was dried I rolled some dots onto it and drew the stripes to match. Some Moon Glow glitz spritz and some collage materials and here it is! I thought that little girl was just too cute to pass up with her dotted swimsuit.

Crazy Amigo - Brand New Start

A Brand New Start is the theme for Crazy Amigo challenge this week. In this card that I made tonight is a teddy bear being patched up and given a brand new start.

The background started as a transfer from my large piece of  Sheer Heaven™ but the color was so pink I had to add some other colors to it. By the time I had added a few dulling colors, the poor background paper was getting really warped. At this point I just decided to wad it up and hit the ridges with gold wax. The little girl in the oval is a Stampin' Up  stamp my sister gave me. I painted the image with watercolor pencils.

See my other blog for explanation about Sheer Heaven paper.

Top Hat and Tails

Top Hat and Tails is the theme for Sunday Postcard. Postcards are 4"x6" pieces of art. This whimsical entry is made from a photo from my backyard taken in 2009. The baby is my mother and that photo was taken in 1909. Isn't digital art amazing? The hat was from Google.

Sketch Saturday

Here is my entry for Sketch Saturday. The images except for the little girl are from Dover Publications. The little girl stamp is one I got from Stubby Stampers.

I posted another entry on my other blog.

Theme Thursday - Flying

Theme Thursday's challenge is to use something that flies in our art this week. I have done a digital piece using a Dover background, where the color has been changed and a Dover picture that I have greatly altered with Photoshop Elements.
