Tag Tuesday - Spring

Nothing says spring as much as Green, so I made this tag for Tag Tuesday (Spring) with a green resist background and some collage elements. One of them is a scrap of an alcohol inked background I had done. The other is a bunch of flowers I colored with my Marvy markers. I thought "Live" was a good text to use. Everything is coming back to life because winter is over (we hope).

Edit: I just removed that bright green paper from behind the tag and the tag looks so much better now.

TMTA - Movie Scenes

Here is my entry for Think Monday Think ATC. It's my digital collage using Dover images and googling, Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn.

4x4 Friday - Words of Wisdom

My entry for 4x4 Friday has some words of wisdom from the best-loved cowboy of old times (my opinion), John Wayne. He  says: "Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway."

Art Cards Challenge - Writing

The challenge at Art Cards this week is Everything About Writing. I have used the hand and the pen flourished bird from Graphics Fairy.

Mother's Day - Rainbow Lady

Rainbow Lady's Challenge blog theme this week is Mother's Day. That day isn't until May in the States, but really, now, shouldn't every day be mother's day? My image came from Belinda. I think the love shown in the picture says it all.

Doodling

This ATC was doodled while watching/listening to Family Feud on TV tonight. I used my Prismacolor pencils and a very fine black pen. The stamps are the dark green flourishes and the "togetherness". Wednesday Stamper's theme is Doodling, something I make all the time. 

Go Girl Arch Tag w/Swirls

This gothic arch-shaped tag was done for three challenges: Crazy Amigo Challenge (Swirls), Tag Tuesday (arch),, and Created by Hand (You Go Girl).

TMTA - Metal

This week's Think Monday Think ATCs theme is: Metal. We are to use metal in our ATC art. These two ATCs started as beige card stock which I stamped with Archival brown and black inks, using a couple of my hand carved stamps. The metal on them is HVAC metal tape run through a Cuttlebug folder and colored with alcohol inks. The cat was also colored with AI.

Today is International Women's Day. I used two qualities that I think have helped women achieve so much and may not be qualities that anyone else would choose. Both qualities are things I am still, at my advanced age, trying to acquire more of. I do know that being resilient and forgiving have helped me in my almost 53 years of marriage.
