RBLCB & ACF

Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog has autumn foliage as its theme. Art Creations Friday furnished us with this beautiful png image of a couple of red mushrooms.

Starting at the back of my paper collage is my white cardstock. In front of that is a sprayed/misted piece of parchment paper given to me by my friend Laura. On top of Laura's paper is some handmade paper I got at Ollie's discount store. In front of that are my stamped images from Stampin' Up, Hero Arts, and Sarah Beise. The inks are Colorbox, Stampabilities, Rubber Stampede, and Ranger Posh Rainbow inks.

I then scanned the collage and added via Photoshop Elements the mushrooms (ACF), the dark border and the text.

Wednesday Stamper - Hearts

Hearts is the theme of Wednesday Stamper. I have used a white cardstock for the greetings card itself. My layers include blue cardstock, shiny silver frame, lace paper. The heart was cut with the heart punch with the blue heart cut with scissors. The label is a Fiskar template. I do so wish the silver showed better. It was actually black in the scan. I've changed it to gray, but it is really very shiny silver, given to me as a prize by Frankie.




Edit: I have added a second heart post, mostly digital using a background from Kubivet, brushes by Annika von Holdt, and the image from Dover Publications. I have now stamped the heart with a Inkadinkadoo clear stamp so the entry meets the WS guidelines.

The Three Muses - Things with Wings

The Three Muses has as its theme this week: things with wings. The woman's image comes from Nicecrane's Photoplay Magazine covers. The background flowers and butterfly come from Dezinaworld.

Tag Tuesday Orange and Black

Orange and Black is the theme for Tag Tuesday this week. The tag is orange cardstock, stamped with black StaZon. The ribbon is strips of orange gauze. The distressing around the edges is done with metallic russet Lumiere paint.

Paper Minutes - 3 colors

Paper Minutes wants us to use the colors: petrol, blue, and white in our cards or other art work this week. I found the word: petrol in wikipedia saying it means a dark blue-green.  So here is my version of using these three colors.

Dezinaworld - Masculine & Feminine

For the Dezinaworld challenge I  have used a couple of Dezinaworld backgrounds topped by a lovely couple from Dover Publications.

Keep it Simple - Charming

Here is a very simple card I made using my watercolors, a piece of green cardstock folded into a card, and a charm. The charm was the hardest part since I don't normally use them and had a difficult time finding one in my stash.

Other simple cards can be found at Keep it Simple.

Play Date Cafe - light blue, mintish green, and beige

Here is a card I made for Play Date Cafe Challenge, where the theme is the colors: light blue, mintish green, and beige. This is a watercolor I whipped out tonight. I hope the colors are close enough to count.

I noticed that the last post I made, which was for Art Creations Friday, also uses these colors.
