Think Monday Think ATCs - Forever

We often use the word "forever" for the stretch of time when we are waiting for something to occur.

This ATC for Think Monday Think ATCs represents my view of forever, eternity, (ewig). To tell the truth, it is impossible to wrap our minds around the idea of the eternal. It's one of those things we take on faith (or don't). I choose to believe in an everlasting God in heaven, even though my mind cannot completely comprehend.

My background is distress inks rubbed on glossy cardstock and over-stamped with the same inks using Stampin' Up stamps. The angel is one my dear friend Laura gave me. It is Inkadinkadoo stamped in StaZon.

Rainbow Lady #178 - Princettia

The theme this week for Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog is to use pink or green and the inspiration picture is of a pink hybrid called Princettia.

I have had pink poincettias before. This, however, is a "horse of a different color," a newly developed flower to raise awareness for the breast cancer cure  cause.

This is a digital card. I have used Dezinaworld backgrounds as well as part of the photo of the Princettia.

Paper Minutes - sketch

Here is my entry for the Paper Minutes challenge. I made everything from double-sided papers so the petals can be bent up to show the undersides.

Think Monday Think ATCs - Black Cat

This is my entry for TMTA (black cats). My ATC background is ordinary cardstock painted with my new artist quality watercolor Hooker's green. On top of that is some handmade Pearlex glitter spray of green and yellow.  Then I rolled the brayer over clear ink pad and inked up one side of a Cuttlebug folder (has birds. I thought the cat needed some fun). When I sprinkled the fine gold embossing powder, it didn't go where I thought it would, but just the opposite. Anyway, here it is. Cat is googled.

Poppies for Remembrance - Rainbow Lady's Challenge

Some of you may have seen my watercolor painting of the single poppy. I gave away the card it was on but I have the image on my computer so I am able to keep using it.

Rainbow Lady's challenge this week is to use  poppies in our work. Check out all the entries to this challenge HERE.

Tonight I finished off another poppy watercolor that I started this afternoon. It is on a 9x12" watercolor paper.  I think I need to add a background to it. You can see the new one HERE.

Pecreativ - When the Leaves Fall

This is my entry for Pecreativ (When the Leaves Fall). My leaf stamps were stamped with clear ink pads and heat embossed with various embossing powders. The background was added last. I sprayed and dabbed on Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonglow color.

Tag it On - Steampunk

Here is my Tag it On entry. The stamps are from Stampin' Up.

Paper Minutes - Blue and White

My entry for Paper Minutes is totally blue and white. The background is the blue and white security liner from an envelope. The ribbon did go straight across but it slipped in the scanner. However, I like it better this way.
