Strawberries

Li'l Redhead is certainly looking forward to ice cream topped with a fat strawberry. I have combined a couple of my watercolors to make this digital piece for the 3 Muses challenge.

TMTA - Ships

Here is my entry for Think Monday Think ATCs where the theme for the week is ships/boats. This is a collage of images on a decorative paper. I have edged with Stampin' Up blue ink.

Li'l Redhead by the Sea

This is my entry for this week's 4x4 Friday Challenge: By the Sea. I am also entering this in Paint Party Friday.

The 3 Muses - doors and windows

My digital 6" square was made using bits and pieces from various artists. The beautiful stained glass window comes from Dover Publications' freebies. The gorgeous background is one from Hermine's Art Creations Friday, a challenge that ended last year. The lovely stone angel is part of a photo that Patty took in San Juan. I added a digi brush I had created from a photo.

I am entering this in the Three Muses challenge.

Paper Minutes

For the Paper Minutes challenge (using acrylic block and distress inks) I am entering this card. I used brick red and worn lipstick pink. I used watercolor pencils and blending pen for the Christmas tree.

My first effort was a total disaster. The colors were fine. I used two greens. However, I failed to spritz enoough water onto the block so the background looked very blotchy and ugly.

Think Monday Think ATCs - garden gate

For TMTA challenge this week the theme is garden gate. I  laid some watercolor paper in puddles of distress inks on my craft sheet. I then printed this gate from Dover freebies onto the inked paper and cut the resulting "art" at the 2.5" X 3.5" size.

I chose the reds, pinks, oranges and greens for the inks I used because they look sort of like flowers and trees in the distance.

So Artful Challenge

The challenge for So Artful is Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry. Just perfect for summertime and ice cream lovers. It has been so long since I've indulged that I have forgotten what one of those little cones looks like. And the spoon looks like it has gone through the garbage disposal. Oh well, I think my colors are pretty good.

Take a Word - Butterfly

To make this digital piece I have used a couple of my watercolors plus a scene through my kitchen window. The window had the glass "sun-catcher" stuck onto it. I am entering this in the Take a Word challenge for this week.
