Enchanted

I liked that little girl in pink so much that I have used her again. This time she is the focus of my "enchanted" entry for Mixed Media challenge.

The girl and her background are from Dover Publications. The background is a Monet painting.
The quote is from Elizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985), author of "A Southern Garden."

Optimistically Pink

I hope this has enough pink in it to qualify for the theme that One Stop has set: Optimistically Pink. My images came from Dover Publications freebies.

Art Cards Challenge - Wax

I hope this qualifies for Art Cards Challenge: Wax. I crumpled up some waxed paper onto a card stock and pressed it with a hot iron. Then I sprayed with purple, rose, and blue home made mica mists. The bird is a See D's clear stamp.

4x4 Friday - Mantra

Mantra: originally from Buddhism and Hinduism, but now is also used as a statement or slogan repeated frequently.

Being Christian, rather than Buddhist or Hindu, I have to go with the second idea, that of a slogan repeated frequently. I can't think of any other word that would do better as a slogan than "love".

The background is one that I created using home made glimmer sprays and mists. The image is part of "The Soul of a Rose" by John William Waterhouse and is taken from Dover Publications freebies collection.

Rainbow Lady - Unusual Materials

Rainbow Lady's Challenge this week is to produce art by stamping on unusual materials. I just this week picked up a couple of paint chips from the home improvement store. These were two colors on each card and were showing paint colors for cedar shakes or shingles. Here is one of the cards that I stamped and embossed in white using See D's clear stamps.

Theme Thursday - Flourish

For my entry to Theme Thursday's challenge of Flourish, I used one of the resist backgrounds I made this week. I had scanned it to the computer so the rest of the ATC was made digitally. The fashionable lady and the newspaper came from DezinaWorld. The butterflies are from a digital stamp I had made from a picture of a monarch butterfly.

Insects - Things with Wings

This looked like a perfect opportunity to create a 2-in-1 entry to challenges.

Crazy Amigo Challenge's theme is Insects; Created by Hand Challenge's theme is Things that Fly.

My background is a shirt board that I sprayed with some homemade mica mists and some of the Moon Glow mists. 

Mixed Media Monday - Giggles

My lovely sister is laughing at her giggling granddaughter in the super-sized mortar board at the gd's graduation party. My background is one I made from my glimmer mists and a little gesso. I used two photos for this plus some digital brushes to finish it off. Mixed Media Monday has as its theme: giggles/laughter.
