You are what you eat

This is a real stretch for me, bloggers. All these fruits and veggies came from Dover except for the olives which were googled. The 3 Muses challenge is: You are what you eat.

Tag Tuesday - collage and stickers

Louise wants us to use collage with some stickers on our tags for Tag Tuesday this week. I am using a strip of hearts sticker and some scraps from a book page and some music, all RAK from Rosie of Devon. The other stickers are from the freebies that charities send out.  The frame is from an old card.

TMTA - Bud/Blooms

Here is my Think Monday Think ATC entry for this week. I am using this new calla lily file I received from Stef's Etsy shop as a prize drawing on Jeanette's SoArtful challenge. The girl stamp is one I got from Stubby Stamper. The background is one I made from mica mists.

So Artful - Frame

This gorgeous frame was furnished as our "jumping off point" for the SoArtful challenge this week. The background seemed a natural. I had just gotten it from Art Creations Friday and it sure looked like it matched to me. finding the image for the focus was also pretty easy. I had just found this lovely lass in green as a freebie on Terri's blog and thought how great she'd look in the beautiful frame. 

Thanks, Jeanette, I am thrilled to be the March challenges winner of the prize.

4x4 Friday (Artisans) and ACF background

Using the background supplied by Art Creations Friday, I have made this digital piece also for 4x4 Friday whose theme was Artisans. 

I don't remember where this image came from. It was a black and white sketch. It shows a woman handling a basket of various yarns. I figure anyone who creates with yarn is an artisan.

Garden Pastels

This 2"x4" piece was done with 3 challenges in mind: 

In my garden I see... - Rainbow Lady

Pastels - Colour Create

2x4 size - Theme Thursday

My background was white cardstock that I sprayed and sponged with pastel mica mists. I stamped it with my favorite flower stamp. Then on another piece of white cardstock I stamped the two butterflies and the dragonfly. All three were treated with clear stamp pad and kaleidoscope embossing powder, giving them beautiful shimmery pastel wings. Their antenna are wire and all three are raised on foam dots (thus a few strange shadows).

Spring - Wednesday Stamper

Spring is the theme for Wednesday Stamper this week. I made this piece last night digitally, except for the large flower. So to conform to the Wednesday Stamper requirement of using at least one real stamp, I have printed it out onto glossy photo paper and stamped with my favorite flower stamp. I then colored the flower with my Marvy Le Plume markers.

The background started off with a single group of flowers, an image from Karen's Images. I doubled it, flipped it horizontally and vertically. I then made it into a digital pattern and used it all over for the background. The lovely girl was used for another earlier challenge, but I can't remember whose it was. Can anyone help me remember?

Tag Tuesday - Black and White only

Louise at Tag Tuesday has presented us with quite a challenge today, to use only black and white on our tags.

My tag started as a white watercolor paper onto which I stamped some of my new See D's clear stamps in archival black ink. I also used the same ink for the plastic mesh. The white rectangle with the letter F (for Fly or maybe Faye) was one of the lids (Friday) for my pills containers. Several lids broke so I saved them to see if I could use them. Does anyone else save these strange pieces of junk?

The results look more gray than white, due to the thickness of the lid, but I thought the scrap of lace turned out nicely. Louise, please give us an easier challenge next week. Black and white only is harder to do than I had imagined.
