Paper Minutes

The 3 colors selected for the theme for Paper Minutes are brown, turquoise, and mint. Here is my entry.

White ATC

Think Monday Think ATC has the theme "white" today. This is harder than it looks to make and harder still to photograph or scan! I used white cardstock to emboss the background with a cuttlebug folder. The lower left is a scrap of white lace topped by a white fabric rose. "JOY" was stamped onto white cardstock using glossy acrylic paint and then cut out and glued to the ATC.

Art Cards and KIS

Here is my entry for Art Cards (white gesso) and for Keep it Simple (Joy). The trees and Joy were stamped in alcohol ink onto glossy cardstock. The white gesso was applied with a plastic basting brush onto purple cardstock.

Thanksgiving - Rainbow Lady

Today is the feast day that most Americans look forward to each year. Typical menus include turkey and stuffing, cranberries in many forms, corn pudding, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie. Usually there are so many leftovers we don't have to cook again for several days! 

I put this on my non-challenge blog for today and when I saw Cynthia's challenge on Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog with the theme Thanksgiving I knew I could post it here as well. The foreground image is a clip art I got from somewhere, maybe Dover Publications. The background was done with various digital brushes, some of which are my own invention and some of which came with the Photoshop Elements software.

The Three Muses - Shoes

Here is my digital collage for The Three Muses Challenge.

TMTA - Candle

My ATC for think Monday think ATC this week started as a piece of Christmas ribbon. I added to that a drawing I made of a candle. Noel was added by computer.

Art Cards and Dezinaworld

I have made this for Art Cards (blue and white) and Dezinaworld (favorite era). I really don't have a favorite era and think each has its own lovable qualities. I chose this Dover freebie image. The absurdity of trying to play golf with all those skirts was just too funny to pass up.

Art Creations Friday

My entry for ACF is a posterization of one of my paintings where I have inserted the beautiful little girl reading a book.

I'm trying to get back into art a little today. So much has been happening around here. DH is not well so I am doing more work around the house. Today I must get after the bushels and bushels of leaves on the lawn. Raking leaves is good exercise up to a point. After raking a couple of hours yesterday, I was pretty tired. I may use the leaf blower, but it is so heavy.
