Flight

 Greetings,

I love to use bits on my cards especially if they are free or from used objects. The embossed steampunkish background is made from a Diet coke can, which I cleaned and flattened and stuck on a bit of cardboard packaging which had be painted with gesso and sprayed.


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Less is more - use metal
left of center- recycling
Artful times - anything goes, sadly the last challenge

Freedom



Greetings,

If you are in the UK then mentioning voting may induce yawns, however I was thinking about how many people are not able to vote either at all or without fear of reprisal, I thought about all those women who campaigned for the right to vote.
So here are my freedom themed pieces, I used the wonderful Visible image revolution stamps over sprayed backgrounds.


and finally no matter who it is for ...

Lost coast Frida stamped on patterned paper which was torn out using a metal ruler and stuck on a kraft card, leaving dust trails it was so speedy.

Finnabair- steampunk stain glass window



Greeting my gorgeous guests,

The artful times blog has a wonderful challenge to use a bit of the wonderful Finnabair in a piece. This is what I came up with, the stamp is Finnabair, I then used watch parts to add interest and texture.

I really enjoyed playing with the cardboard surround, which was stamped, stenciled and ripped. This really reminds me of a stain glass window, steampunk style.

Morning,

here is my entry to the current Less is more challenge which is one layer with an animal. I have used Dylusion sprays and the revolution stamp set by Visible image.

Here are more flowers as I am missing Spring and Summer.
