Take a Word - Oriental

I'm late with this one.  My PT keeps getting in the way!  I used Inkadinkado clear stamps and a beautiful image from Picture Palace.  Thanks for stopping by!

Bannerman Boys

I was reading an article in the current Somerset Studios and thought I'd try creating something similar with a black background and ephemera.  The ephemera comes from CollageVisions.  The main image I have had for a bit, can't recall where it's from.  I stamped on tracing paper with a script stamp using sepia ink and attached it with Golden's fluid medium.  Tracing paper acts just like vellum and rolls and crinkles.  I tried a second piece using the glue stick and had better luck with it.  So, here's the end result...The Bannerman Boys.

Take a Word - Chocolate

I love the challenges at Take a Word!  And I am absolutely tickled pink to be the guest artist this week with my 4x4 about chocolate.  Now, who doesn't love chocolate, either milk or dark?  So, I can't wait to see the wonderful art that will be created.  And by the way, I'm sure you know that chocolate is perfectly acceptable to eat...after all, it is a vegetable!  And Happy Mother's Day to you, too, I hope you got a little bit of chocolate today! 

Take a Word - Exposed

Talk about a great challenge..."exposed".  Where do you go with that?  You go with your muse.  I googled an image of the moon.  I had this great image of a young woman from Picture Palace.  So, I stamped and embossed music notes, writing and a scroll stamp.  I sprayed the water with Tattered Angels and added a little patina stickles. "Her dreams were exposed by the light of the moon".  Hope you like this one!

Theme Thursday - Vintage

Hi! I used a chipboard frame from Retro Art Cafe and images, as well.

Take a Word - Memories

Here's a skinny a made for this challenge...I thought she'd make a beautiful grandmother...one of my favorite memories of my gram is this wonderful button box she kept in a drawer in her old Singer sewing machine.  There were all sizes and colors of buttons, and quite a lot of renegade threads.  I loved to watch her sew and embroider her linens.  I still have a few dresser scarves she made, they're my treasures!  Thanks for stopping by!

SPA = Easter

It's Easter!  The dogwoods, azalea, tulips and crocus are very busy blooming around here.  The trees are unfurling their green leaves and we're mowing the grass at least twice a week and in a planting frenzy!  So, here's to a glorious Easter and a lovely spring!  Hope you like my card.
