a little birdie

This card is using the sketch at technostamper.blogspot.com
And the colors; orange, blue, and green are for a color challenge
at inkydoodle.blogspot.com
I painted the little birdie and flowers . Cut out the one flower
and used it for a accent on the card.

SALT FAITH CHALLENGE

For this challenge it's with contentment.
To be content with what I have.
But what do I do ?
I'll wine, complain, and envy.
I put this picture of my great niece to put a picture of contentment.
No wining, fussing, crying, just content and happy.
She has all she needs: love , food , shelter
I love these challenges they make me think about my life
,but more importantly they make me think about God in my life.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mojm Monday week 36

This card sketch is from Julee at Poeticartistry.blogspot.com
Started with the turquoise card sanded the edges.
Added the four background panels and zigzaged the edges.
Stamped the image on the turquoise CS, layered and sanded the edges
Put the back panel and layered with a DP stamped the image again on
that DP , so the image runs off the top layer.
Stamped the lower panel with the seashells using a watermark ink
Added brown ribbon to the panel . Clear embossed the sanddollar for an accent, then
added a glossy 3-D accent to the outer part of the sand dollar. Also added the glossy 3-D accent to the lighthouse.
Finally stitched the corners of the image layer.

Used CTMH stamps
Glossy accents by Inkssentials

GONE FISHING

These were a challenge to paint the fishies. But I like how they turned out.
To get the seaweed I used green self-adhesive vellum, it gives a great effect.
I bent wire for the hook.
The worm I painted and then used a clear 3-d paint, not bad.


These fish are caught and mounted.

I like these fishies, I think I'll be painting some more.

I THEE WED

This project I did in memory of my Mom and Dad. Their wedding day photo is slipped into a clear frame. Then mounted to a piece of chip board, which I painted. Mounted the chip board to a base my Dad had made. The crocheted granny square my Mom crocheted, I sewed pearls to the edge of the square. Then painted some rose buds on the chip board. Cut out a painted rose and leaves and pop dot adhered .

This is for a fantistic friday challenge at Inkydoodle.blogspot.com.

FOR THE GRAD

Have some grads in the family, so this goes in the mail soon.
Used gold vellum for the strip and the bottom oval.
Then cut a smaller oval out of navy CS.
Gold embossed the tassel on the oval, and on a seperate navy CS piece gold embossed the cap.
Which I cut out and used a pop dot to adhere.

Simple, I like simple.
