OSAAT - ANYTHING GOES USING PURPLE

PRIZE:  January 5 Image Pack


Flourishes are my favourite of the abstracts.  Whether they are in stencils, stamps, digis or doodles.  When I saw this at Kaz Krafts, it was a sure bet.

You can find Kaz Krafts through Stitchy's, along with some other great artists.


Get your PURPLE ON and I'll see you there!




My mommy gave me some of the flowers she and her sister used in their crafts when in Florida, when they entered Craft Fairs - actually boxes and boxes of them.  I've been having lots of fun putting them to use.  If you have issues attaching plastic stems to any of your acrylic work, the best product I have found is the silver shiny furnace tape.  Almost impossible to remove!

I've used a combo of chalks, and copics.  Very fun to go over the chalks with the copics and discover the colors they become.  I have also used those things that I had as a child - those blow pens.  They are great for spitter spattering color all over!  And very economical too.

Oh, did I tell you I want a Spirograph?




I edged the paper with washi, after I ran light purple Stampin' Up! paper through the copier (with the image printing on it.)  From that point, I had to use my purple dollar store 3 D gorgeous flutterbyes.  They come in teal (like the color I just dyed a strand of my hair lol) and purple.  I am in love with them and fortunately they fit the challenge, Anything Goes with Purple.  And of course, the flourish digi is from Kaz Krafts found over at Stitchy's Crib.




I am setting up most of my art these days on acrylic frames, "just because I can."  They are a really nice way to show off what has been made as I am not a fan of making cards (they seem to just go under the shelf in one of those ginormous containers you get at Walmart for Crimbo - thanks Ike for that great word - decorations) so I have taken to putting my art upwards where I can enjoy it for a while, then disassemble it and recycle the bits and pieces for future projects.

This is what a not "know a gazillion peeps" or "have a gazillion dollars" person figures out to do after crafting and making cards and shit for 25 years!!!

So that is it!

Countryview - Use something new (stamps)

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - A SKETCH


JE SUIS CHARLIE
(is the dedication of my art design
using Ike's Rabbi)
...as Daniel Pearl (the murdered Wall Street Journal Reporter) wife Mariane Pearl, the reporter's widow, who wrote a moving memoir about his death, A Mighty Heart, said "I will never give a Terrorist a moment of joy of seeing me cry or mourn that they tortured and murdered Daniel. They will only witness me in laughter and happiness.  This is what Daniel would have wanted too - that they see no reward on my face or in my life to their cowardly acts. Only that they be brought to Justice.  That way they never win."

    IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGES

    THEME:  Something Old - Something New
    DIGI:  Troll, Male Pin Up, Devil Cupid
    PRIZE:  Ike's Store Coupon


    Hiddyho!  I am back to arting.  It is good to be back.  Today I've used a pack from The Scrap Girls and also 3 of Ike's wonderful digis to create the theme of Something Old, Something New.

     Hmmm Do you really think Mr. Troll had a bod like Male Pin Up when he was a dude. Unlikely but hey, we all age in different ways!!!

     Hop on over to Ike's Store and check out her great digis to use in the Challenge, hop over to Ike's World Challenge to use Ike's freebie and for sure, take a look at Ike's blog.  You will see what a wonderful inventive artist she is, as well as the creator of our digi's in her store.

     I hope to see you at Ike's World Challenge...you have two weeks to play and to have a chance at a great coupon for Ike's Store.

     Happy Tuesday!
    Samara
