Vera Lane Postcard~Party Time!

Happy Friday!

Earlier today I posted the Visible Image Blog Hop and hope you enjoyed that Hop! The fundraising drive continues at Visible Image for Breast Cancer Care, so please share, scroll down for the Hop or click HERE


I love making postcards! They are a bit bigger than an ATC but still so fun and so not overwhelming. So when I found the Vera Lane Studio Facebook Group and found out she is having a postcard coloring challenge, (of course!) I had to play along! I love her digital stamps, so quirky and fun! U have used them before on some ATCs and had a blast.

Here is what I colored, have a great day!

Check out the digis HERE on Etsy when you have time!

APCC Week 26~Monochrome~Altered Playing Card Challenge

Hello, Happy Sunday!

Today was a fun play day, had a bit of time to make my week 26 altered playing card pair. And I am caught up, yay! Tomorrow brings the last week of the challenge to alter an entire deck of playing cards~none too soon, the following is Spring Break and it is sure to be crazy!

You can see this wonderful challenge hosted by Claudine HERE and there is also a Facebook Group that will carry on. This has been such a fun wonderful journey! Along which I have learned so many techniques that I probably would never have tried before!

This week's theme is Monochrome. It was a challenge for me, I have never played in monochrome much before.

Please click each picture if you would like to see it bigger:)

I used the whimsical birds from Vera Lane Studios, you can see her Etsy shop, HERE

I used some patterned paper over each card. I picked colors that I knew I had similar inks and paints to carry on in the monochrome.

I dabbed acrylic paint through a stencil on each card using a make up triangle sponge.

The sentiment stickers are Tim Holtz Chit Chat, love these! I added a little pen scribble with a Gelly Roll pen and PITT pen.

This was another really fun play and will attempt monochrome again.

Thanks for reading!!

Have a happy week!

"Smile"~Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenege #141 "Girly Stuff"

Tuesday's Treat!

Happy Day to you:)

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I have a small, well by definition ATCs are small! An ATC or Artist Trading Card is just that, a card meant to be traded, it is about the size of a baseball trading card. ATCs measure 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Such a fun size to play with. When your creative mojo goes on holiday, start small and just play. You might be surprised what you make:)

I made this ATC for the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge. The theme this week is Girly Stuff and the fabulous sponsor is Vera Lane Studio. The images are so fun and cute. I finally was able to buy some to play and I am so happy I did! Over the weekend I made some cards for the APC Challenge and had fun coloring these digital images, you can see them HERE

Here is Tuesday's Treat, hope you enjoy it!

The image is Vera Lane Studio, I hand colored it using Sharpies and Bic Mark It markers. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Chit Chat sticker. The flowers I cut from a Time Holtz Tattered Florals die. I colored the petals with Distress Ink, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo.

Thanks so much for looking!

Have a wonderful day!
