TMTA - tag

This is my entry for this week's Think Monday Think ATC, where the call was for for a tag to be used. I'm pleased with this one - hope you like it ;o)

DCM -Time

Over at DCM this week.

Hi there, It's me, Kathy, here to dare you this week;
OK, Absolutely anything goes this week as long as it's on the theme of TIME."It's About Time" So you can use clocks, calendars, quotes, sayings, pictures, nursery rhymes, or altered art-type stuff, whatever takes your fancy - just take some time out to play and have some fun; remember, time flies when you're having fun!


Hope you like this, the colours are quite soft and muted without being pastel and it's been hard to show that in the picture. Stamp is Paperbag Studios and is on acetate.

New Inchies

I love inchies as you can tell - sorry the blog seems full of them at the moment! But anyway this was a call for black, white and silver inchies on Zuzu's forum. I am puzzling over some others for an Asian swap just now and these just seemed to appear from the mess on the desk. Stamps are All Night Media.

Weekend

Well it's been a busy craft weekend, BUT, most of the items are gifts for some forum friends so I won't be blogging these until they have been received.

There are a couple of pieces that I want to share just now. These ATCs are for a swap on Zuzu's forum, the theme is architecture. Now I know the top one is a bit cheeky but it is a manmade structure and I like the strong designs we see in wrought iron work.

The top two backgrounds are on a glossy background using alcohol inks and the bottom is on vellum which has been stamped over in a white paisley pattern, unfortunately the camera hasn't picked this up too well.

TMTA - Lovers

This is my first entry for Think Monday-Think ATC. What better way to depict the theme of Love and Lovers than back to the movies. The image has been stamped on brown and beige paper, which was also used for the tag, and her hat and dress picked out in H2Os. Love the theme - thanks for the challenges!

Bathing Beauties

These are a set of Bathing Beauties for a swap that Gillian is hosting. All the images are from art-e-zine and the backgrounds, where decorated, are a mixture of distress inks, alcohol inks and colourbox pigment inks.

Joanne has set the inchie theme of trees for this month. I love trees and have loved the scenery around Scotland this year particularly up around the Trossachs where you can go for miles through the forest on bikes. Anyway I tried to create a dappled sunlight look with acohol inks and then stamped the trees a few times to build up the depth. Hope you like it. The stamps are portions taken from larger ones from Lavinia Stamps
