True Love


For the challenge at DragonsDream Tag It On and hopefully that at Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog  although the lettering isn't exactly script!

Base card distress-coloured with Brilliance 'Twilight'. Stamps by Elusive Images using Nick Bantock Ink 'Charcoal Grey' and pearls, cord, and tiny heart charm from my stash.

Arthur in Wonderland


For the challenge at Three Muses.

I thought George and Arthur deserved another outing and this is where they chose to appear! As you can see Arthur was keen to wear another dress although George has chosen to have a slightly more masculine outfit.

Beauty is ......


For the challenge at Art Creations Friday.

Done in PSP again.



Time


For two challenges. The background is from the Soartful challenge at ArtFreebies and the lovely lady is from the Artarazzi challenge.

I combined the two in PSP with various filters, many layers and a few brushes. 



Flower Tag


A really simple tag for the challenge at DragonsDream Tag It On.

One stamp (a foam one bought from QVC ages ago make, I think, La Blanche) stamped several times with the ink running out using Versafine 'Majestic Blue' and two toning ribbons.

Friends


For the challenge at Tuesday Taggers which is 'Give it Some Distress!'

I have used Distress inks in 'mustard seed', 'walnut stain', 'tea dye', and 'dusty concord' to create the background and splashed it with water. The image, a stamp also by Tim Holtz, was stamped using Nick Bantock ink in 'Lamp Black' and a little paper piecing done to bring out some parts of the image.

Sunflowers



For the challenges at Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog and at Artarazzi using an original painting by Faye, a googled bee for one of them and various PSP effects and filters for both.



The Big Hat


For the challenge at Art Creations Friday.

I enlarged the hat for the image in the mirror so that when she looks at herself her hat really does look bigger although it's not instantly obvious! Done in PSP.



The face


For the challenge at Dragons Dream Tag It On.

Background done with Moon Glow Spritzes including copper (the shine doesn't show in the photo), stamps by Non Sequitur using Nick Bantock ink in 'Van Dyke Brown' , the edges torn and distressed with Distress Ink  'tea dye' and the whole mounted on copper Alchemy card and then I added some fancy fibre from my stash.
