moo plus inchie

i'm having fun with small canvases this month.  today i am sharing a "moo" (roughly 1.1 x 2.8 inches) and an inchie (1x1).

my moo is in response to the moo mania challenge blog current challenge to create in black and white.  i cannot recall the source of the black and white image of the woman.  i'll update the post when i can find the collage sheet on my computer!  the rest is simple -- white background and some decorative black border.

the inchie is for the 100 proof press inchie challenge (running until sept 15).  of all the 100 proof stamps i own i could not find anything that was smaller than an inch.  so i used just a portion of a clown stamp from the company.  i covered my inchie base with french script background paper from my stash, used a stencil and spray inks to create the polka dot background, stamped the clown and then bordered it in black ink.

enjoy.  love to all.

green, gold, spring, birds

greetings kind people.  here are two pieces for four challenges...

this tag is for the "birds and bees" challenge at the gecko galz papercrafting facebook page and for the "spring" challenge at take a word challenge blog.  the main image is by gecko galz with washi tape, flower and ribbon added from my stash.  the letter "b" was stamped.

for my card i used both an image and background papers from gecko galz.  i'm entering this piece in the "green and gold" challenge at the gecko galz papercrafting facebook group and also for the "go green" challenge at eclectic ellapu.  the letters on both pieces are stamped from a new acquisition of mine -- clickable symbols and letters stamp set called pegz by mason row.  you can arrange letters and symbols however you want and click them together to stamp your words and phrases.  this is my first time playing with the new sets.

enjoy; love to all.

coffee heaven -- using digital backgrounds

using digital backgrounds is the new two week challenge at the cheerful stamp pad.  our challenge sponsor is coosty creation at stitchy bear digital stamps.  a randomly selected challenge winner will get some goodies from stitchy bear.

i used two digital backgrounds designed by coosty creations -- the coffee beans is one of them and the coffee mug was cut from another.  the word "heaven" was also cut from a coosty creations sentiment digi. my washi tape has the word chocolate on it.  in my view good coffee and good chocolate are heaven.  thus the diving beauty diving right into that great cuppa joe!  the stamp is by silver crow creations.

love to all.
