get your hat on!

the theme for sunday postcard art is "get your hat on" and i made three hat creations in 4 x 6 postcard format, all very different from each other...

this 1st one has a steampunk feel, with images from miles beyond the moon, eena's creations, mr whiskers, dezinaworld, and gecko galz. all except gecko galz background paper (la boheme) are retired mischief circus kit images.

this one might be a future graduation card for my niece who is in a masters program. images are from eena's creations, holliewood studios (retired kits) and woman from designs by aymara.

background paper by gecko galz and the rest of the images are from retired kits by tumblefish studios, holliewood studios, and itKuPiLLi.

hope you had fun in my little wonderland of hats!

love to all.

i love your hat.... x2!

question: what is better than one fabulous hat?
answer: well, two of course.
for week two of the "i love your hat" challenge at the cheerful stamp pad i used a delightful vintage photo from twisted papers as my inspiration.

this image makes me think of my best friend from high school.  though high school was many years ago and we live far apart, we still quite often will buy two of something and send the second item to the other.  thus we still have matching rings and hats and all manner of goodies.  and these little gifts make us remember each other and our friendship with happiness and love.  i can totally see us posing just like these two women in the photo and i believe i will send her this card the next time i have a little treat to share with her!

i hope you'll consider linking up to the challenge.  our challenge sponsor is the wonderful digital image artist rick st dennis and a randomly selected player will get some treats from his shop.

have a wonderful week!  love to all.

i love your hat!

here we go with challenge #69 at the cheerful stamp pad and it is "i love your hat!"  our challenge sponsor is rick st dennis designs.  a randomly selected challenge entrant will get some digital images from our sponsor.  my card features a very well-dressed and fancifully-hatted lady:

i grew up in a tradition in which women often wore elaborate hats to church and as i colored this digi with coloring pencils i was thinking of these charming ladies.  indeed my beloved late grandmother was a talented amateur milliner so hats also make me think of her.  all these thoughts moved me to use my "amazing grace" stamp from silver crow creations.  i also picked a fancy flower embellishment and a complementary butterfly. the background is a bit of card-stock i'd long ago colored with a variety of spray watercolors.

do you like or wear hats?  i do!  do you have any in your stamp or vintage image collections?  then by all means join our challenge!

happy week; love to all.
