crowns

moo mania time again -- little 1.2 x 2.8 creations.  the theme at moo mania challenge blog is crowns.  you actually don't have to make a proper moo to participate, you just have to create on the theme with any art form -- tag, card, canvas, whatever.  but i always try to make a moo.

this is a little wacky looking i know -- i somehow moved the moo base and ended up stamping the owl a little more off center than i'd intended.  but you know, go with the flow.  i worked around the "error."  i like putting crowns on things so i may play again on this theme and have the chance to do a bit better...

background paper by gecko galz.  owl stamp by rubber soul.  border stamp by rubber moon.  crown by lunagirl.

enjoy; love to all!

altered card deck week 9 (+alphastamps again!)

here are my week 9 altered cards for the card deck challenge at claudine's art corner -- if i get another pair finished this weekend i think i'll only be 5 weeks behind (lol!).

for the flowers and owl card i started with a background of spray inks.  i then used flower stamps from a "gela-tins" set and enhanced them with promarkers and molotow pens.  the stems are washi tape.  the owl stamp is by rubber soul, i stamped it on primavera paper by itKuPiLLi and fussy cut it to add to the card.  i hand wrote the sentiment on the same primavera paper and finished this one with some matching ric rac.

i did a light coat of watercolor paint on the background for the second card and then used a stencil and ink applied with a sponge.  i added torn tissue tape, a rose die cut which i'd outlined with white pen.  the vintage image is from one of the goddess collage sheets by lunagirl. the lace border is from alphastamps.  the "memories" sticker is from a tim holtz set.

speaking of alphastamps, this is day three of:
