Oddball FB challenge - March challenge

Image
It's already time for a new challenge over in the FB group  Oddball Art  and as always it's anything goes with an Oddball image!!!  The image that I used this time is  Image 292 For my make I did a little postcard that I intend on sending to a special little someone!  you can hear all about it in the video that I made. If you didn't check out the video here is the little make that I did.  The base is a recycled cereal box!  Love that I get to recycle for this. I used all sorts of papers from my working table.  There was some sewing patterns as well as some book paper and some delipaper that I had used to cover my table.  The dream sentiment is from a magazine.  I used a little paper that I had punched a bunch of holes in as a stencil and then I doodled with my Faber Castell pen on that. I'm entering this little postcard in the following challenges: 2crafty girls challenges  - Anything goes 4 crafty chicks  - Anything goes dlart-thankful-thursday-challeng

Scribbles Challenges - Song in your heart - Midway point

Image
It's already time for the halfway point for the challenge over at  Scribbles Design challenge .  And our challenge for you this time is about finding inspiration from a song.  I'm using the fab digi  Moon Star .  And my song inspiration is quite old it's Moon River. I'm trying to do all sorts of different things for you so that you are entertained when you check out my blog.  So do do that for this make I decided to use my little book of alphabet.  I printed the digi quite large so the moon totally filled out one of my "M" alphabet page.  I covered the lettering of the book with black pan pastel and I colored the moon using my new Tritone coloring crayons.  I love those because they already color my images differently which means you don't have to do real shading.... you just play. I hope this has inspired you to do something different as well. I'm entering this little book page in the following challenges: Craftin

Hey everyone!!!  Second post of the day.  Always busy here on the 1st of April.  I'm here this time to share with you my make for Delicious Doodles Challenge .

That challenge had me DROOLING.  The image is just PERFECT for steampunk.  I played on a little index card that I had already splashed paint on and you can see the video of the making here And for those of you that don't want to check out the video here is my little make.
