Arty Girlz - Travel/Places


This week the theme at Arty Girlz is :

This week's challenge is 'TRAVEL/PLACES' ~ Thank you to Nancy who gave us the idea for this challenge as she suggested Asia/Africa". Thank you girlz for using my suggestion.


I have chosen to Travel to Africa. My background paper has Giraffes on it, I love Giraffes- enough so that I have a mother and baby tattooed on my arm. All the other images are from Altered Pages. I have added Distressed Ink in Shabby Shutters and Tea Dyed. For the fibers on the bottom I took three shades of twine and braided them into a ribbon. I added a bit of glitter pen in silver above the ribbon and Glaze pens in black and blue around the Giraffe picture and the map. You can see it better if you click on the picture. Thanks for looking.

This week at Arty Girlz the theme is to us something that is 3-D.

This card is for my DH mother I needed dimensional things on the card as she is legally blind. The background paper is from Fancy Pants - Imagine, the swirl paper is BasicGrey, the large flower is white felt from Fancy Pants and I used green and pink glitter glue from Stickles. The letters are chipboard from Cosmo Cricket. I stamped flowers from Hero Arts and embossed them for texture.

Thanks for looking.

Arty Girlz - Black and White


The challenge this week at Arty Girlz is Black and White. The challenge for Crazy Amigo this week is use your newest stamp. I just got this set of stamps in todays mail so I will be using this entry in both challenges.

I made this ATC using stamps from Dove of the East. I used Watercolor paper for the background and I stamped with Black from Brilliance. I added a bit of black ribbon and there is a little silver glitter on all the edges.

Thanks for looking.

Arty Girlz - Triangles



This week at Arty Girlz the theme is Triangles and here is my take on that:

LOVE TRIANGLE

I cut the paper so that the flaming heart was at the bottom and then mounted that on a piece of brown cardstock. The two lady images are from Altered Pages and the guy is from Art Chix. I added a red ribbon, red buttons and stamped LOVE in red. The alpha stamps are from Paper Artsy.
