tag tuesday flowers theme

the new two week challenge at tag tuesday is flowers, chosen by dear DT sister Pinky. here is my offering:

i used rubber stamps (flowers by all night media and butterfly on the right by hero arts) on a background paper by gecko galz. i used markers to give the stamps a bit of color, and added the words from an arthouse whimsy set.

i'm sad i missed the last challenge but i've been traveling a lot for work. hopefully i'm settled in at home now for awhile!

love to all.

more flowers and plants

this is week two of our latest theme at tag tuesday blog. in honor of spring in this hemisphere, here we go! i hope you will play along; as long as there are flowers or plants on there somewhere you are good to go! 

here i've used mostly images from art tea life. i hope you enjoy; love to all.

flowers or plants and whatever you want!

i'm in charge of the latest theme at tag tuesday blog. we often choose our themes several weeks in advance and i think i had an idea for this theme but by the time it was time to make my tags i really couldn't remember. but anyway, here are a few tags that i hope will inspire you to play along. as long as there are flowers or plants on there somewhere you are good to go!

for week one i worked with these images from a beautiful buddha collage sheet by gecko galz. come back next week to see a different approach to the theme.

i hope you will play along, love to all!

folk art?

for sunday postcard art this week the theme is "folk art." i wasn't entirely sure what to do with that, my light research suggested art that is typically practical in nature, also typically a product of unschooled/untrained artists, and also related to a particular culture. i still did not know what to do, but lots of samples i saw had flowers so that's where i started. and perhaps got carried away! then added some human images for (hopefully) added visual interest. maybe these women are the artists who worked with all those flowers...

flowers are from a retired miles beyond the moon digital kit called "paper flowers." the female images are from the lady diva kit from designs by aymara.

love to all.

hearts and flowers; courage

first, for take a word: hearts and flowers --

not a bougainvillea

today's theme at the "index card a day" challenge sponsored by daisy yellow art is bougainvillea. i just did something with flowers!

i tore strips of paper from two different vintage paper packs. i cut the flowers from some stationery. the girl is from the gecko galz "tattoo girls" collage sheet.

i'm linking to the gecko galz "color of summer" challenge.

love to all.

faery picnic; and a bit of stamping for ICAD

for sunday postcard art: fruit

images from dezinaworld, itKuPiLLi, pixabay, and miles beyond the moon.

also today: my index card a day ICAD #14 "chamomile." 

i looked up an image of chamomile and it is sort of daisy looking. so i made this card with rubber stamps, spritzed watercolor inks, a grassy bit from a tumblefish creations digital kit, and a bit of an unsteady hand on the stamping...

but hopefully the sentiment comes through.

love to all.

ICAD #2 "marigold"

it is day 2 for the "index card a day" challenge sponsored by daisy yellow art. so far so good I'm 2 for 2! the challenge is to make art on an index card (either 3x5 or 4x6) every day through July 31.  there's a daily theme though you can do whatever you want. today's theme: "marigold" which I am just going to interpret as "flower!"

images, background paper, words and digital stamp (which i colored with pencil) are gecko galz products. i'm linking this also to this month's customer challenge at gecko galz which is "colors of summer."

love to all.

back to nature

for today's gecko galz challenge of the day:

gecko galz collage sheets and paper packs: jardin, floral symphony and charming words.

love to all!

speaking words of wisdom...

gecko galz challenge of the day for today is "words and music." i used an image from a free GG sheet, along with paper from the floral symphony paper pack and an image from the tattoo girls collage sheet to make this card which i hope provides some inspiration in these unsettling times.

love and health to all.
