Tape It

This week at Sunday Postcard Art

the challenge is to create a postcard with tape somewhere in it.

It just so happened that I needed to make a card for a friend of mine

and some washi tape I had on hand seemed like the perfect embellishment.

Voila!

 My friend loved the card, BTW.

Thanks for looking,

I shall see you at

Opus Gluie Challenge #155

On A Bicycle Built For Two!

Challenge #155 at
The Order of the Opus Gluei 
is exactly that.

 

 I love this brass stencil, to tell you the truth.
I use it lots.
And I love it so much, 
I decided to create a challenge in its honour.
Hey, it makes sense to me!
We are inviting you to create something to do with
Bicycles.

That simple.
It could be a winding road, pedal pushers, 
a lovely warm summer day,
whatever,  We're flexible.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
You have until May 5 to visit
The Order of the Opus Gluei 
and link up with us.

C'mon, you know you want to.
See you there!

Collage

OK, here's the thing.

When I saw that Bonnie had suggested Collage" as a theme for this week's

Photo Art Friday 

I thought to myself,

"I can't do that."

But then a sweet comment my friend Ida made 

on something else I had done,made me think

"C'mon girl, give it a try."

So I did.

 These are my original photos:

 I used a photo mask by Amanda Frijo-Tobin
and added Bonnie's textures:

Ephemeral, Heartache by the Number, Inspiration and Craquelure.

It kind of got away from me, so that's about all I can tell you.

I lost a couple of hours of my life.  lol

I enjoyed it so much though,

I think I shall do another.

Stay tuned. 

Thanks Ida.

Thanks Bonnie.

And thanks for looking.

Cities

well, one, exactly

It's a place called Balloononia and 

it's where all those balloons go when they drift up, up and away,

when a little child accidentally lets go of the string.

You know, Balloononia.

It's not digital.

As soon as I saw what the theme was at

Collage Obsession 

I got all excited and 

saw my chance to use my new favorite stencil by Balzer Designs.

It's a cityscape.

I used some Dylusions sprays 

(did you know they will stay on your hand if you don't 

clean it up right away and instead run out the door to an appointment?)

Stamps from Mr Holtz and Wendy Vecchi.

And some treasure that arrived in a swap I just took part in.

Plus a sticker from my stash and some packaging left over 

from some ancient chipboard pieces I had about a century ago.

I don't throw anything out.

(But you don't either, do you?)

The dots are liquid perals.

There are a lot of liquid pearls in Balloononia.

Anything can happen in Balloononia, you know.

Anything at all.
