My background is made with several layers distress oxide & water.

Left unsupervised

Challenge #58 on Lost Coast Portal to Creativity = Anything Goes

I stamped Megan's Owl with distress oxide & water to get a watercolor effect.
Painted the background also with distress oxide & water, added some grey paint and black gesso. Some lines to suggest cobwebs / spiders.

Live life

Journalpage, inspired by Viva Las Vegastamps June Swap

Live life. 
Not war, but love is the answer.

My inspiration came from the words opposite/ above and below.

''the heavens & earth, above & below. Think tandem but opposite. Yin & Yang".

Round and Round

Made these Artist Trading Coins for Challenge #55 - Round and Round on Lost Coast Portal To Creativity.
Started stamping the background stamp with versamark, when dry, brayered big&juicy ink over it until I liked the depth of the colours.
Used modeling paste through a star stencil, Tim Holtz designtape and lyrics.
Stamps ofcourse Lost Coast :-)
Finished with some metallic paint.

Mini me

Challenge #54 on Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is "mini me"

I made this ATCoin for the challenge, had to scan with a black sheet of paper behind it else the scanner wouldn't take the little thing ;-)

Orange and Yellow

Challenge #52 on Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is all about Orange and Yellow.

I made a background on the gelliplate with inks, paints and stencils.
Stamped my fav. bird and finished with some ribbon, washitape and Tim Holtz chitchat stickers.

First challenge 2018

First challenge in 2018 is on Viva Las Vegastamps Challenge blog and this is what I made for it:

Had a lot of trouble entering my own blog, somehow is was logged to the wrong email address.
I just found that out, and was able to change it and now it is working again, phew...

I started with 2 greens distress oxide with water. Some black & white accents, markmaking and ofcourse the lovely stamp.

The inspiration:
We'd like you to pull deep down and bring forth your muse! Show us your face... real or whimsical, use greens of any hue, black & white. Be inspired by bold patterns, circles, dots, crosses, mark making, hatches, grungy, distress, layers & more. Mary Vogel Lozinak's images are a great way to start your year of stamping.
