Feathered Friends

Feathered friends is the challenge at Sunday Postcard Art. Here is my postcard.

Fanta-sea

Great play on words with today's challenge at Sunday Postcard Art.  Here is my entry:

Stamps used: Elusive Images, Stampington

Storks

Storks is today's challenge at Sunday Postcard Art. My postcard is a little tongue-in-cheek, but hey, it's still Stork.....

May Flowers

"April showers bring May flowers" and among those beautiful flowers is the lily-of-the-valley.

Card is for challenges "April showers May flowers" at Sunday Postcard Art  and Flowers for May at Daring Cardmakers.

White

An intriguing challenge today at Sunday Postcard Art: white.
Here is my postcard. I tried to use lots of texture and sparkle.

Sunday Postcard Art:: No 1

Our dear Sandy has set the challenge at SPA today: No 1. I used a Player's cigarette card as the starting point for my postcard sized collage along with velvet paper, some organza, gold leaf and a jigaw piece.

Sunday Postcard Art: Faces

The challenge today at Sunday Postcard Art is Faces. Here is my angelic faced interpretation.

Expressions of love, hearts and Valentines

It's that time of year....the challenge blogs have turned romantic. Stampotique Designers' Challenge is looking for expressions of love; Sunday Postcard Art for hearts, and Wednesday Stamper for expressions of love.

Here is my entry. I wanted to create a vintage feel. The lace trimmed heart is mounted on felt pads. The wording reads: ""The treasured heart you keep inside will keep my dreams away from harm."

Stamps by The Stamp Bug, Stampington, Craft Stamper

Autumn Glory

The challenge today at Sunday Postcard Art is autumn glory. Here is my postcard:

Stamps: PaperArtsy, Stampington, Stampin' Up! Embellishments: Fancy Pants (felt), Heidi Swapp.
Background made with alchol inks

Sunday Postcard Art: Fruit

A colourful challenge from SPA: Fruit.
I immediately thought of Carmen Miranda, having seen her in a very old film recently. Carmen Miranda (9 February 1909 – 5 August 1955) was a Portuguese-born Brazilian samba singer and Broadway actress popular in the 1940s and 1950s. She was, by some accounts, the highest-earning woman in the United States and recognized for her signature fruit hat outfit that she wore in the 1943 movie The Gang's All Here

Exterminate!

On the dark side is the theme at Sunday Postcard Art. My entry is a dalek (inside and outside). I always thought daleks were a bit lame but they used to terrify my brother.

Sewing

Sewing is the challenge at Sunday Postcard Art. I've always been useless at sewing and still have nightmares about having to thread the Viking Husqvarna at school. But fortunately no bobbins were harmed in the making of my postcard.

Oriental

I was intrigued to try this week's challenge of Oriental at Sunday Postcard Art because it's a theme I've never attempted.

I used gesso and Glimmer Mists for the background and then had fun with some collage elements.

April in Paris

Sunday Postcard Art's theme is the delightful April in Paris. Here is my entry. Stamps by Elusive Images.
