Christmas in the Natural world ~ No Robins at International Art and Soul

Image
 Hi and welcome to the first challenge of the year that I am hosting at IAAS .  Robins are popular at Christmas but I wanted to do something different...I thought about doing a Christmas card but as the idea progressed I knew I wanted to do a journal page and some stash I had for Christmas would help with that. I've used stamps from  Hobby Art  and dies from the Works to create this winter scene.  As usual I've written my own quote and it reads "Nature knows no bounds, Nature provides what it needs throughout the seasons.  We just need to see the beauty in what nature provides."

Tic Tac Toe at Ikes World Challenges

Image
Welcome to February's challenge at  Ikes World  This months theme is Tic Tac Toe...ARGH there is ALWAYS things I never use or more often things I have NEVER heard of it.  I had this crazy idea for a journal page then tweeked it to fit the theme.   The Tic Tac Toe grid is: I've chosen to do Glitter, Flowers and Embossing.  I've used lots of glitter on the zombie animals and the flowers on the store clerk's jacket are embossed and cut out.  I've written the quote myself so the copyright is mine. It reads "Almost everything in life has sparkle and joy if you embrace it and allow it to be positive".  ⒸSall Baker

Off to Dinner at International Art and Soul

 Hi and welcome to off to dinner at  IAAS , the lovely Hazel has chosen this fortnight's theme although I suspect it was supposed to be slightly more romantic given that it's Valentines day but I never could stick to the obvious or easy route.  So I've used some Kingfisher and nature stamps from  Hobby Art  to make this journal page of a Kingfisher fishing along the canal.  I've used distress ink and brushos for the background and I've coloured the stamps with Derwent Procolour pencils and fussy cut them.  The quote is my own and copyright belongs to me. It reads "Nature knows how much it can take from itself without allowing egocentrism to drain it's resources."
