Loved

"Loved" is made with a sculpted tissue background.  I will have a tutorial on this simple method soon, if there is interest.  The couple is one of my favorite illustrations from illustrator James Montgomery Flagg.

Piggy and Kermie

Give an Ant an Apple

This is a goofy idea I had after hearing that there was a childrens' book called "Give a Cat a Cupcake." I thought it would be fun to make a card with each letter of the alphabet to make a little poem.

I have planned cards through the lettter "H". I'm having a lot of trouble with the letter "I". The thing given must have two syllables. If you can help - please enter a comment. Look for more cards, four at a time, from time to time

"My Country" Inchie Challenge

It was hard to limit myself to ten inchies for this challenge! I had three times as many and I finally narrowed it down to these 10:

1. Cabin in the Smoky Mountains
2. Old Faithful
3. Savannah Square
4. Delta Queen
5. Statue of Liberty
6. "The Wall" - Vietnam Vets memorial
7. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky
8. Grand Canyon
9. Waffle House (they're EVERYWHERE!)
10. Vermont

To create these cards, I started with chipboard and laid down a coat of gesso. Then I added a coat of thinned acrylic paint in a very light blue color. When the cards were dry, I squirted them with 'twinkings,'or 'glimmer,' a combination of water, alcohol ink, and ground mica.
