Just thought I would share my entry, Heavenly Bodies, to Helga’s monochromatic Twinchie challenge. Twinchies are 2" square pieces of artwork and for this challenge they needed to be in one color family. I just got done reading one of my favorite books by C.S. Lewis Out of the Silent Planet so I was inspired to make my Twinchie with planets, moons and stars. I hope you are inspired to create something heavenly today

Speaking of Heavenly, I also got to make this sweet baby card for a neighbor of mine that is a new mom, Little Angel. I used a Stampin’ Up card and some of the beautiful paper from my Paper Source card contest.

I had so much fun participating in the "Create Art Share Happiness" Postcard swap. For this challenge 3 different collage sheets were needed in fabulous Pink and Green! I pulled out my Watercolor paper and paints to create pale pink and teal green as the backgrounds. I then used the fabulous Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte Medium as the glue for all of the lovely Art Chix images as well as some paper scraps from my collection. With my 6 postcard entries I will receive 2 collage image sheets and 6 postcards from different artists. Can’t wait to receive my swap items and share with you guys! Bye for now

My Friend Helga from My Artistic Life Blog recently had a call for Inchies! Inchies are an amazing way of making a 1 inch piece of art and for this challenge it was to make 20 Inchies representing your life. I added the Art Chix Studio Circle pics circles, Pretty paperdoll images, as well as the Dazzling Doorways to my 20 little pieces of art. And the end result is tiny squares filled with my life, like being a maiden, a lover, to a wife, a mom, a chixie, and so forth. For making these I used a 4"x5" sheet of watercolor paper, watercolors, and Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte medium. Don’t be scared to try these out, just mix the paint in random patches and start layering in some of the images. I even cut images in half to use on 2 different Inchies. Have Fun!

Just wanted to share some cards real quick from the past month! Oy, having an infant sure does funny things with the time, somethings go bye so slowly and then everything seems to wisk by in a haze. I can’t believe that my daughter is already in a baby swing she isn’t even 5 months yet but she loves to be mobile! So now I have a little time to share my glittered Baby cards using Stampin Ups Sticky cuts letters, and my stamped and Inked card using Art Chix Chixie Bubbles collage image. You can check out my earlier glittered baby cards I’ve made HERE. And my earlier post about the Chixies Bubble artwork I did HERE. I have also been scouring the internet for FREE vintage images to use in my cards and artwork and have found some really nice sites.If you are looking to make a vintage style project you will definitely enjoy these! Please link back here and to the other sites if you use the images for your own personal use. And with my photos they belong solely to me so please leave a comment if you have any questions about any of my artwork you see on Pinkdilla.
