LIVE - Blind 3 Art Journal Page

Hi everyone!

Each month I stream creating a page using the blind 3 challenge where I 'blindly' select three mediums and can only use those three mediums plus black and white. I can use stencils, stamps and textures also.

Today the three colours were bronze, copper and cobalt blue hue! 

I had no idea what I was going to do until I started going through my stamps and thinking what I could add to the page. I'm happy with the end result. Let me know what you think.

ICAD 2023 - Day 1 - Sapling

Hi everyone!

It's been a few years since I took part in the ICAD challenge set by Daisy Yellow Art, so when I saw the videos and pics up on social media showing their cards I thought I would give it a go again.

I have so much fun with this challenge. I tend to add a bit of humour into the cards where possible. It makes me more adventurous and more willing to keep the cards coming.

Card Series - Birthday 34

Hi everyone!

So I had to make a birthday card for my granddaughter who is turning 13 later this month. Not only that but I wanted to add envelopes inside the card to hold one $10 note, 13 in all, hence the neverending card.

I made the card big enough (9"x9") so that it could hold all the envelopes and other bits and pieces I wanted to add.
