September Artistic Inspirations Blog

We are having an anything goes challenge at the Artistic Inspirations Blog.

Our sponsors this month are: Make it Crafty. 

My steampunk inspired card uses Steampunk Chesire Cat coloured with promarkers and Sparkly gel pens.  I wanted to recreate the slightly off square and higglilypiggly effect by using a larger black square and setting the image at an angle.

We are having an anything goes challenge at the Creative Ladybirds Creations Blog..

Our sponsors this month are: Ike's Art  offering 5 images to the winner and Lacy Sunshine Stamps  offering 3 images to the winner. 

After a recent trip around London to look for the Shaun the sheep statues I went to Devonshine Square  near Liverpool Street station and saw the knight statue, it's so impressive. 

This gave me the inspiration for one of my projects this month using the image knight from Ike's images. I coloured the image with Promarkers to make a bookmark for my father-in-law as part of his Father's Day gifts.  

Ingredients:

Brown Centura Pearl card

Gold rope effect 

I am a massive fan of Lacy Sunshine so when I saw this rockabilly image I had to colour her in my favourite reds.  To finish her off and give a real 50's style I used a free digital frame I found at Create with TLC.

Thanks for looking. 

Rainy Saturday part 2

After my photography day was cut short by the rain (see rainy Saturday part 1). I got out my promarkers.

I coloured up Sarah Jane and Nibbles Ready For The Ball by Lacy Sunshine.   The image reminded me of Belle from beauty and the beast.  I had the idea of putting her in a frame that looked a bit like the magic mirror. I remembered that I had downloaded a frame from Opal Manor a while back so I printed it out colouring it in silver and gold and decorated it with gem brads. 

I put them together and covered it acetate to make it stand up. 

I am going to enter this in to the following challenges:

Rainy Saturday part 1

I planned to spend all morning doing nature photography and the afternoon taking photographs of the cricket team my husband scores for. Unfortunately the weather wasn't having any of it. I got some and then the rain set in and I went home. Here are a selection of my shots. 

I'm not happy with them, but there's always next week.
