Face to Face -

I really enjoyed doing this one!! I have thrown the kitchen sink at it to make an aged-looking collage!! I used a myriad of Egyptian stamps, distress inks, chalks, and a flourish screen, and I surrounded the lady image (which had to be used for the challenge) with some tiny embellishments, which have small seed pearls in pink and blue, from my stash. The Challenge was from Art Creation Friday, so thanks to them...

Theme Thursday 4x4 - Double Layer

I have entered this one in the Theme Thursday challenge, which is to make a 4" x 4" piece. I have gone more soft and gentle with this one, and chose blue, because I have not used it for a while!! The flower stamp is from Hobby Art, and is a fav of mine, because I feel it is so oriental. I used a french blue chalk eye inkpad and embossed in clear ep. The flourishes are from a UMount set, and I added dots with my Sakura pens, in the same colours as I used for the flower. The second, chalked layer, is a collage stamp from Creative Stamping, done with versamark to obtain a soft, ghostly imprint. I think it works and I enjoyed it anyway...
