CTS2 & CFC75

 This is for CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #2 and CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 75(Over the Edge).

I used A Muse Friend to Friend stamps. I colored the leaves with a Koh-i-noor pencil, then topped it with Glossy Accents.

CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #2

 This is for CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #2. I used A Muse stamps: Friend to Friend & Essential Sentiments.

 I used PTI canyon clay ink spot to drag across the paper, then colored the petals with Memento rhubarb ink, and topped it with glossy accents.

CASE this sketch 1

I am getting frustrated with this new blogger. I can't figure out sometimes how to put spaces in between pics. So I am just going with it this time.

This is for the new blog challenge on CAS(E) this sketch!

I used A Muse sunflower stamp, and sentiment, with PTI snow white ink, on a textured gray cs.

Repetition!

 This is inspired by the Moxie Fab's Repetition challenge.

The stamps are both from A Muse.

The designer paper is Basic Grey: Oliver 6x6 paper pad.

The library clip is from Stampin Up.

One Day Mushroom Snack

 Yesterday, we had hundreds of these little tiny mushrooms appear in our yard. I thought they looked cool, and couldn't wait to watch them grow, and get opportunities to get more pics.

 That was not to be.

 These slugs came last night and ate almost every single mushroom! Must've been a FEAST!

 This little tiny patch are all that are left. There are few stems here, but all of the other mushrooms, stems and all are completely gone!!

Notice the slug slime leaving the scene of the crime.

Ode to DaVinci

Ever since I saw the movie: Ever After, I have loved DaVinci's faces. The Head of a Woman (also known as La Scapigliata) is my favorite from that movie. I have found a few others, and this is a pencil drawing of it. This is my first attempt at a face since my high school art class. They have never been my favorite to work on. But Michelle has been inspiring me with all of hers.

And I am posting this to Art Journal Every Day.

Focal Point Challenge

 This is for Michelle & Corey's anniversary. I also made it for the Moxie Fab Focal Point challenge.

It is a little Faux Watercolored. The flower is from SU's Fabulous Flowers. I inked it in Memento's new Morocco ink, then misted it with water in a mini mister, and stamped, then misted again, and stamped off the edges. The sentiment is AMuse: Essential Sentiments stamped in AMuse gray.

The paper is My Mind's Eye Indie Chic "Ginger". I love that whole pad of paper!! 

The focal point of the card is edged in AMuse gray ink, to set it off against the patterned paper.

The PTI scallop edging is PTI gray paper, it matches the MME paper so well!
