harvest Andy

Its time for the One layer wonder Wednesday and I so missed this challenge while Susan and Jennifer were on vacation… today the challenge was color it, so since I usually chalk that’s what i did to the image from one of Marks finest papers fall sets, the sentiment is theirs too. Doesn’t the scarecrow look a little like Raggedy Andy?

distress

Marks finest papers Speedy the cat challenge is Distress, which seems to mean ‘old’ antique looking and there are distress inks and techniques so I hope this fits. The distressed image is from Marks finest papers ‘Thankful for you’ set , I used Tim Holtz distress ink. then sponged the teal and goldenrod inks around the background so i could enter the Playdate Cafe color challenge (see below). The sentiment is from hero arts.

Twine island

The Marks Finest Papers challenge was twine… i thought of sailor knots and sea scenes…but using twine is so bulky…. i guess i need twine practice. the background is cuttlebuged and both sentiment and the island are Marks Finest Paper stamps from summer mini set ‘sand between my toes’. Cute huh?

OLW just ink

The One Layer Wonder challenge today is just ink- layers of stamped images for quick cards… well i did use only stamped images but it wasn’t quick it took a while to get it just right. I did add a little chalk on the vine where the flowers are. The vine and breeze sentiment are from Marks Finest Papers and the whirlwind is from paper trey ink.
