Welcome!

This is my place to share my creative bits and pieces. My art has no rules, no limits and absolutely no order. My projects change with my moods but for the last few years, my main focus has been paper art. Cards, collage, mixed media and as many techniques as I can get to. My inspiration comes from everywhere.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

CHALLENGE CARD

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your summer. Busy, fun times for all.
I took some time today to create a challenge card, and build my birthday card stash.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE #11  is all about adding spots and stripes, along with a butterfly. I picked up the butterfly, months ago, at my local dollar store. It was white, so I sponged some colour on, then attached it to the card.  The spots are obvious, the stripes are subtle, stamped using the smaller stamp from the DOTTED HARLEQUIN BORDERS  set from Quietfire Design.

MIXED MEDIA CHALLENGE JULY 2014 

The flowers in the corner, are clear, sparkly stickers, like Peel-offs, that have been coloured with permanent markers.


CASE STUDY #200 


COLOUR Q #250 

The bold HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Quietfire Design has weight, to anchor the design to the card front.

I enjoyed creating this birthday card to share today, and I hope you'll click on the challenges to see lots of other great projects.
I appreciate your visit!

    Holly , I really like this card. I love your brilliant subtle addition of the harlequin stamp as your stripe element of the challenge requirement. Adorable butterfly. Not a species seen here before! Thank you for fluttering by #11. Hugs Mrs A. (butterfly challenge).

    Hi Holly, Saw this pretty card over at Mrs A's spots & Stripes, zipped over for a closer look and to become your newest follower. Love the sponging & the glimmer on this nifty butterfly, and the subtle way you've added in the stripes & spots with the lovely background stamping.
