Artist Soul Retreat with Laly Mille Day 3

Day 3 of free on-line Artist Soul Retreat with Laly Mille.  I must say I was gob-smacked that I created this canvas "I'M AN ARTIST" 

I even went shopping this morning and bought 2 tubes of Liquitex Acrylic Paint and a set of Liquitex Acrylic Iridescents!! 
Laly's video was a demonstration of her making her canvas - so many ideas,  I have used some of the bits and pieces on my mood board (however, not the original elements as I glued them down and they are not moving for anyone) and new bits and pieces.  I did use a bit of stamping this time.  My focal point is a small piece of jeans denim with texture paste dot stencil - I used this on my Day 2 pieces and I loved it.
And if you look top left you will see the Fortune Cookie I got yesterday - looking now with the white Posca pen around it - it looks 3D!
Thank you for looking, Margaret and here is the quote Laly shared today “There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you.”  Beatrix Potter

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Time stands still

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
