Birds Eye View

The challenge this month at ARTastic Challenge blog is to be inspired by the artwork by Luka Va called "Bird King" shown below, with the added criteria of wood veneer and/or birds:

June inspiration by Luka Va called Bird King
I have had this photo of a pigeon on the top of The Empire State Building in New York sitting since a previous visit nearly 5 years ago - just loved it but just could not find the right layout for it - and then Voila this challenge!  I have used up some of my stash - a beautiful fabric bird (there is still one left), some cut outs of colour birds and a strip of patterned paper with birds in a row and a wood veneer arrow stamped black (it is probably the newest item on the page). Here is a close up of the fabric bird.
Thank you for looking and why not head over to ARTastic Challenge and make a layout/card or 3D project from the inspiration photo.  Margaret :)

It's always good being able to use from the stash and scrap those older photos. That is one brave bird :-). Love your fabric bird, gorgeous colours and fits perfect with our challenge at ARTastic. Thanks for joining in.

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.

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.
