Less People - More Gnomes

 Good morning!  I was honored to be asked to be a guest designer for the new challenge at:

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #274 - G is for Gnome

I decided to go with some art journaling for this one:

I used clipart from the Watercolor Gnome Ladies set from WondersArtist on Etsy. I used some Gesso on the pages, then applied Lindy's Magicals and let them dry. I blended some brown inks around the edges, added some die cut trees, leaves, and mushrooms, and used a stencil on the left page. On the right page, I flicked some dark brown ink spray on the pages and stamped the snarky sentiments from Ink Road Stamps with permanent black ink. 

I would like to enter my art journal into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Outlawz May - Anything But a Card

Thanks for visiting! Peace.

You're Super & Wish Upon a Star

 Happy Friday! I'm having my middle granddaughter Lisey (Analiz) over for a sleepover tonight. She's going to be 6 in June and she's Grammy's girl. ;) We're going to spend some time in my craft room making a Mother's Day gift for her mom (my daughter), we'll make brownie sundaes and watch movies and then go to breakfast on her way home tomorrow.  :)  I'm looking forward to it!

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Passion for Markers 835 - Heroes - Super or Real

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

AllSorts #848 - AG/Optional Anything But Square

Addicted to Stamps #516 - Make Your Mark

I have been doing a great job of using up backgrounds that I have in my stash - I have A LOT. LOL  It's one of my favorite things to do, make backgrounds. So this one was made with Lindy's Magicals on watercolor paper. I stamped the image & sentiments from The Greeting Farm's Amazing Duo rubber set (2009) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored Anya the Super Heroin and her mask with Copics and Stickles, fussy cut her, and attached her with foam dots. I die cut the words, sponged the edges, and attached those with foam dots. Added some bling to it for sparkle.

And I'd like to enter the next card into the following challenges:

Make My Monday #276 - Birds and/or Eggs

Fab n' Funky #636 - Pink, Blue, and/or Yellow

I used Lindy's Magicals on watercolor paper for the background. I stamped some zodiac sign star stamps all over it and the sentiment in the corner.  Stamps are from Unity Stamp Co. The Owl & The Moon - I stamped the owl image with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
