Summer Days at Sugar Creek Hollow

Well it certainly isn't very summery here in the North East UK but nice to be able to make something to remind us of Summer Days. The challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow is to do just that so I made a card with something I always enjoyed doing when I was kid. Bike rides in the summer holidays meant adventures for me.


I used a big sponge swirl for the background then distressed the edges with Rangers, broken china, distressed ink. The image was a free digi image which I painted in pale shades. The circles are cutout of a paper tray cover.  That's about it really apart from lace, ribbon, buttons and a die cut flower

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots.
