A Post Card

The new challenge at Artful Times is make a post card using some alphabet letters,script. Brilliant samples from the Artful team as always and all very different to inspire.


I painted my background with H20 paints then spritzed them and let them all run into each other. Next I added  gold alcohol ink dabs. Now into paint shop pro to add the digital image of a Steampunk boot that I got from here -all free images and some really interesting ones. The picture with the clock I have had for a while and I did add some script at the right bottom corner but it isn't very visible now :(

I used a cog stamp from Kanban to fill the corner and some peel-offs--just because:)

    Lovely card Chrissie, I am just working on mine. Had to laugh at your comment about Thelma's knees - I keep putting it into my story because I need to keep myself going! I have knee surgery in October, and am nor really looking forward to it! Seems to be a universal problem! Hugs, Valerie

    What a fab idea has just sprung to mind after seeing your entry and reading your blog post. Why not write up to a manufacturer and get them to produce some Steampunk Boots for winter. In the meantime why not alter doe existing boots of your own?
    Love your card Chrissie, sorry I got carried away - must try that background with the H2o's.
    Thanks for joining us at Artful Times - Hugs, Neet xx

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. It didn't look like art to
