Here's my words challenge. oops you can see the camera in the glass.LOL

I found a pack of ikea picture frames in a charity shop it had 2 this size 2 small squares and a larger rectangle in it and wait for it guess how much i paid ........ 60p what a bargain.

so i painted one white when it was dry i stamped a script stamp on to it in black, then i cut a piece of white card for the inside and stamped the script stamp on that. next i found a photo of my son on with a side profile scaled it down printed it cut his face out and used it as a template to draw round it on to black card cut that out, and stuck it to the insert piece . Its something a little bit different but its growing on me.

This week on Arty Girlz we have a guest Designer the lovely Cynthia Rainbow lady she kindly agreed set this weeks challenge for us which is to create a work of art using just THREE colours from the Rainbow spectrum which are RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO AND VIOLET.

I chose Yellow Green and Blue, I made a set of 4 ATC's using jut these 3 colours.

I just dabbed my ink pads over my ATC blanks in random order for my background, i must admit this is one of my favourite ways of doing a background , then stamped the image in dark blue with a Paper Artsy stamp then added some gems and flowers on the ATC's
