Bizzy Bec's June inspiration

 I have started doing some Postcard Art and am loving it.  Here I have added some Bizzy Becs digital Waterlily to this postcard.  I know, I think I said I would not colour or cut out small digital stamps but hey, I could not resist them on this project.

 This is my entry in the Gecko Balz Blog Image Challenge for June.  Hope you like it, love adding to my collection of dex cards. 

My first Postcard Art

 For this month's Steampunk image challenge over at Fripperies & Butterflies, I decided to have a go at Postcard Art.  I have used as the background a postcard from Gecko Galz Pretty Little Postcards Kit with the image printed 3 times in different sizes.  I decorated it with chipboard cogs and chain.  I have used Pinecone ink on the edges and coloured the cogs and chain with markers.

Morgan's ArtWorld June Blog Challenge

 This blog challenge is always "Anything Goes".  I have chosen to work with "Africa" this month.  I love this image and decided to make it the size of a 5" x 7" photo frame so I could display it.  I used Prismacolors, however, I might have used the wrong side of the lemon pastel paper but I don't mind the textured side.

Bizzy Bec's "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge

 For my inspiration I have made a sympathy card using "Tulip Bunch".  I will be using this card straight away for the family of a dear friend whose funeral is Monday.

Bizzy Bec's Inspiration

 Here's a bit of mid-month inspiration using Bizzy Bec's digital stamps.  I have to admit I printed and coloured these peony flowers before I knew how I was goling to showcase them.  Originally I thought a CAS with a white card but when I placed them on the cardstock it didn't do much for me.  

Plan B - I searched my digital stamps folder on my computer because I knew I had stashes of peonies on it.  Then it came to me - Audrey Hepburn.  I had previously bought some papers and clipart of one of the best actresses of all time.  This is what I came up with.  Sorry on my second card I used the peony trio which Bec offered in a giveaway.  However, the Peony single can be substituted for the trio. I used some stash paper for the first layer on the white cardstock on both cards.  Then I used my digital paper and clipart, finishing the cards off with the peonies on foam tape..

PeonySingle digital stamp

Actually it was a fun way to come up with the card as all I started with was a couple of coloured digital stamps.  Maybe now I need to work on all the older coloured images I have in my stash lol.

Bizzy Bec's May Blog Challenge

 As always this challenge is "Anything Goes.  This month I am working with Daisy Trio and Daisy Single.  

For this card I used Daisy Trio digital images in shades of  light yellow and orange and placed them in the shape of the rectangle on the card base.  The problem I then had was what colour should I colour the single daisy.  I had thought of pink to change it up a bit.

I was hanging out some clothes this morning before I had coloured the daisy and all of a sudden a friend came to mind.  Joy received her angel wings in 2019 and she loved the colour orange, so my single daisy has to be that colour.  I fussy cut the daisies out and used foam tape to adhere to the white card base and foam tape again to mount the single daisy.

 The optional theme for May's Blog Challenge is "For the Girlz".  For my inspiration I have used "Hot Chocolate".

I wanted to create a rounded curved pop with the image on the card, but not sure exactly how it is done.

My colouring is with mixed coloured pencils.
