New Year, New Challenges....



The Daily Art Card challenge continues for me until roughly the end of April, and while up to now I have not had any theme or desire to keep my daily efforts, I thought that for the last leg I should try and create some kind of keepsake for myself. I also want to try and join in with some regular challenges but have to try and keep the whole thing under control - I get easily overwhelmed!! So I'm going to try and combine the weekly challenge at Art Creation Friday with a set of 4 x 4 art pages (a size I have not used before) which I will bind and keep as a momento of the DAC marathon. This is the first one, which I have called innocence. The background was the piece that had to be used,and I have to admit it is quite a lot darker than I would normally choose but I think it goes quite well with this image.



We also have a slight divergence over at the weekly MAMMA swap - this week rather than a theme we have a vintage image to use in an ATC. I decided to to do a gel transfer but I have to say it is not the best one I have ever done. I also stamped and decoupaged some ivy leaves - I quite like the effect I have got from this.


LOL MAMMA - Finally MAMMA has also started a Valentine swap and this is my entry. I didn't feel in the mood for pink and pretty today so I have gone for a coppery/brown tone and used the cuttlebug to do some embossing.
