Compendium of Curiosities Challenge- week 27

We are already at week 27 for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge. I am hoping Tim will produce another book so the amazing Linda at Studio L3 will host another one. I am not really pleased with my results this week but it does show the technique. I have used black soot distress ink, heirloom gold perfect pearls, gold embossing powder, crow and barbed wire masks, a quote from Quietfire Designs and a musical notes punch. It is much more glittery than it appears.

I will also be entering my crow into Simon Says Stamp and Show. I was the lucky winner last week. Thank you Simon Says.

Saturday's WORKOUT- 9er of crows

  The challenge on SATURDAY'S WORKOUT was to make 9 ATC's that work collectively and individually. This one didn't go fast for me but I am really glad I participated. I think I will be making more of these. They are fun. Thanks for looking!

Theme Thursday-Crow goes to Paris

  This week Theme Thursday is asking for ATC's with a flourish or flourishes. I have sent flourished crow on a trip to Paris. Flourish and crow stamps are from Quietfire Design. Thanks for looking. 

Mixed Media Monday-Time of Day

The challenge on Mixed Media Monday was to create a piece around a particular time of day. I am very fortunate in that I live on the waterfront of a beautiful bay. I chose the colors of a sunset to create an acetate card. I get to enjoy wonderful sunsets often...and so does crow. The crow and word stamps are from King Rubber and the water scene is a Whispers stamp. I used chalks and inks to create the background.

garden Crows

    The challenge for Wednesday Stamper is Paisley. I made this background a while ago using      SU  Paisley background stamp, adirondack inks, and clear embossing powder. I added the crows (Dawn Houser) and words (Quietfire) and some SU hardware. Thank you for looking.
