which way back to Oz?

This week, the delightful Deann is hosting Sunday Postcard Art with the prompt of ELVES.

I've used these darlings from Hidden Vintage Studio

This first image is the original.... can you spot the mistake? yes somehow this little elf got her mascara all over her chin
 so she had to go under the knife at PSP for a face lift....

I don't normally adjust with PSP but I print another face out and add it on, however my printer isn't working and I have to keep going to my neighbour to print image so I thought instead of disturbing her I would do it digitally

Didn't we have a loverly time

This week, my Little A is hosting Sunday Postcard Art with the theme of VICTORIAN SCRAP.
I love these type of collage images and have quite a collection of them. Lots are available on Pinterest and Google.

I just love these birdie images I've used for my postcard. So quaint


Thanks for looking and commenting.

This week's theme on SPA is SKYLINE.... chosen by Cindy. I've used these cute houses from a collage sheet designed by Dyan from Dylusions... she made these collage sheets many moons ago before she became so famous.


thanks for the inspiration Cindy

enlighten

This week's SPA is another colour challenge, I find this quite a challenge but at the same time, less daunting than a totally open theme. There is a little guidance.


i've used images from Itkupilli on Mischief Circus.
I love these religious type of images.

Daily Journaling


I am going to try to make a piece of art every day....
so far I have succeeded doing it for 3 days now

This is from Day 2
Journal page for The Three Muses/written word

not sure you can see a lot of the 'written word' 
but there's plenty, lots of layers of different book pages
under the paint.
