Art Every Day Month - Day 7

Morning All!

Here's today's miniature artwork. Carabelle Studio's artist trading stamp theme today is Time.

I started with a gel print background, added scraps of teabag  and painty paper, then stamped with a Carabelle Studio stamp. I attached a metal watch face with a brad, then finished with word stickers and a few white marks.

And now I'm getting ready for another woodland walk with a local walking group. This is a group I haven't walked with before, so I'm hoping they're a friendly bunch.

Hope you have a lovely day,

Christmas AT Stamp

Hi Everyone!

I'm just back from a cold but bright walk with my Mum and Dad's walking group. No photos I'm afraid, too busy walking and chatting! I did get some photos of yesterday's woodland walk though. I arrived too late to join the group, got my timing wrong, but on my own, I was able to stop and take some photos.

One of the beautiful trees, possibly beech?

And its fabulous roots

And finally, a little robin who was singing so sweetly by the gate. I should have zoomed in, but hopefully you can spot his red breast.

Now for today's artist trading stamp with its Christmas theme. I used an Elusive Image stamp.

I used it to make my second Christmas card, using another stamp from the same set as a background.

Hope you're having a happy and creative day,

Christmas is Coming!

Morning Friends!

It's official, I made my first Christmas card of the year! Garden Party Challenge on Instagram's latest five prompts are...

Rectangle card with white background

Grey + One colour

Trees

Dots

This is what I came up with. Very minimalist for me! I used a tree stamp by Artemio, and some PaperArtsy Sara Naumann word stamps. Splatters courtesy of a blue Posca Paint Pen.

I also have my latest Artist Trading Stamp to share, and today's theme is Holidays. Our holiday destinations usually involve mountain hiking. Those little stick people are us with our walking poles! Hahaha!

I'm linking today's art to the Art Every Day Month Challenge.

I'm off for my woodland walk shortly, have a lovely day!

Art Journal Journey - Fruit or Veggies

Happy Sunday Evening Everyone!

I made another page for Rike's Fruit or Veggies theme at Art Journal Journey. Unfortunately my ink splatter fell directly onto Newton! Lol! I used leftover circles from yesterday's calendar pages, with teabags and a book page.

And here's my little 4.5x6cm artist trading stamp for today's theme of Landscapes.

I'm also linking up to Art Every Day Month.

AT Stamps With Carabelle Studio

Evening All!

I found a new Instagram challenge for November...Happy face! This one is from Carabelle Studio Stamps, and the challenge is to create artist trading stamps (postage), 4.5x6cm, using any rubber stamps, but theirs preferably.

Day One - Animals. Hopefully a tortoise will qualify. Incredibly hard to photograph this small artwork on a dull day, so please forgive the fuzziness.

Day Two - Characters.

I'm hoping this challenge will help me to link to Art Every Day Month all through November.

November Art Journal Calendar

Happy November Everyone!

Here's my art journal calendar for the coming month.

A background of teabags, a scraping of DecoArt Crackle Paste, and circles cut from my recent gel prints.

I think they look like apples and oranges, or at least fruity colours, so I'm linking up to Rike's Fruit & Veggies theme at Art Journal Journey.

 I almost forgot! Today is the start of Leah's Creative Everyday Challenge, so I'm linking up there too.

Wishing you a creative month,
