My homeland

It is Friday, and I am here today to show you another project that is part of the ongoing challenge I have with BożenA. This time I chose the topic and decided on "My Homeland" The challenge was to depict the country in which we were born in any positive manner. Language alone did not suffice, but any topic could be chosen, namely scenery, characteristics, traditions, etc. While I now live in the stark, but regal state of Arizona in the USA, I am originally from South Africa, so here goes my project.

Progressive at Outlawz

Ok friends, it is March 1 and so time for a new Progressive Challenge over at the Outlawz Progressive Challenge. I am still on the southern side of the world, so this is another project I did before I left. I will be returning in a few days though.

Our sponsor this month is Sheepski Designs and the image is called Giant Mushroom.

Your own drumbeat

I have an exciting project to share with you today. I recently won some images from Sheepski Designs and picked this Flamenco Dancer as one of my images as I was inspired by the card my friend BożenA had made with it a while ago. Please visit her blog to see her version here. The two of us have decided to challenge each other to a theme or project and so she picked our first theme to be Dance and challenged me to use this image.

Always Dance

This week seems to have flown by, but here I am with another inspiration project for the Colour Crazy challenge blog. The theme is always Anything Goes as long as you have handcoloring on your project. This fortnight our sponsor is Skeepski Designs and I have used the image called Perfect Pointe.

Pretty in Pink

Time for another new challenge over at the Cute 'N Crafty Christmas Challenge blog. This is the place to share your Christmas/Winter themed creations. This fortnight our sponsor is Skeepski Designs and I am working with the image called Huddle.

Sending Hugs

Today I am crafting for the Crafting with an Attitude October challenge. The sponsor is Skeepski Designs and I opted to use Sleep Tight for this simple card.

I printed the image onto Strathmore Paint Pad paper and colored it with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I wanted to keep the card predominantly in shades of brown with a pop of blue.

I added a strip of blue patterned paper to the right hand side of a brown card base and put the image on the middle at an angle.

I completed the card by using the Sending Hugs sentiment from the Hero Arts Share Handmade Kindness stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink and adding clear embossing powder.
