"Anything Goes" Challenge No 1


There is a new Challenge Blog on the block called "Anything Goes". This has been organised by the Craft Den by Lynne and can be found on "Lynne's Blog". So get yourselves over there and see what it is all about.
The very first challenge of the month is: Colours- Blue, Brown and Yellow, the theme is "Wings".
Here's my entry to this first challenge, it is an ATC using one of the Maya Road ATC cards coloured the background with Mustard Seed and Broken China DIs. The background is stamped in Archival olive using a very useful Paper Artsy stamp from the Hot Picks range. The butterfly is a Wendy Vechi which I stamped on to grunge paper using black Archival colourd with Mustard Seed and stuck 3 little yellow pearls down the middle. The Moon Girl Fairy is from Stampotique, stamped on Grunge paper coloured with Copics and Star Dust Stickles spread on her wings for a little bit of glitter. The mushrooms are from one of Jo Capper-Sandon's new range for Stampotique. I stamped these on to Grunge Paper too and coloured with Tea Dye DI, the dark brown spots are done with a Copic Marker pen.

  8. Gorgeous artwork Pat, love the background colours too :) I've just finished my entry for Sunday Stampers and as it was 'wings' I'd intended to use it for this challenge too, but I'd only remembered the wings bit, had forgotten the colours (though mine does have 2 of the 3 colours in, but had already blogged it and couldn't really see where to put some brown)
