Astrantia and A Man!

 Morning and time for the mid post inspiration for Stamping Sensation ATG/Mood board challenge and we are sponsored by AALL&Create. I went with Garnet and AALL&Create stamp sets Astrantia and Textured Florals.

I used the fabulous P.paper Watercolour Painted Flowers from ScrapAndMe and stamped the Astrantia straight onto the P.paper and coloured with promarkers, added some doodling and texture stamp from Creative Expressions,found another ring can pull and a slhouette man in the pot so he went on too ,the sentiment was from the botom of a P.paper pad and after some advice from Helen it went on at a wonky angle lol.

 

 Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!

Uschi said...

Wow! Carol, this is so breathtaking! I love the mix of stamps and these great colorful flowers. They really look fantastic. I think your doodles and texture stamps just complete the card. This silhouette man surpasses everything. He is so well placed. And that canned ring – you really have the ability to create something special. I'm excited.
Thank you for sharing this special Everybody Art Challenge card.
Hugs, Uschi

I really love the use of the can tab. I have seen others use them and think, oh I should save some. Then I forget. Super card.

Alyson Mayo said...

This is so cool with so many different elements - love the flowers and the addition of the "found' items :)

Leslie Miller said...

Wow, this is an amazing and beautiful combination of all the different parts! It's hard to tell where the patterned paper ends and your stamping begins. Lovely coloring. When I first read your title I had all kinds of thoughts in my head.

wowowow! How beautifully detailed your collage is, Carol! The "bleeding" pinks in your flowers are especially lovely. Your collages always are amazing works of art. I recognized your brightly hued pull-tab from a can. How innovative that is! hugs, de
