IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE

Well, we are with another challenge at IKE'S WORLD

- #23 AROUND THE WORLD.

We want to see creations that depict different Countries around the world.

 There are many different sets over at IKEsART  in the World Series if you would like to get one of those to play along with.... 

or a super FREEBIE on the challenge blog.

I went for ITALY.

I used some of the lovely images from the ITALY BUNDLE,

to make this collage. I coloured it with pencils as i wanted to keep it monochrome except for the

matting a layering and the map of ITALY using the colours of their flag.

You have nearly two weeks to come and join us for this challenge...

hope to see you there.

I can never get my Grumpie stamps out without having my girls wanting to join me.

So today i have my own card to share with you and,

a card that each of my girls made.

Mine is first up.... stamped and masked.... computer generated message.

 These are my girls cards.... BD junior's (she is no longer a ''little'' BD) on the left and,

glitter dragon's on the right.

Both stamped, masked and coloured their own  images. 

I think they're pretty darned good for 9 yr olds.

Hope you enjoy this hop.... please come along and check out the SMEARED AND SMUDGED forum...

we are a friendly bunch of stampers... a little strange maybe, sometimes a little weird...

but always happy to see new faces.

I thought long and hard about this theme, 

below is my ''WISH''.... 

the whole project is stamped and masked.

Coloured with distress inks for the ethereal dreamy look that I had in my mind,

although my mind is not a good place to be sometimes or somewhere you'd really want to be :(
