I created a set of digital ATCs as my entry.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Using PhotoShopElements software, I loaded the Gecko Galz collage paper of 6 ATC backgrounds. I changed the title to <i>Gypsy Roses</i> to follow my theme of placing at least one rose on each ATC. Most of the digital images required me to remove the backgrounds and create png files in order to place the images onto the ATC backgrounds. This created a smooth blend of image and background. With two of the images, I created frames around them for cohesiveness.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFSg4i07RdaFPV6ujl8BEh_YkrM6chOrF4U-uXE7-7vax-92tpv7oC1U1tvWTYHe3FU8KNK1-b1WIHFzhp2ZP5J01L1wKf3qw-TSp3Fi9nrfi9QAdUHoxlxjrxohW6LBSkhou2Qp2AsVtHEIH_Mf2J4Ftcrber5f09uYGpVK9c6BaZDOs-cXxfACK/s1747/Gypsy%20Roses.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I then highlighted the raised leaves from the embossing folder. The main image glued on top is a digital image from Vera Lane Studio which I colored with Copic markers. The inside base is made with Ken Oliver color burst powders. I made a pocket and added some die cut and embossed leaves (Tim Holtz) from another Gelli plate print. Stamping both outside and inside is from STAMPlorations.</span></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When I was little, I'd pick those white dandelions and blow them into the wind; I'm not sure I actually made wishes while doing it. I used a vellum envelope and wrote, on the tag inside, my wishes for things I love that I once again will be able to do after I get my COVID vaccine. The wishes range from hugging my kids to getting a haircut. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I had trouble finding a white pen that worked on top of acrylic paint, so I ended up using a fine brush and white acrylic paint. I used a fan brush to make the wispy dandelion tips. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Of course, I had to add a couple of digital printout images from Gecko Galz. And I happened to have washi tape that said <i>make a wish</i>!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq79bcSlkHgC9cejXyrBIGfc4M29uYMvQTY5aZ4KYT0uWWRnFGDb_jMHtjs1elQikd49c6lKHowoR_m9QdA2lgZMwmLz23abnvVcu2Sqhnpel_zi-TwpPkA9AvmSO7aiBNAA2Cqk2Zp8c/s2048/Wish.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1081" data-original-width="2048" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq79bcSlkHgC9cejXyrBIGfc4M29uYMvQTY5aZ4KYT0uWWRnFGDb_jMHtjs1elQikd49c6lKHowoR_m9QdA2lgZMwmLz23abnvVcu2Sqhnpel_zi-TwpPkA9AvmSO7aiBNAA2Cqk2Zp8c/w710-h374/Wish.jpg" width="710" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">ENTERING:</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Art Journal Journey: February: </b><a href="https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.com/2021/02/heavy-metal.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Heavy Metal</a><b> </b>(staples and wish charm)<b> #64</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Gecko Galz Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/654948344560159">Papercrafting Challenge Group</a>: Love</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Frilly and Funkie</b> February: <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2021/02/groundhog-day.html">Groundhog Day</a> #18 x</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Things I love to use over and over are my acrylic paints, stamps, black pen, and digital images.

This is class #2. It is from Laly Mille which focuses on growth and gratitude. I did a two page journal spread. In addition to the overall paper collage technique, she demonstrated how to paint the white flowers. Underneath the paper collage, I've written my intentions for 2021. The acrylic paint flowers with paper centers represent my garden of wishes. I made it my own by feathering the flowers and adding pink and blue flowers in a different style. My garden could not be complete without a fairy and a butterfly.<p></p><p>I shared this with</p><p><b>Gecko Galz Papercrafting Facebook group </b>where one of January's prompts is to make your own flowers. The Gecko Galz images are from Pixie Chicks digital stamps and Butterfly Wings collage sheet. WINNER!!! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Avenue 613 Create</b> <a href="https://avenue613.blogspot.com/2021/01/challenge-1-january-2021-anything-goes.html">January Anything Goes</a> I'm #215</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><b>Mixed Media Challenge</b> Blog<a href="https://mixedmediaacademy.blogspot.com/2021/01/january-2021-challenge.html" target="_blank"> January</a> <i>Hope Grows Everywhere</i> 2nd entry located at #8<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQWYwc9tbh4obqyR9YEZPgIlvtCMX_l1P5YKTGUKz6DXXT7h2sh7ILF3ByIpThWX529xOqVYFQiM6lIGb7VQVPWlPG_lF-bFqdLxLDXM1WCrdT02uuKRJniFxdyREHV6pin7YFHqipo6A/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQWYwc9tbh4obqyR9YEZPgIlvtCMX_l1P5YKTGUKz6DXXT7h2sh7ILF3ByIpThWX529xOqVYFQiM6lIGb7VQVPWlPG_lF-bFqdLxLDXM1WCrdT02uuKRJniFxdyREHV6pin7YFHqipo6A/w361-h361/image.png" width="361" /></a></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p>2amscrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18178501232431927463noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390036650810304309.post-67160262845187842992021-01-03T00:01:00.006-06:002021-02-08T13:37:02.061-06:00Longing for Family and Travel in 2021<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Happy 2021 New Year!
