Althouigh I haven't entered challenges to post until now, I did enter a couple of local art shows. I won 2nd place at our local Old Settlers Art Show in the 2-D category. This is a paper collage and acrylic paint piece entitled Lost Love. I also had entered it and was accepted in a juried art show whose theme was Out on a Limb. My theme is Cio-Cio San's unrequited love for Lt. Pinkerton in the Pucini opera, Madama Butterfly. She goes out on a limb waiting for his return, only to find he rejects her.
I finally had time to make some cards for family birthdays and would like to submit them for on-line challenges. I tried out some new products.
I made my first slider card. I used Taylored Expressions On the right Track-Build a Scene die for the slider. The town is a digi from Vera Lane Studio which I printed onto a card. The girl is a digi from Pixel Scrapper which I fussy cut and put on pennies for my slider. We gave our granddaughter a new bike for her birthday. I thought this was the perfect card to go with it.

For this card, it was the first time I used my Ranger Distress Oxide Inks (I know--I'm a bit behind the times.) I also used my new Tri-Blend by Spectrum Noir to color my hero, a rubber stamp from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. Words are computer generated and outlined with pen.
