The first one I have called *red sky at night*:
The background has been drawn with water soluble wax crayons in several layers. Each layer was painted over separately, and the next layer drawn onto the still damp color of the layer before. The houses were painted with black tempera onto a separate sheet, then cut out and glued on, as were the creatures with wings! I like the feeling of movement that the background gives.
The second picture is one of my wild ladies again. The roses have been stamped with a stamp from LaBlanche. I have written different rose quotes round the contours of the head.
And I made tags for 2 different challenges. The first one is for *Just for fun* where they want to see cardboard this week. As this is one of my fave materials, this was not a problem.
And the next tag is for Gingersnap Creations for the GC109 *On the Road* challenge. The lovely punky tea-pot lady stamp is from Character Constructions.
So, I think that was enough again! Have a nice day, take care and thanks for looking in!
Wow, look at that red sky - really turbulent and eerie. 'Wild Rose' is funky too!
