Arty girlz challenge 'Inspired'

Over at the ARTYGIRLS this week our challenge is to choose a blog we like and without copying exactly deliver a piece of art we have been inspired by.
The person I have chosen to be tonight Matthew is... oops, sorry, wrong programme..lol

The person I have chosen is Kris'....I first found Kris in May '08 when I was blog hopping and loved her work soooo much, how lucky was I that she was giving 3 of her painted ATC's away I asked for one of them, very soon it arrived in the post and I added it to my collection with great PRIDE.

Thank you Kris I will always treasure the above ATC. x

However for the challenge I have been inspired by another piece of her fabulous work, a very romantic pink canvas she has posted on her blog on the 23rd Oct. over HERE

I searched for a romantic flowing dress which i picked up for a song from Dolce Gabbana, and went from there and as you all know I love painted circles on some of my work so this was right up my street.

This is my version of Kris' truely creative piece... T H A N K Y O U Kris.

Sadly her head and halo are not fixed to her body as iI would like, I had them set out ok before gluing them down and would you believe on this occasion the glue stuck immediately and it was impossible to remove and reposition her.

Never mind she is still going on my wall :)) I like her.

The paper used over the canvas is from the PM 'simply elegant' pack and the really lovely gold embossing powder is one of Debbie Moore's.

The paper ribbon that sits along the lower edge of the canvas came in a RAK from Linda Vincent..thanx L.

Thanks for the challenge Girlz I really enjoyed it.

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for looking.

the awfully big art adventure and the daring card makers

Here at last is my 3D house for The Awfully Big Art Adventure challenge for Linda and Rosie, sorry it's late but I had to wait for my DGD to take the photos for me..I have about 24 of them as some of you know she is putting together her port folio for next Sept.

I have also been told by a few readers that I should enter it for this weeks challenge over at 'The Daring Card Makers' click on HERE and see some other gorgeous Halloween goodies.... great Ideas ready for next year.

The house started it's days as a box of washing machine tablets and possibly one of the best boxes I have recycled as it is so strong.... only problem if you like to cover it in patterened paper and as most sheets are 12x12 they wouldn't be big enough to do it in one piece, luckily this one needed to be plain black and so I cut out the pattern from an A3 white paper and then painted it.

All images are that of Digi scrapping Queen Kate Hadfield except the small bat and the spiders which were part of a Halloween RAK from Jaqi. The lettering I cut.

The 3D Haunted House was recycled into a 'Halloween trick or treat box' for my youngest DGS.
