I covered a lot of ground today. Three challenges...the tea party for Clint, the sketch and the first challenge of ABC19-A is for avocado. It's all about colors this go-around.
It's been rather fun and stimulating to pack up my art stuff and find things I forgot about. I know I have too much but when I find things that I obviously thought I needed, I want to use them. The olive vine LuminArt has a sponge applicator but I couldn't get enough to squeeze through so I painted it on some mixed media paper. Splattered with some of the bronze spray. Found a package of paste paper I purchased from Etsy a long time ago, used that for the black accents. The owl is actually a round sticker that I cut a bit smaller so it wouldn't cover up the paste paper. Computer generated sentiment for Clint's belated birthday card.
I thought the olive vine LuminArt was close to avocado, especially the inside of it. The outside is very dark green, sometimes black, so that's why I chose the paste paper. I have a lot of the Fabriano card bases that I want to use up.
Thanks for all these challenges...I'm having fun creating with found things. At some point, all my stuff will get packed up but I have plenty of time, still purging. I'm now concentrating on my art collection, oh woe is me.

You certainly were busy creating today and if this card is anything to go by, your efforts were amazing! I love the doodles and the texture, and the fun of this owl card!

Love your paste paper pieces. That is something I need to try again when I have time. Super card. Love your own and the green embossed woodland. Hearing tawny and Scops owls at night at the moment, but doubt if I'll be lucky enough to glimpse either of them.
