Mixed Bag of Nuts

Joined a new internet art group called Bella Creations and  I am having  a wonderful time submitting artwork to their numerous February challenges. They have many cool groups like one for tags and book marks , one for swaps , one for cards....you get the idea.  My creations for these challenges are a mixed bag of nuts with different themes, colors combinations and objects. Thought I'd share them with you.

The first is a called "February Bella Muse" where we were supplied with a vintage image of a sweet young girl. The image called out for sugar and spice and everything nice with sweet pink and  an eyelet edge. Tried something new by lacing poka dot ribbon through the paper eyelet. I do like the effect.

The second is "February Tres Chic"  where we had to use the colors creme, pink, and turquoise and add flowers of some kind, ribbon or lace, and a pearl here and there. This is one of my favorite color combination which  I used  for my last "BIG" birthday. I also tried a new glue stamp pad and sprinkled it with turquoise glitter. It worked like a dream.

The last was to create a bookmark for the Bella Creation "Oh La La Group" using this rabbit image with a themes around Valentines Day or the Chinese New Year's colors of red and yellow. I put all these things together and added the love of books. Made two different bookmarks and I've shown you both sides. After I made these noticed that Gingersnaps creation had a Charm challenge running  (GS#90) and now I can use these charmed bookmarks for that too. Well that's my progress this week. Artfully yours....
