2017 went by so fast. I had to face many challenges and my creative interests took a back seat.
This year I hope I will not be missing out on these. I am also hoping to take part in some arts and crafts challenges and to start off here is the first one:
This is the pick a stick ATC challenge for January 2018 hosted by Shel C. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Mk4CqFkBg for details. This is the first time I'm taking part in an art / crafts challenge.
Steps to create the ATC (artist trading card)
1. grimy
2. cat
3. pad
wildcard: curl
colour: white
So here goes:
"Tread softly like a cat" is something I tell myself each day when I am walking around at work. Some people walk around so noisily It also reminds me of my karate days when my instructor would say to us - land softly like a cat.
Hope you enjoyed this.
Have an awesome week.

Steps to create the ATC (artist trading card)
1. grimy
2. cat
3. pad
wildcard: curl
colour: white
So here goes:
Step 0 - prepared the background using gelatos and glad (plastic) wrap.
This is a technique I enjoy doing.
Step 1: added some paint to make it look a little grimy
Step 2: drew the cat - a challenge but it didn't turn out too bad
Step 3a: added the frond as curls. didn't turn out as I wanted but ..
Step 3b: inked the borders with a blue ink pad
Final step: add some text
colour white - frond and the labels

Wow! That's a creative and a lovely artwork. Will look out for your creative and artistic posts, Suzy! All the best for your challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Suzy! I want to try that technique on cloth and see if it works.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you begin Jan with determination! Looking forward to seeing your creative work!
Loved that cat! I think she is also curious to find out what the curls are all about. Great job with the prompts/leads Suzy!
ReplyDeleteI love the cat image you used and the pretty background. For many years I was in a rubber stamp group called Crazy for Cats Card Club.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good! I'm the worst at DIY, I wish I did better.

That's a cool cat card. Your technique with gelatos and plastic wrap is intriguing. I must go learn more.
