Inching Artists - Eye Spy

I had trouble with the theme at Inching Artists this week - "Eye Spy". But I was determined to participate before the theme changes tomorrow so decided to stop obsessing about doing something interesting and just get on with doing something! Originally I was going to do the keyhole thing but couldn't find a stamp (or image) small enough to fit on the one inch square. Then I was going to do a set of four different eyes but I smudged most of the others. You know what it is like when you decide to just casually wipe a spot and then you realise you have just transferred the entire image onto your finger! What is even worse is doing it repeatedly...

The image is one of four eyes on the Postmodern Design cube and it is stamped in black on dark blue cardstock that has been coloured with Moon Glow's Starburst Stain in Tibetan Poppy Teal - a beautiful colour, if very smudgeable!

Think Monday Think ATC - Moon & Stars

The theme at Think Monday Think ATCs is "Moon & Stars" this week.

I had fun making the background on this one but most of the effects don't show up in the scan - one of the most frustrating parts of using iridescent colours is that the iridescence isn't visible in scans! Anyway the background is a dark but bright blue acrylic glaze with a spray of Moon Shadow Mist in gold, some blobs of a blue Starburst Stains and a text stamp. I've used a plastic "jewel" moon and some sequin stars as well as mini letter tiles from Collections.
