Mini-Challenge: She

5/23/2017

0 Comments

 
The mini-challenge for May over on More Than Words is "use the word 'She' on a card, tag or ATC". 

I started by looking for the word in my stash of stamps, stickers and stencils and found some in Tim Holtz' new Idea-ology collection "Clippings". The one I chose drove my design.

First, I took the Heidi Swap Torn Tag I made here, and mounted it on a leather-textured tan cardstock:

I selected a little girl from the Idea-ology collection "Paper Dolls" and tinted her with Distress Markers:

Note --- she is wearing a shooting jacket and a holster! Little Annie Oakley, maybe? I took it to be so!
I mounted the little girl, my sayings and the tag on a small notecard:

    Products used in the making of this card were:
    • Inks: Heidi Swamp Color Shine sprays "Georgia Peach", "Gold Lame", "Mint Green", "Chartreuse", "Tropicana Teal", "Amethyst"; Distress Markers "Tattered Rose", "Spun Sugar", "Tea Dye", "Tumbled Glass"
    •  "Chipped Sapphire"; Distress Ink "Old Paper"
    • Papers: "natural" pre-folded notecard; scraps of white paper and card, leathered tan and rust card; Paper Studio 5.25 x 2.625 white tag
    • Embellishments: Idea-ology "Paper Dolls" (TH93555), "Small Talk" (TH93193), "Chit Chat" (TH92998), and "Clippings Stickers" (TH93583
    • Adhesives: Viva Las Vegas "Miracle Tape", EK Tools 3-D Dots; Ranger Collage Glue Stick

      Author

      Born in New Jersey, I grew up in Southeastern Ohio. Attended university at Bowling Green State University (B.Sci  in biological science, 1964), University of Southern California (M. Sci in biological science, 1967) and University of Florida (Ph. D in zoology, 1971).
      Worked in environmental consulting for a little more than a decade and then seven years as an instructor in biological science at various community colleges in California and Texas. Moved to London in 1992, then Beijing (1996) and Saudi Arabia (1998), before returning to NW Ohio in 2002. I am currently living in NW Ohio with my husband and three Bombay cats.  I love to read (mystery, science fiction, history) and stitch (have done crewel, currently experimenting with free embroidery and needlepoint but blackwork and cross stitch are my main genres); have been known to knit; and now I'm heavily into papercrafting!
      Retired upon the return to the US so lots of time for our hobbies...
