Westcoast Calligraphy Society Lettering Lyrics Challenge

The Westcoast Calligraphy Society is having an Instagram Challenge.  Each day there is a different Christmas carol to letter.  Because it is such a busy time of year, gift tags were suggested - quick and easy!  I forgot how much I love making tags!

I made a little video so you could see the tree tops glistening:

Firestorm

Around the time of the horrific Fort McMurray fire, I was working on Artist Trading Cards for our local Vancouver swap.  It is clear from these pictures that the fire influenced my art at that time. 

Alcohol Ink ATC's

I've been continuing to make ATC's for the Vancouver ATC Swap on Sunday.

Finishing the Grids

I was having trouble figuring out what to do with all those grids; all that paper was just too lovely to deface. (Yes, I can still hoard, even if it is cut up and glued somewhere.) Then it dawned on me that this was kind of like a sampler, or a card made with inchies. So, I decorated each rectangle on the grid separately.

Happy Independence Day to my American readers!
