New Challenge Blog

There is a new challenge blog on the net that appeals to me for its name (Art With No Boundaries), theme and the beautiful art work I've seen so far: http://www.artwithnoboundaries.blogspot.com/. It is simply a way to share art work created around a theme, and they have even let me use some art I didn't create originally for this challenge!

The current theme is Ocean, Aquatic, Nautical, and I made this Artist Trading Card recently using some salt and watercolour backgrounds:

A Card with a Purpose

This card serves two purposes, and those who know me well will understand my drive for purpose. 

1. It uses a brand new stamp I bought as a souvenir on my recent trip to Hawaii so that I don't feel so guilty about buying yet another stamp, and
2. It will also become a page in my design journal for "vertical images".    (See this post for more on my new series of design journals.)

Under the Sea

Here are some ATC's I'm working on for the next Vancouver Artist Trading Card swap:

These started out as salt and watercolour backgrounds, and I added the embossed sand, stamping and other collage elements.  Only 19 more to make!
