ITAC – Week six – Grand finale – The World

ITAC – Week six – Grand finale – The World

My last entrance for the challenge at Aall and Create.
The Challenge is called INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT OF ART & CRAFT = ITAC 2017

The theme for the last challenge is “The World” and the criterias are trying to use:

* CIRCLE(s) symbol of the globe, and of infinity
* Words for PEACE, LOVE, HARMONY or UNITY in any language
* Wire, sewing, lace, ribbon, something interlaced to symbolize interconnectedness
* WHITE color of unity and peace in the world
* And as we all are open-minded people your project could include a HOLE or something OPEN.

And I think I got them all on my last Canvas! The Open window = Hole or Open. I’ve also used lots of Prima products and the Bird stamp from Aall & Create.









And this is the continents made earlier… I’ll put them up as a group on my wall later.

Romantic butterfly card for Snip Art

Romantic butterfly card for Snip Art

Don’t hold your breath – lots of pictures today!
I’ve made a romantic card with chipboards from Snip Art.
I decided to use my lightest pink patterned papers and do much white to get the soft romantic look.

*************************

OK, idag blir det lite tjyvtjockt med bilder, hoppas det inte misstycks.
Jag bestämde mig för att köra på det romantiska stuket och letade på mina ljusaste rosa papper och kombinerade sedan detta med massor av vitt. Chipboarden jag använt är från Snip Art och här har jag målat dom i ett lager sparkling akrylfärg från Finnabairs serie.
