ITAC – Week six – Grand finale – The World

My last entrance for the challenge at Aall and Create.

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.

ITAC – Week Three – Oceania

ITAC – Week Three – Oceania

My third entrance for the challenge at Aall and Create.

The theme for the third challenge is “Oceania” and the criterias are trying to use:

* Patterns inspired by traditional symbols (Maori tattoos, Dots/dashes of aboriginal Arts…)
* Think Monochromatic black and white or think colors of the Earth.
* Some sort of organic or natural material(s) (earth, stone, bone, bark, wood, fibres…)

There was also a twist that the piece should tell a story. Mine is kind of symbolic with the heart, the blue (ocean) and the wood (land).
​
