This week the
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge was inspired by my fellow DT member
Sandra who suggested a ticket challenge. Any type of ticket can be used in your art this week.
I was inspired to create a matchbox with a series of tickets that reside inside of the box.
I started with some mixed media papers with white paint mixed with water and splattered over the background. I let them dry and then misted over the painted surface with a mix of color shine sprays.
I used these to create the matchox, drawer and multiple tickets. I then went to town adding images, sentiments/rub-ons and white highlights.
Inside the matchbox there are a variety of tickets with fun images and different stamps.
Each ticket was inspired by images and stamps. I had fun creating a variety of different vignettes with the tickets.
One of my favorite Hero Arts stamp with the dandelions spreading their seeds (as long as it isn't in our lawn!)
I had picked out this image and found the fun sentiment from a Wendy Vecchi and couldn't resist pairing them together. Her hair reminds me of my grade school math teacher. I swear you could have put a pencil in her hair and pull it out and leave a perfect ole. She was the best math teacher I ever had and a lovely lady too!
The little girl is playing as a fairy queen with her butterfly wings and tiara.
Here is a sailor inspiring the travel ticket.
This is a back to school inspired ticket. This cutie-pie had me pulling out the ruler stencil to pair with her.
I love this little boy image and he is just too cute. I had to put him on one of my tickets.
I hope you enjoyed the ticket parade!
