Challenge #115 - Sketch by Sandra

Who knew washi tape could be used in so many ways.  Backgrounds, flowers and just a piece to add a highlight to a project to name but a few.  I love the inspiration we get from seeing your wonderful projects.  As usual the Winner and Top 3 will be announced next week so become a follower and you won't miss the post.

Our sponsor for this challenge is the wonderful Heather from

Heather Valentin is creative , award winning, modern-day fantasy and whimsical artist who has displayed a dynamic and vibrant energy while painting professionally for over 18 years. 

She began to express herself creatively through movement at a very young age. 
For many years she studied dance, being drawn to forms that allowed creative self expression, all the while feeling this constant urge to create with her hands. The canvas is now her dance floor where color, beauty and drama are expressed through her every pencil sketch and brush stroke. Her subjects vary from fairies, fantasy, mermaids, vampires, dragons, wildlife, abstract and more. She is one who is inspired in a single moment. Her dreams, moods and the the unfolding beauty of the world around her is what charts her dance for the day. She is most alive when sketching and painting, creating timeless pieces that reflect her heart and soul. Drawing breathes life into her soul- it enables her to reach out and touch lives. This gives her a place in the world one character and painting at a time. 

Heather's artist portfolio has expanded to include such clients as Pepsi, Outback Steakhouse, Nabisco, Zephryhils and can now be found at Laguna Art, Third Stone Art Gallery and Sausalito Art Galleries, along with commercial and private collections across 
the globe. 

Her latest foray is to immortalize her popular drawn characters Eleanor and Pickles in a children's book of their own.

Our theme is a sketch by Sandra

Challenge #114 - Use washi tape

Once again it was a pleasure for our DT to look through the projects entered for our last challenge.  Digital images can be used in so many ways and for people who can never get a decent image from a stamp (me) a digi image is a fabulous way to go.  As usual the Winner and Top 3 will be announced next week so become a follower and you won't miss the post.

We have another DT member joining us with this challenge, please welcome Sandra.  We have been in contact with Sandra on facebook and she fits in perfectly with our awesome Design Team.

We have a lot of our regular sponsor for 2015 and a lot of new ones too.  For this challenge I would like welcome another new sponsor Sarah from 


Stampz by Star

Hello! My name is Sarah though I am commonly known by friends and online as Star. This derived back from the early days when I first began signing my artwork as Stargirl (and have ever since.)

Art has has a big influence on my life and who I am. Though I have dabbled in many styles and types discovering Japanese anime and it's art style is what renewed my vigor to draw. It helps that I'm also a complete geek ~ anime, Japanese culture, books, writing, fantasy, cartoons, music, musicals, etc.

I am not very crafty with paper scrapbooking or putting together beautiful cards and creations BUT when I discovered the world of digital stamping I was fascinated what others could do with the same art stamp. I have also been fond of inking pen drawings in my sketchbooks. I have focused a lot on my digital art and other freelance projects but digital stamps is that perfect niche for being creative and getting back to pen&ink drawings. I always look forward to see what creations others have turned my stamps into! 

Prize: choice of 3 images from the store

Theme: use washi tape









Hopefully you've will have gleaned some fabulous inspiration from out DT.  Some have used a little washi tape as an accent and some have gone all our and used lots.  I think you will agree with me that they all look fantastic.
