Thanks for the inspriation, Lori with the Garnet Hill bedding. I loved looking at all the pattern and color of the quilt! In the end, I chose to limit my color palette to the blue/browns.
I knew right away I'd go the inchie route for todays challenge. And Martha S's mail art punch came in handy with my scraps of paper. I stamped Stampers Anonymous artist definitions onto GP white cs (TH di brushed corduroy) embossing in clear. I arranged my little squares of color, texture and pattern as a frame. I added Above the Marks' (I think) fairy to the left side. She is inked with ColorBox peacock gold and embossed in clear. I used the Spicia clear glitter pen on her wings and colored her body and dress with Copics. This panel is mounted onto unknown card stock and distessed. As a finishing touch, I circled the word artist.
So tell me something about what being an artist means to you. And whether you paint with ink, oils, cloth, or yarn or even words...stay in the lines or not...we are all ARTISTS!

Love those squares! Quite artistic, I think. I was told as a child (by an art teacher, that I would never be able to do art(whatever she meant??). Everytime I put together colors that make me feel good, I know she was wrong. TFS your art with each card you make.
