M for Mercy

Isa set us the most cruel challenge for M. No stamps!!!! and pink and brown colours. Oh my, I thought, but it encouraged me to have a ripping time (sorry!) and use some papers. I feel that this could do with some rub-on swirls, but I don't have any. I daren't draw them - I'm bound to go wrong!
I couldn't decide between Mercy and merci, but in the end made her into another Lady of Virtue. ---

Charity

The Wednesday Stamper caused me a great deal of thinking. The challenge was ATC Triptych, using any theme you like. As I neglected 'Charity' in my 'ladies of virtue' series, here she is now, a little darker than in real life!


I firstly made a background with the H2Os, and then stamped on top. I sponged the edges with the dabber, and spread the paint around with my finger.

H for Hope

This is the 3rd of my ladies of virtue, made for Isa's alphabet challenge.



I then assembled them all together to make one card. Because the image below is a photo, not scanned, the colours have gone much brighter. The above is truer to the original.

For materials see G for Grace. I have also added Versacolor raspberry ink.

G for Grace

Isa's next challenge is to use the letter G. I have chosen not to use the extra 2 options, as this is the 2nd in the series of my three ladies of virtue.

I was thrilled today as I was selected to receive Isa's 'F' tag. Bloggers are such generous people! Great excitement yet again in my house!

F for Faith

Isa's challenge was for the letter F, and could include option a) a vintage image, and b) Isa's paper towel technique.

Well, I did try the paper towel but perhaps the recycled ones aren't as effective. You can barely see it on the scan, but there are lots of pieces of it.

I printed the image onto tracing paper because I don't have any plain vellum. ---
