I'm so honored to be hosting for the second time this week at Our Creative Corner!
I've chosen faces as our focus. Show us what you’ve got… whether you like vintage ladies in lace or fresh and funky kids…. steampunk engineers or shabby chic chicks…. even photos of yourself or your family. Please show us your favorite faces this week.
You can stamp, draw, paint, download them.... there are countless options! Whatever your style may be, I bet faces have played a part of your artwork at some point.
This beautiful girl is my niece Jessica. She's just started college and has a great future ahead of her. I matched her up with two of my favorite face stamps , a Hero Arts script stamp, and a Catslife Press sentiment.
All the paper is manila inked with mustard seed, rusty hinge, and black soot distress inks. The large border stamp at the bottom is by Stampers Anonymous. I've used one of Tim Holtz's fragment tags over the small face, and two border punches (EK success). The wooden gear is an eBay find.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend and that you'll join us in our faces challenge at Our Creative Corner this week... it's open till midnight on Friday, October 28th. All are welcome.
