Stick it Down Sketch

My card

You have until the end of the month to play along with both of these challenges.

Howe Caverns

Howe Caverns is a great place to visit.  It is located in central New York.  Here is the LINK.   i have been there a couple of times.  This photo is from our visit in 2002, when my college kids were in elementary school.  I used a circle stencil with some lavender paint.  Then I inked my page suing stamps.  I added a few cardboard buttons, some gems, and a key.  I made a title with a flowery ticket.  The photo of my son was from the back as he is looking into the cave.   

This layout has been entered into the following challenges:

• Creative Inspiration May Mini Crop
• Studio Challenges May 20th Tic Tac Toe 

Black and White with one other color

I created this LO of my daughter with a photo of my daughter when she was in England.  

I used the challenge from ARTastic Challenge Blog.  Here is the challenge photo.  

This inspiration artwork by New Zealand artist Karen Neal called Poppyfields.
