Another "Limited Supply Card"

Here is another card I made at our cottage this last weekend with limited supplies.
It may be a challenge to create with limited supplies but I think it makes us more creative.
Does it make me want to get rid of my overflow of supplies....NEVER.
 I coloured her with my Copic markers.
See that little dragonfly under her braid?
That was an oops. When I stamped this image I got some ink on the side of the stamp and didn't check it before I stamped (I never check).
I didn't really want to fussy cut her out, so I thought I would try and draw a dragonfly out of my smudge. I figured what did I have to lose, if it looked like crap, I'd fussy cut the image out.
I also drew in the grass.
                                     
 I added some sparkle to the dragonfly's wings. You can't really tell in the pictures though.
Onto My Day:
It was unexciting as usual.
I worked most of the day. Watched a few YouTube videos as I worked.

I was planning on working on my page for the HeArt journal challenge. But I am stumped. I don't like the challenge this week. It is to use a magazine photo of a head and draw the rest of the body. I have seen these done and it freaks me out.
Wish me luck with this challenge I need it.

Hope you all had a creative Wednesday.

Tracy :)

  1. Hi Tracy! Love your card!! (and how you fixed that little "oops"!).. As for the art challenge, I think it sounds like fun! I'm working on an art challenge here, but it's not quite as specific. I have to paint an art journal page using anything I want, but NO BRUSHES! So-ooooo.. What was I doing tonight? Picking and scrubbing paint out of my fingernails! EW!! (But I have to admit, a little fingerpainting was kinda fun! I don't know WHEN I last did THAT!)... Have a good night! ~tina

  7. I always get stressed when I make an oops and then I remind myself that this is why I love this craft so much...there is ALWAYS a way to fix it! Lol I like how you tied in the dragon fly on the green paper too. As for the journal, maybe you should take a humorous approach. Try and find a zombie head or something . Lol
