Christmas Dreams for Ukraine

Have you entered this month's Customer Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?

The theme is Christmas Dreams.

With that in mind, I decided to make a card for those in Ukraine who are still having to endure so much that they should not have had to still be doing. My heart and prayers go out to them all.

 

I used one of the Sunflower images from Sunflowers for Ukraine along the Bingo card and one of the tickets from Altered Christmas Sheet. 

I sponged around all the edges before I adhered everything,

I really like how it turned out and truly hope that 2023 sees an end to the pain and destruction they are having to suffer.

Now it's your turn to show me what you can do this month - you have until the 29th to get your entry blogged and onto the blog page. Why not try an image from the Newsletter freebies as well.

It really is worth the try to have some fun and maybe win $25 to spend in the store along your way!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Be Brave #10dayartchallenge

I was invited over on Instagram to take part in the #10dayartchallenge by one of the lovely ladies that follows me, and I follow her back as well. 

Anyway, I don't normally take up the challenges, but I decided this time I would give it a go, like I have nothing else to do right! LOL, I love to create, what can I say.

So here is my Day 1.

It is another altered playing card for my collection - no theme or prompt for this one.

The lovely image I used is from Gecko Galz September 2021 Newsletter, September Glory.

Such a lovely vintage image. 

My saying is a sticker quote from Art by Marlene.

While we don't hear too much about the war going on in Ukraine lately, it is still in all our minds and the loss of lives still continuing is hard to fathom in today's world. 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art not War

Michelle Grant Designs has some new mini kits designed by Lorri Lennox and I thought this girl and saying would be good for another Ukraine page.

This time in my Art By Marlene Mini Art Journal that came in the 2021 Advent Calendar Pack.

The girl and image are from TweetHeart and I can see me playing with these a lot more.

I used Art by Marlene acrylic paints for my background and coloured the girl with my distress inks.

I pray the war ends soon and that Ukraine can rebuild!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Sunflowers for Ukraine

Gecko Galz wanted to do something to help the people of Ukraine and the good work that Samaritan's Purse does was the perfect organization to help, here is more about them:

Samaritan's Purse stands ready to respond at a moment’s notice whenever and wherever disaster strikes. We specialize in meeting critical needs for victims of conflict, disaster, famine, and epidemics throughout the world, often working through ministry partners on the ground. We provide food, water, shelter, medicine, and other assistance.

Every dollar (100%)  raised on the sale of this Sunflowers for Ukraine set will be donated to Samaritan's Purse.

Here is a card I made with one of the images....it's a small price for all of us, but a huge help for those suffering at the hands of one man! I can not even begin to image the hell the people of Ukraine are having to endure. I pray for all people in and from Ukraine and their families.

I would love to see your makes with this beautiful and worthy set.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
