Mid-Month Inspiration April

Hi Friends,

I am here to share another inspiration for our April Challenge: "Use Animals + Give Them Wings". i.e. you need to use an animal that does not originally have wings and add wings to them.


I have created a fridge magnet for this challenge using a digital stamp for mid-month inspiration.

TTC: Use Animal + Wings - Fridge Magnet

I colored a coaster using Ranger Dylusion Paints. Thereafter I colored the cat digi (from Opal Manor) using water-color markers and fussy cut the image. The wings and wand were hand-drawn. Once the paint was dry on the coasted, I distressed the edges using Ranger Black Archival Ink and stamped the quote. I adhered the digi and finished the piece by adding clay stars. Finally, I added magnets at the back to convert it into a Fridge Magnet.

I hope you are all inspired by this cute magnet to take part in our challenge.

The last date for participation is 30th April. To know more about the rules, click here.

Love,
Dr. Neha Sanwalka Rungta

You all have been a great support in getting us to this milestone and hence  thanks to each one of you  who takes time out to particpate in our challenges.

Coming back to this month's challenge, we decided that in this crazy weather where heat is on a rise we need some fun to happen and definitely  need to feel some high spirits by spreading our wings!!!

This month we want you all to use an animal/animals in your project and give them wings (please note: insects/bugs/butterflies and birds DO NOT qualify as animals. However, their wings do qualify to be used on the animal/animals).



For this month we have Hemali Shah as our GDT and you have to see her inspiration to believe us when we say, she just amazed us!!  Do visit her blog to see how she created this inspiration and also to relish  her other projects. She has used an existing toy and given it wings in the mixed media style. We are floored by the textures and the colour combo !!!





Tejal's slider card has us stoked !! She has very creativitely used butterfly wings in her project. Have a look.




Neha has a lovely art journal page with a great mesage in it.



Saumya has a sweet and cute CAS card. The vellum wings  add a omp to the project!!
