Alphabet Swap - Y & Z

So soon have we reached the end of the Alphabet ...... hope there's another one coming up, maybe techniques, colours, subjects .... I don't know ..... you think of something!  lol

Y is for Yacht ..... nope!  not this one!!

I painted this, again from the web, but not looking good! 

I outlined the sails .... still not good...... abandon ship!

Y is for Yucca and Yule



I found a window backdrop on the web and sized it down before printing, then printed it out followed by printing the yucca plant in pale grey shades.  I coloured in the image using Inktense pencils then gave it a waterwash.  Once it had dried I fussy cut the image and adhered it to the greeny painted basecard. 




I received this card by return and am blown away!   

How clever!

A yule time fairy with golden hat and wings.  The letter buttons are a great finish.

Thank you Kate.

Z is for ZigZag and Zentangle
I thought of Zentangle than decided that I'm not really that good but I do have a zigzag stencil given away free with a magazine some time ago .......
I used my DO inks to create the background for this card and then stamped the sentiment onto the pattern, once the ink was dry of course!
I used one of the gnome stamps, colouring his hat using the stencil and watercolouring the rest of him.  
I fussy cut the image and used a 3D sticky pad to attach him to the card.

I received this gorgeous Zentangled card by return so am REALLY pleased that I didn't try it.  

This is a brill example of the Art of Zentangling.

Thank you Mel.
