IKES WORLD CHALLENGES - ANIMALS

DOGGIES AND KITTIES

Who doesn't like one or the other.
Well, I guess there are allergies...I'm so sorry 😥

Ike LOVES kitties...check out her other Challenge, link on the sidebar.
You will have so much fun, seeing all kinds of fancy shmancy cats!

In the meantime, I've created a piece of art for Ike that has both "woofers and meowers."

Pop over to Ike's World Challenges (here) and "be inspired" by Ike's art images and the Designer's creations, also Ike's store (here).

All the best for 2019!


OH CHRISTMAS TIME...OH CHRISTMAS TIME... IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGES

TIS THE SEASON TO BE....

And indeed, this is exactly what many people are doing at this time of year...figuring out a way "to be" amidst the "season for treason" in shopping malls, roadways, and of course, my fav - AMAZON!  (little shout out there!)

Ike's challenge for December is "It's Christmas".

Well, in my family - it is a "It's Chriskwanzmakkah"  as we have every celebration going on in this household and every representative thereof.  It is simply joyous!

So for my card, as my son calls it - "Gallow Humour" I've created a little bit (oh, I mean a lot) off the edge card for Ike.

Pop over to Ike's Store to see her many digital art pieces.  You will defo find a little something to use in your art this season!  Even if you chose a little bwahahaha like me.

Enjoy the Season of Joy Friends!

Best,
Samara

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - Christmas in July

Christmas in July is a popular theme.
In sewing, in drawing, in artform.

I imagine we all [think] want to be organized and not in the rush of the Season.

Well, at IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE art is ready!

Hop over to Ike's Store; you will find a lot of Christmas there!

Cheers!
Samara

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - MONOCHROME

Pinks, Fushia, Baby Soft Pink - YUMMY!

I have used IKE'S "Cute Fairy", which you can get at IKE'S STORE (here).  The image is just so adorable, and I am not a cutsie image person at all, that I could not help myself.  I had to do a few images and art from this.  2 more to come!

But in the meantime, I wanted to get these up so you could see just what is happening over at IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE BLOG.

Be sure to go over and grab your freebie, something IKE is always generous as can be with!

Enjoy.
















and another image coming up this week....

CHALLENGES ENTERED:

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - Photo Inspiration

Little Red Riding Hood vs the Easter Bunny!

Loving Ike's Image - Little Red Riding Hood.
I couldn't resist asking Peter Rabbit to come to her party!

The Challenge this month is a Photo Inspiration.
Lovely Colors!



I have been using my homemade (4 years ago!) Gelli Plate and have made a Gelli Journal for all the pieces I create.  Gelli creating is a great way to boost the creating mojo.  It can be as messy and as random as possible.  No judgy self, no shame, no blame. I really loved when I thought of this, as my Gelli Images were paper clipped all over my studio and have now become organized and my new background papers. When I saw the colors for this Challenge, one of the Gelli Prints I did a few months ago fit perfectly.  I might say that 3/4 of my Gelli Journal use these colors...my favs.

Little Red Riding Hood can be found at Ike's Store (here).  Take a peek a boo.  There will be far more than Little Red Riding Hood that captures your attention.  So shop on!

Take a gander over to Ike's World Challenge site.  You will find a freebie and lots of great inspiration for your art.

Happy Bunny Hopping!

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - MOVIE MADNESS

MOVIE MADNESS


Outlander

The best!
I first saw it on Netflix and loved it, binging watching it.
Then, Season 2, I watched 2 episodes and NADA!
Each time I was going to cry, feel so sad, laugh - BAAM!
Commercial!

So no way.
I LOVED the emotion of this Series.
Thus, I patiently await Series two on
YAY NETFLIX!

Take a look at this and the other DT members inspiration for MOVIE MADNESS at IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE BLOG.

And, purchase one of IKE'S great images at IKESART.COM.

See you next time!

Blessings,
Samara












HEY! HEY! HEY!

GREAT NEWS!

I am very excited to tell you that IKEsART is going to be published in the March/April edition of Through The CraftRoom Door Magazine as the Featured Digi Artist :-D :-D

Friend, mentor and all round groovy chick IKE or IKESART.COM is going to be showing some of her images in a TTCR!  This has always been one of my favs, due to the runners of the mag being so kind, balanced and authentic.

I HOPE you will pop over to IKESART.COM to see Ike's Work, perhaps purchase one/some images and to give IKE kudos at Ike's World Challenge Blog.

YAYAYAYAYA  IKELLA!

Below is an image I created as a background to honor Ike's Art!
Peace,
Samara





I am so sorry that the digital pastel colors don't show up on my journal background.  But I hope you can appreciate Ike's Art anyway....





On the base background I used Ken Oliver Color Burst
Then Dyan Waverly stencils
Then Painter's Textured Grout
Then Tim Holtz stencils
Then Caran D'Ache Pencils
Then Kelly Creates Markers and Pitt Pens
I used a Stencil (which I honestly do not remember where I got it) for the uper right web
I then sprayed with Krylon
