Those of you who know me, know that one of my goals for the new year was to try submitting a piece of artwork for publication. I finally got my stuff together and figured I would give it a try.
It was for one of my Favorite Magazines.
Stampers' Sampler
One of the challenges was to do something creative with a
Hot Air Balloon Template.
They ask that you send a self addressed stamped post card
if you would like to know if your artwork was received.
Below is the envelope that I enclosed. I decided to make it
"Heathery" by stamping it with some of my hand carved stamps made from images I drew.
The balloon is the template that was provided by Stampington and Company. I just added a little to it so it was easier to cut out with my Silhouette SD.
I used GIMP to paint the background for The Hot Air Balloon above. I used Fired Brick distress ink by Ranger for the stamping and inking of the edges. The envelope was stamped with my images using Ranger's Peeled Paint. I distressed all around the edges with the same two colors.
I received the envelope back. I will take a photo of it.
I won't know whether or not my piece will be published for a while. LOL.
Either way...doesn't matter...at least I sent something in!
Thanks for visiting!
Hugs!
Good luck...keeping my fingers crossed!
