12 Cards of Christmas - Card 3

Card 3 aka 'Star Gazer' features a cute little puppy dog sitting up on a snowy hill and staring up at the stars that are hanging from a whimsical tree.  I decorated the inside of this card by painting a snowy looking background and using mixed media so it reads 'Let it Snow' and has a few snowflakes falling around the words; the other half of the inside has been left blank so it can be personalized.  The back of the card is done the in the same manner as all of the rest featuring my 'Handmade' stamp at the back bottom and my Oddball Art Co. logo above it.  This card as been constructed from archival quality 1/4 fold greeting card stock and painted with the finest quality in Lixuitex acrylic paints and the mixed media inside was done with some really cute winter scrapbooking stickers I came across the other day.  Gotta love that scrapbooking isle! (The funniest thing about that statement is that I have never scrapbooked in my life but I have spent more money in that isle than you could likely imagine. lol)  Anyhoo, here are the pics of this beauty of a Christmas card I have created........





Come back tomorrow to see what I come up with for card #4!

Ride The Rainbow

'Ride The Rainbow'
12" x 16" x .5"
Acrylic on stretched canvas
I actually started this piece over a month ago but never got around to finishing it til now, reason being the recent exhibition.  I am glad I finished it though because it really turned out nice.  Although as usual the pic does it no justice.  I am really not sure why that keeps happening. In real life my paintings are so much more vibrant in colour with a nice glossy finish but you just don't see that in the pics.  This painting was another attempt of mine at an abstract piece and I think it went over well.
This piece is available for sale through my Etsy Shop just click HERE!
