THE WORLD DID NOT END!!

Good news, right???

It is time for the weekly newbie party at Debbie Doo's Blogging and Blabbing!  Don't know Debbie?  Click the link and check her out!!  She is a "newbie's" dream and a first rate blogger!!! 

I am showing something I made for ArtChix Studio's bi-weekly challenge.  The challenge is to use at least one postage stamp on your project.  I have several ArtChix collage sheets, and I used some of those images.  I can't be sure they are all stamps though.  But, I can say that at least one is, and the others are from the BonVoyage collage sheet, so they may be stamps, or tickets, I can not say.  As soon as I saw the theme, I thought twinchies!!  Twinchies are little pieces of art, that are only 2 inches by 2 inches. 

I made 5 of them, because they are so small.  And, I like odd numbers!  I started with cardboard that I always have.  I hoard cardboard!!  Love to use it!!  Anyway, I cut the cardboard, and painted it with some watered down cadmium yellow paint.  Then, I attached the stamps.  I then used my fine tipped Sharpie to add some lines across them.  Like a used postage stamp.  But, I had to have more.  So, I used my white Sharpie paint pen and made dots.  Still not enough, so I wrapped them with some pink bakers twine!!

Here are a few close ups.


The Eiffel Tower one is my Favorite!!
