Challenge 106 - Distress it

It was wonderful to see all your "Things with wings" project.  It's just a shame so many can't be included in the selection for Winner and Top 3 because they don't follow the rules.  Fortunately we still had plenty that did follow the rules and the Winner and Top 3 will be announced next week as usual so make sure you're a follower and you won't miss the post.

For this challenge we have the wonderful Lizzy Love from
Lizzy has always loved the stranger, quirkier side of life and that is exactly what she loves to create. Her art described as a perfect combination of sweet and sour that glitters up the grunge! As a lover of all things whimsical, kawaii and creepy cute, she throws in some Pastel Goth with a touch of glam, punk & rockabilly pinup!
She has certainly never been a mainstream type of girl and definitely won't fit into your stereotypical cookie cutter artists role;  but rather she finds beauty in the truly unique, big eyed creepy little cuties with a bittersweet sadness. She is never truly happier then when she is in her art studio painting or sewing, creating a whimsical dream world easily recognizable as her signature style of creepy yet cute, all the way from the haunting darkness to the rainbowtastic, Lizzy’s creations are lovingly sprinkled with a heartbreaking sweetness.
Growing up a child of the 80's, pop rocks princess, with an extreme fondness for anything candy coated, Kawaii Kitten & Ziggy Stardust, all of which had a major influence in the work that she is creating today.  Lizzy employs many different mediums when she creates, anything from mixed media painting to sewing with many different textiles, the end result always being the same;  A whimsical dream world filled with big eyed beauties, creepy little cuties and quirky monsters of all shapes and sizes.

Challenge 105 - Whimsical with Wings

It was great fun to look through your "at the cinema" projects, we have such talented followers.  Once our DT member has chosen the Winner and Top 3 they will be posted next Sunday.

For Challenge 105 we have the wonderfully talented Mitzi from

Mitzi is a Colorado-based fantasy artist. Originally from Japan, her art is influenced by the vintage shojo manga she grew up with, as well as the classic art forms such as tattoo art and woodblock prints of her native country. Her fantasy art subjects range from cute and whimsical to dark and macabre, and everything in between. Majority of her Aurora Wings digital stamps are made from the line art of her fantasy illustrations, giving them a uniquely distinct look of flowing lines with high level of detail. Most are ink & pen traditional drawings, which are either colored free-hand in Corel Painter or traditionally with watercolor. Her Etsy shop, Aurora Wings, offers digital stamps, prints, ACEOs, coloring books, and originals.
