Another Vase

Last but not least for today, another vase I have 'altered'.

The same technique used as the other vases with handmade papers and diluted PVA, Joanna Sheen pressed flowers to decorate.

This is also for my friend for her birthday in her favourite colours, hope she likes it

Me and my Friends Book

This is a little book I made for my friend for her birthday. I used a board book I purchased from a charity shop (waste not want not!)

Covered in papers printed off the PC.

The metal tags have been stamped with black stazon and SeeDee's stamps of pawprints on it.






The next two pages have again been stamped with SeeDee's stamps and embossed to add dimension. The photograph is one that was taken at Crufts a couple of years ago showing the Judge on the left and Prince Michael of Kent looking at my friend and her dog.















These two pages show more of her dogs (Keehonds)















There are more pages not shown here with pictures of her dogs. This is the back page.
Thank you for looking, I hope she likes it

First Fat Pages

First attempt at Fat Page





Here is my first attempt at a Fat Page swap. Plain white card coloured with distress inks, tea stain and scattered straw. Stamped with unknown floral stamp and coloured with Ecoline water colours. The sleeping rabbit is an Anitas stamp on triple embossed mountboard using gold and copper embossing powders








The background for this one side is the same colours. Stamped again with an Anita's stamp and coloured with Ecoline water colours. Same triple embossed mountboard with another Anita's stamp of rabbits.

Multi ATC

Warholish ATC

I was messing about with my new alcohol inks and photo paper and decided to make an ATC in the style of Andy Warhol when he did his Monroe picture. Mine is similar ish!

I only have 3 colours at the moment Cranberry, Eggplant and Lettuce, hopefully get some more soon.

The stamped image is one I have made using my Imagepac.

February Calendar Page

While I was doing January, I thought I would get February done at the same time. Using Valentines day as my Feb. theme I cut out various hearts and sentiments from scraps of papers I had left over. The hearts I edged in gilding flakes - I love using these.

The main image is a House Mouse stamp which I think is soooo cute. The hearts again are covered in gilding flakes, I painted the mice with H2O's and Sakura Gelly roll pens for the other small bits. The picture has been matted onto gold mirri card.

Calendar Page

January 2009

Nothing like forward planning lol.

On the forum which I belong to we have a project for this year. Twelve of us make a calendar page for next year. At the end of the year, the calendars are bound and we each have a 2009 calendar with a different page made by a forum member. Thanks to Karen for such a good Idea.

This is my effort for January. Not too sure about it after seeing what other members have done, mine is totally different!!!!! I have coloured the background with Tim Holts Shabby Shutters distress inks. Stamped with Linda Lukin tree stamps and embossed over them. The 'snow' is white acrylic paint and the moon is stamped with the lid off a pot with clear embossing ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The glittery snow effect - although the camera hasn't picked it up too well, is splattered diluted PVA and silver glittery embossing powder sprinkled on while wet and heated. I have also used a light spray of Moonglow sprizers to add a touch of iridescence.

More Tesco Note Pads

Two more notepads from Tesco. The same principal applied as the other one. Both were covered with DCWV papers. The embellishments are double sided peel offs. I have never got on with these very well but decided to give them another go! This time I used gilding flakes on them and they turned out really well, so I think I will use the flakes on them in the future, glitter always falls off when I use it on them!

Centres of the flowers and butterfly and the outlines on the left one have been done using Sakura Gelly Roll pens. Again Ribbons added down the spine.

Thanks for looking.
