Yet more keyrings

As you can tell I am really enjoying doing these!!!

Four covered with alcohol inks and stamped and one triple embossed and stamped.





Chocolate Biscuit Tin


My daughter bought this tin home from work, unfortunately empty! I loved the black images on the top so rather than cover the whole tin I just hi-lighted them with glitter glue. Decorated the edges with ribbon and hand made punched flowers from an X-cut punch and the top flowers were made with a Sizzix Bigz die, cutting lots of layers from different papers and vellum. Added ribbons and fibres.


Two more vases

My daughter bought these for me from a charity shop. She wanted one as a gift for someone so I decorated them both so she had a choice.

Done the same as previous vases with Joanna Sheen dried flowers to embellish.

Three more keyrings

Three more keyrings

I am really enjoying doing these, here's 3 more two have been coloured with alcohol inks and stamped and one had been triple embossed and an image stamped into it. Don't know what I am going to do with them all though lol





Altered Tin

This was a plain gold coloured tin my Husband bought from Tesco. It contained Christmas Candles but they had been reduced. He bought 4! He figured I could do 'something' with them lol.

I coloured the tin using Alcohol inks and silver mixative. Added ribbon around the side of the lid and base of the tin. Die cut large flowers and punched out lots of small ones to decorate and used a large brad in the centre of the big flower, added bows.

I think it's turned out ok. Just got to find a use for it now!!!!!

Altered Domino Key Ring

My first altered keyring.

I was sent a gorgeous domino keyring for my birthday plus a couple of blank ones to alter for myself.

My first attempt. I have colured it using alcohol inks and silver mixative and stamped a rose bud image and coloured in the buds using permanent pen with a contrasting colour.

I am really pleased with my first effort.

Final Frog


This one is simply done by stamping my image on some 'water' printed vellum. Again coloured in with Sakura Gel pens. The image was also stamped on white atc as a background under the vellum and attached with brads.

I think it has come out quite effectively even though it is very simple to do.
