Altered Canvas

I altered this mini canvas and made it into a wall hanging.
I have used embossed metal which is coloured with alcohol inks and stamped the girl and coloured with distress inks.

This fits in with 2 challenges this week

Sunday Stampers is embossed and my song title is "She"
Moving Along With the Times and their theme is metal.

Pearl Anniversary

Friends of ours are going to be celebrating their 30th Wedding anniversary next month.
I have made this card using embossing folders and have made it into a tri fold card. I coloured the embossing with inks and then typed out sentiments on the PC using safmat. I finished off the front with some "pearls".




This is the inside of the card and I have added some facts about 1981 month by month.





Hope they like it!

Just For Fun - A New Way with a Stamp

Over at Just For Fun, Zoe has challenged us once again to try something new. This week she would like to see a new way with a stamp!
I have made my poppy stamp 3D. I have made it as a topper as this is going to be part of a birthday card for a work colleague.

Just For Fun - A New Format

Over at Just For Fun this week , Zoe has asked for a new format to be used. I haven't really used circles before so I had a go and ended up using it as a topper for a card. I'm still practising with tapestry stamps and think I've gone a little bit overboard on the topper but with practise it should get better. I've made a Mothers Day card as its very soon now - at the beginning of April and some of my cards have to be posted so they need to get in the post soon.

Just For Fun - A New Technique

This week at Just For Fun - Zoe has challenged everyone to use a new technique. Well I was scratching my head for this one as I haven't used any new techniques for a while. But today I have come across a couple whilst at a local craft show.

I saw a demonstration on the use of stencil brushes with distress inks and then on another stall saw that pro markers can be used to colour metal embellishments.

So here is an ATC using both of the techniques.

Just For Fun - Mixed Media

This months challenge over at Just for Fun is to try something different. This week Zoe has challenged everyone to use Mixed Media. Now I'm not too sure with this - Its to use a mix of things to produce artwork. Hope my wall hanging fits the bill.
