Angels

This weeks challenge for the ABAA is Angels......

What a wonderful challenge.....

Music is the language of Angels.....

I have chosen to do my challenge as a picture, I have used an A4 canvas and used three different papers for the background, distressed and stamped on.... for the sides I used paints and a crackle stamp.

I used the metal for the title and the mitre head-dress.....

With the quote

"Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,

The bed be blest that I lay on.

Four angels to my bed.

Four angels round my head,

One to watch,and one to pray,

And two to bear my soul away."

Thank you to R & L once more..........

This week of all weeks I needed a challenge with a Guardian angel to watch over......

Altered Tin

Another Friday challenge for ABAA is an altered tin......Thank you to R & L

I have used a peppermint tin and used alcohol inks as a base and used distress inks on card and then stamped the images ..... then put some embellishments together using vintage photos and bits and bobs, the frame on the front is two glass squares with silver tape on the edge..... inside I have put layers of images..... and to finish I used the cropodile to make a hole in the side to add the knob....

All in all I have enjoyed the challenge....

Inchies

Phew what a busy weekend away.... Back to crafting and this weeks ABAA Friday challenge.... A set of Inchies

Well I had to do my name for the door at some point, so I thought what a good time to do it.....

I have used metal again sorry !!!!! on a 1o 1/2 X 4 piece of card for the frame, and cutting a 2 inch middle section out........ so the inch bits fit in well...

Thanks for the challenge girls....

ATC wood block

This weeks Friday challenge we used a wood block...... for the awfully big art adventure.

I used gesso to cover the block, and used expresso acrylic paint all around the edges.

Covered with a skin paper and distressed the edges again..

Used chair brads for the top one..... a piece of stamped fabric with a few bits hanging.... grungeboard and a metal handle..... with a stamped saying, one of Sir Tim's stamps, and the main picture Leanardo.

Again A big thankyou to Rosie and Linda for this wonderful challenge.

Box File

This weeks Art challenge WAS a challenge....... Finished.......

But the desk is covered in sparkles ....... I had tissue paper flying in the air wax on the iron...... paint all over my hands... I could go on but I won't , .. I made sheets of waxed tissue paper, used metal and grungeboard to embelish and a brad to hold the key.....

Inside I covered with black textured paper and used sparkle spray ( that shot everywhere) Looks better IRL..

This has turned out to be a MAGPIE Treasure Chest For Me......

I did enjoy the challenge... Thanks to R and L xx
