bi-monthly challenge

at

The theme is anything but a card. 

Yes its cakes again from me, this time I made them because my year 11 tutor group have left to go on exam leave. So I decided to put their initials on cakes and a chocolate heart.

 I had 24 in my tutor group.
 Some of my tutees showed one of my colleagues who asked me to make some for her group of year 13 the following week

Thanks you so much for visiting

For my Trick or Treat bags I have used a Bugaboo Image

Black Cat Witch

 So what did I do

 I coloured the images using promarkers, masked off the cat, moon & star and used my brushes & inks to create the background.

I then mounted the image onto tags, stamped on trick or treat with a unity stamp and finished off with Provocraft die cut bat & spider and hand dyed string  and red stickles for the eyes .

Many thanks for visiting,

 I have decided to alter a large vitamin pot into a pen holder, and forgot to take a photo before  I took the label off 

 So what did I do

1. I stippled the pot with acrylic paint , using a shaving brush in  layers of blue for the sky & green for the ground

 2, I fussy cut 2 of the  flower shelf images from Bugaboo

then coloured them with Promarkers and Graphit pens

3.When the pot was dry I used PVA to stick the images on to the pot

 4. To Finish off I added Papermainia mini buttons to each of the flowers centres. Assorted card butterflies with pearls as their torso and finally blue ric-rak around the tub lid.

 .

Even if I say so myself the pot looks lovely.

Thanks for calling by

So what did I do

I have used the moustache stamp from the

from 
A few of my favourite things monthly kit

I stamped the image on black paper (after I had dusted it with my antistatic bag) with versamark ink then added gold embossing powder and heat embossed it.

I then cut the paper to fit my tin and mounted it.

 I used the sentiment and moustache embossed in gold on to on a Kraft tag, mounted it up on black and white baker twine and finished off with die cut.
