Combi Camping - On the Road - Brighton Beach Huts

 

All aboard, off we go on the start of our virtual trip around WA.  We are heading to Brighton Beach to check out those beach huts.

So I cut the shapes with the TH tiny houses die.  I cut them out of corrugated to get the ridges.  Then gave them a coat of white powertex.

Used acrylic paints in various bright colours to decorate them.

Whilst they were drying off I created some texture with kitchen roll on a plank of wood.  This time I used the yellow powertex.

Once dry I added some small and then medium sand balls.

And once everything was dry I used pigments and varnish to colour it and bring out the textures.

I mounted the houses on the sand strip.

And added a house number.

Green Oriental Style Tags

I decided to have another go at Tracie's double window tags, but this time tried out an oriental theme.

Once the base tags were made I got out some embellishments and started to play around with them.

I only slightly veered off the original layout, and glued everything down.

Loving these window tags. There is so much going on.

In the process of rounding the corners I managed to break another punch today, my corner rounder! It just jammed.

I've had a hell of a game getting hold of Zutter to replace it as it has a lifetime warranty.

The inner tag pulled out of the window.

And tag number two, I added some washi tape to the bottom of the smaller tag.

Removing the smaller tag from the window pocket.

And finally the smaller tag pulled all the way out.

And the two tags together with the smaller tags removed.

And I also covered the backs.

These are my day 8 tags towards the #FABtag30day challenge.

Vintage Double Window Tags - Day 7

After watching Tracie's video I decided to have a go at creating some windows myself but unfortunately I broke my 2" circle punch in the process, so had to go with an oval instead!

I was lazy and used pen around the edges to create faux stitching and I didn't fancy that oval either.

And the inner tag pulled out.

And tucked back inside the window.

And the second vintage tag.

And smaller tag pulled out to expose the window.

And with the smaller tag going back inside the window tag.

And both tags together with half the windows showing.

These are my day 7 tags for the #FABtag30day challenge.

Mini House Swap

Over on a Facebook group I'm involved in I hosted a mini house swap. The criteria was three colours, wings and script / lettering. So using T!m's tiny houses sizzix die, I made this.

This is the other side and it has now been received by my swap person.

T!m's Tiny Houses

I was looking through my ice cream boxes this morning and found all these images that I stamped a couple of years ago when we went to a workshop in the Peak District. So I decided to put some of them to use. He is my favourite Teesha Moore stamp, unfortunately, I don't own him - yet!!!

And this is the back, again another image brought back from the Peak District.

We also stamped some images in paint onto pieces of fabric. This is the image I used to make my Andy Warhol pages. Again, unfortunately I don't own this stamp, but I'd sure like to. This was sewn onto the cardboard using the sewing machine.

And I think this image was one that Linda bought for me in a pack for my birthday, but it was from James who runs the workshops. Again I used a zig zag stitch to sew it onto the cardboard.

These are the fronts of the houses.

And these are the backs of the houses.

And finally, these are the roofs. 

The backgrounds were painted with white gesso, modeling paste was put through various stencils and DecoArt multi surface satin paints were used to colour them once they had dried. I then swiped black stazon over the top to hi-light the modeling paste. I also added some extra stamping using PaperArtsy mini stamps. 

Shrine using T!m's house die

I decided to try and make some moulds from the wooden wings I'd order recently and then I put some clay in them and they turned out okay. As they are only very thin they didn't take very long to dry and I also put them out in the sun. The shrine shape is actually the bigger of T!m's houses with a panel cut out the front. I used DecoArt products to decorate it and all the embellishments.

Tim's Tiny Houses

Had a little play today with Tim's Tiny Houses, this is the bigger of the two.

And this is the other side of the larger one.

And this is the front of the smaller one.

And I kept the back of the smaller one very simple.

And here they are side by side to give a comparison of the two sizes.

And the backs together, side by side.

ATB

Over at Simon Says Wednesday they have a challenge of die crazy, so I decided I wanted to make an altered trading box (ATB).

I coloured the outside of the box purple and stamped a PA mini script in black stazon.

I coloured the inside panels in lime green and stamped the EV scratchy rectangle in cactus green stazon.

I stamped various images from the PA Ink and Dog wings plates onto the panels in black stazon.

I stamped the flourish and post marks in olive green stazon.

And added some of the frameworks die cuts in black and green card.

And some feet using the wooden sudoko tiles and colouring with a black marker.

And a cut out butterfly from TH crowded attic patterned papers for the top.

I'm also entering into Fashionable Stamping challenges this week as Alison (aka Butterfly) has chosen a theme of a 3d object.
