Crafting Corner Variety Swap

This months theme is "Collage on Canvas" so here is mine! I painted the canvas with H2O, the image is from a free download (I think from Art-e-zine) which was covered with pva to seal it , then added lace , ribbon buttons and beads from my craft stash and the metal flower centre is from Making Memories.

I am hosting a monthly swap on All Things Crafty. The challenge this month is to make a 3D butterfly. This is mine. The base is a piece of balsa wood and the flower and butterfly are made from soft leather which has been stamped then cut out and embellished. The butterfly is supported underneath with some acetate attached to the spiral of wire. The stamps used are :
Butterfly - Personal Impressions

March Variety swap

This is the challenge for the March Variety swap on Crafting Corner! Decorate/alter two pencils anyway you choose!
For the first one I used some collaged paper with postage stamp images, soaked it in pva glue then applied to the pencil and when dry put on a thin coat of 3D glaze to seal and added some butterflies onto some wire to adorn the top. The second is encusted with tiny beads and glitter, again stuck on with pva and the glazed with 3D glaze and some fibres added to the top.

Postcard swap..

This was made for a one 2 one swap, the theme is "the sea". The background is done with TH distress inks and a water brush, the edges of the waves embossed with white powder. The boat shells and bird are rubons from Royal & Langnickel and the children an image from Edith's Creation (Holland).
