Scapbooking with encaustic wax...

I have been experimenting with scrapbook pages and encaustic wax....not sure about it tho' ! What do you think folks?

Scrapbooking today...this page is of  my sister Jill, my Mum and me !

Ben (grandson) and daughter Emma on Bens 13th birthday.

2 posts in one day! I have called this one 'asters', the background is done with the iron , the flower centres 'blown' and the petals with a brush. There is quite a bit of gold in this pic  but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.

Todays encaustic wax offering is called 'Delphiniums', the wax is applied then blown with a heatgun then detail added with a stylus.

New encaustic pic....a bit moody this one !

New encaustic pic. A smaller version of the one below..(this one is better I think) 4in x 6in.

A new encaustic wax pic...They look best in the frame but cant get it in the scanner ! This one is about 8in x 6in.

I have made this postcard for the Song Lyrics Challenge on  http://thecupboardtrilogychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ . The song was 'Wind Beneath My Wings' by Bette Midler.

A card with an oriental flavour made with papers from  http://debbeescdsblogspot.blogspot.co.uk/ and my entry to the May comp.

Ducks !

Made this cheery card with papers from Debs http://debbeescdsblogspot.blogspot.co.uk/ and to enter the April Challenge. The raindrops and puddles have been highlighted with 3d gloss to make it look more 'watery' but doesn't show very well on here! The bunting was some of the umbrellas that I cut up.

A random card really, using some new stamps and gilding flakes on handmade embossed paper.

Mixed media canvas

Well its been a while !! I have been doing other things elsewhere.....
This creation is mixed media on a canvas board using some new stamps (new to me anyway!), metal, metal flake and other bit n bobs.Love those images.....xx

Carousel.....

Ok..a little madness here!! Found these bits n bobs in the recycling "shop" nearby... and instantly thought "carousel"....as you would....so this is what i did with it. Fun to do and it even goes round!

Used the nozzle off a big glue tube and some dowel for the spindle......

Thick card for the top......

Stamped some horses and cut them out then coloured them....

and this is the end result ! Thanks for looking.......................:)
