Birthday Card

I seem to be in pink mode again - don't what comes over me sometimes....... anyway, made this card for my sisters' birthday, it looks better in the flesh so to speak!

The backgound has had a Brilliance ink pad lightly over it , then random stamped with Basic Grey swirls stamps. The butterflies were stamped on pink card then heat embossed in white. Added a few stones etc & some feathers & ribbon "tails".

Book

Apologies for the quality of these photos!

I did this little book just for fun.It is called "dreams" and the quotes inside follow this theme.(I seem to have been having a bit of a pink moment but I am sure I'll get over it!)

The book is made from mountboard, coloured with inks , patterned with bubble wrap printing, stamped & embossed with white . The front cover is made from acetate.

Keyring

This kcould be a key ring or handbag charm - I used white shrink plastic (which has been lurking in the craft box for a long time waiting for inspiration!) used an Anna Griffin stamp & Jumbo Java & Pixie Dust Versamagic ink to colour , punched the holes then shrank it down, then added the metal tag & rings.

Fabric bookmark

Fabric bookmark - the base fabric is a scrap of khaki linen which I have stamped & embossed in candy turquoise & gold then added the stamped image, also edged in gold & added the ribbon. The inner of the bookmark is thin mountboard but I would probably use fabric interlining or paper in future as it is a bit too chunky.

Tag book

This little book is made from brown money envelopes & luggage tags. The tags fit perfectly inside the envelopes which have been stamped with Versamagic inks.

Fat pages - male theme

Three fat pages were required for Andreas' swap on LTD - 1 green 1 blue and 1 freestyle with a man/male theme. The green is a browny green background paper overstamped with stripes to create a plaid pattern then the picture of the 2 men captured in utee and edged with gold - a bit rustic looking but I like it!The blue one is a background coloured with a dye-based ink then stamped with a Hampton Arts "sun" stamp in silver topped with the oriental warrior. The freestyle one is a paper by Dovecraft topped with the military man picture which was dipped in utee.

Guess who had a melt pot for Christmas then.......................ha ha!

Collage on canvas - Elegance

This little canvas (5in x 7in) was simple to do - the background is very thin tissue paper glued to the canvas with thinned PVA then coated with more thinned glue to protect the surface. Added ribbon & 'lace', stamped & embossed the cream chipboard frame for the picture and finished off with feathers, metal swirl & a tiny gem.

Fat page and Atc

These were made for a monthly draw on Crafting corner hosted by Karen. The theme is monochrome.The fat page has been stamped (Anna Griffin - Bailey) and decoupaged

Challenge - "craft your name"

This wall hanger is for the Lots to Do Challenge Blog weekly challenge "craft your name", it is about 11.5 ins long and 2.5 wide.Stamped black card with Brilliance dew drop in pearlescent crimson,added panels of pink and black card and mounted the tags on the top with my name in stickers,finally adding a ribbon loop to hang it with (not shown) Quite pleased with the effect.

Acrylic on Canvas

Bought some acrylic paints last week so thought I would have a go! The background is put on with a dry cosmetic sponge, the flowers hand painted & the borders stamped with white paint. Click on the pic for a better look! What do you think?
