Image transfer

I wanted to try using an image tranfer technique...tried it before with dodgy results lol ! I think this one worked out quite well.
Cant remember where I got the image from, sorry. Anyway, I used a piece of satin lining fabric, tore round the edges of the image and then painted on an even coat of pva glue, put it face down on the fabric and rolled over it with a brayer to ensure it was well n truly in contact with the fabric. I then got called away to do something else so it was several hours before I came back to it....which is probably why it worked so well, normally I would not have the patience to leave it so long!!
I then spritzed the back of the image and rubbed with my finger to remove the paper backing...a slow job....spritzing as required until the image revealed itself, then dried it off gently with a hairdryer. Finally I stamped and inked around the image, frayed the edges and added the embellies and attached to a coordinating card blank.

Ok.....this card was made for the Vintage Artisans 'Steampunk' Challenge.

I have used stamps from Paper Artsy, Club Scrap, Indigo Blu with black Stazon and Weathered Wood inks. The lightbulb image ....well I think it was from the Vintage Fairy...apologies if not! I stamped the butterflies into the bulb and coloured them with Distress Stickles then used 3D gloss over the top to give a glassy look. The cogs & chain are carboot junk finds.

Birthday card

This card is for OHs Nan - she is in her 90s. I used K&Co paper, some sticky ribbon, greeting and vintage image then added a bit of glitter glue to the flowers in the picture.

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.

Collage on canvas - vintage flowers

This canvas is covered with a whole sheet of lovely vintage paper which was then soaked in thin pva and distressed to allow the canvas to show through in places. Added a photo which has had the backing stripped off so that only the thin layer of print is left, the hearts & brads & the word "bloom". The swirls were hand cut from mountboard, coloured & stamped, ribbon entwined & finally the red roses added.
