"Numbers" and "Altered Postcard Back"


Here's my "Altered Postcard Back" for Wednesday Stamper
...and my "Numbers" piece for Lots To Do
I finally got to play with my TH clock mask for this one !
DH and I walked for miles last Sunday and woke up on Monday feeling like "death warmed up" so it wasn't long before we were wishing we were a bit younger and could put the clock back....heres my take on going back to the past....!
I used distress inks, gold dauber and "Paper Artsy" stamps.
I triple stamped (using sepia, mahogany and gold) on the words.... and double stamped (using mahogany and gold) on the numbers.
I hope you like what I've made....!
Many thanks to The Feathered Nest for the shared "postcard" download.

"Art" for Lots to Do


The challenge at Lots To Do this week is "Art"
....Well I'm not sure if this is art but I did enjoy doing it and there's been a lot of splodging around while I tried out different things !
... so here's another double-page of my altered bird book. This is double-page 4 so I'm slowly getting there. (The others are quite a few posts back...17th march-ish!)
I used dabbers, acrylic paints,sequin waste, stamps, pearlised glue and gold paint to build up the background.
I hope you like it...and thank you Sam for the challenge x

Altered Canvas -- ABAA / Frame --- Lots To Do



Here is a canvas I altered which fits two challenges this week.
Awfully Big Art Adventure --"Alter a Canvas"
and...Lots To Do---"Frame"...
I have turned over a canvas and used the back which I've covered with aged tissue...then PVA embossed it and added some embellishments.
I've put an old challenge piece in the frame but the colours of the frame were chosen to go with a lovely photo of my mum which I will put in after the challenge is over.
Thanks for dropping by x

Ribbon,Flower and Buttons Card !


"My Time To Craft" have set the challenge to make something which includes a piece of ribbon...a flower...and two buttons...so here is my effort (a card) for the challenge.
I am also entering it in the "Lots To Do" challenge as theirs is "Recycle "
So what bit is recycled then ...Lol.....?
It's the silver embossed centre.....!
I used a silver foil lid ...the type used on take-aways...and put it through my Bigshot using a Cuttlebug folder. I do hasten to add it wasn't a used lid !!!( I got a mound of lids from my local "Scrapstore" )
I twisted the ribbon and glued it with photoglue( as I've found this glue doesnt seep through the ribbon).
I enjoyed making this so I hope you like it !
