Altered Bag






I really loved doing this . My brother brought the bag for me as a gift.This was one of my first projects




Glass Slide Mailers

I find the smaller objects a challenge.But great fun.

ATC Book



I made this ATC book as I needed somewhere to store my ATC's

Party Time...

A skinny using acrylics for the background, a couple of rub ons. Plus a little picture that I found in my craft box.



Beauty of the Soul

Inked the background.For the swirly lines I used stamp to make impressions into Fimo.
I then stamped the face and went over it with Charcoal. I have added colour to the lips and eyes ,but it doesn't show in this download.

Mother Like Daughter

Just an ATC that I made Stamped image and added a few acrylic lines.

Altered Treasures: Women At Work

Altered Treasures: Women At Work - Skinny Saturday

Women At Work


I have made this for my first Skinny challenge. I used acrylics on the background. Added some micro beads on the blue dots. Put acrylic onto a piece of string and pinged it onto the car for the lined effect.

Fantasy Canvas


I made this canvas today using acrylics on the background. I ripped some paper from 'The Once upon a Time ' stack by DCWV.Smudged some black ink around the edges and added some rub ons. Attached some wire and beads to the bottom.

Small Canvas

A little sparkly number.
This canvas was inked and smudged using baby wipes. To get the small check effect I used a piece of mesh as a stencil and rubbed the ink pad over the top. I drew the swirls using glue and sprinkled extra fine glitter over the top.
To achieve the gold twist in the middle , I tightly twisted ribbon and stuck each end down to keep it taught. Stamped the head and placed it behind a mount. Then added a few other bits and pieces.
Not really a glitter person,but I really liked the colour.

ATC's








Here are Just a few of the ATC's
that I have Made.









ATC Tin



Here is an ATC tin I altered. I used alcohol inks to achieve the base colour.Stamped around the bottom with a fern stamp. I wanted to achieve a summer garden theme. The handle is covered by wrapping ribbon around it and I then attached a metal butterfly charm. I used a few more embellishments including chipboard letters to form the ATC on the front.

Circle Book



I have to say thank you to Carrie, as I used her template for this circle book. It was good fun to do. Took a little time,but hey I like to work on projects and see them evolve.

Medieval Arch




I like this one,because to me it is subtle and has a romantic medieval feel.

Variation on the Gothic Arch




JUST WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT

Inked and stamped with butterflies front and middle .
It also continues on the back.

Ripped some paper and placed it in the middle, again inked over the edges.I cut out some angel images and placed them on and under the paper.

On the front I punched and thread some fibres down the sides.

Chose pinks this time as I tend to use more muted colours and thought the"book" lends itself to those colours best.

A few more arches......

Like the shape of this one.



Here are a couple more I have completed. Thought you may like to take a look.This one is on glossy card with a little wire woven down each side.

Gothic Arches





Well, I have just found Gothic Arches and love doing them.
This is one of my first attemps.
Used various inks and rub ons for the background. Found an oval appature and placed the face behind it. Again used rub ons around the edge . Punched 5 holes and placed screwhead snaps down the side and wound some wool round them just to add a little texture. Added a few other embellishments .......

My Very First Canvas






This is my first canvas....... not too bad but you learn as you go along don't you.
All I have to do now is enrol for photography lessons. But practice makes perfect so they say.....

Butterflies and Fairies 8x10 canvas...


This is my second attempt at an 8x10 canvas.
Inked the background and smudged it with a baby wipe. Stamped blossom in blue around the edge. Stamped dark blue butterflies the over stamped them in light blue. On a piece of card again stamped two butterflies,cut them out and 3d them on to 2 stamped butterfly images. Stuck 4 glass beads in the corner and an image of a fairy and that was that.Quite pleased with my second attempt.
