Until .... canvas on easel

Here's what I've been up to this morning. I made this canvas after seeing a beautiful one on display at Craftworld. Needless to say it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Not too sure about the wings.

I've first covered the canvas with some Tim Holtz resist kraft paper and then gone round it with walnut distress ink. Next came some tape washi tape that I got free from a magazine. Oh I used a gel medium to adhere the paper and tape to the canvas. The film strip is from a Tim Holtz stamp. The butterfly I stamped on acetate and cut out. I coloured it lightly with a copic pen. The crown and wings were stamps from a Hunkydory set and I've also used the same TH kraft paper to stamp them on. I gave the crown, wings and acetate butterfly a light dusting of perfect pearls interference violet. On the crown I placed a little butterfly which I cut out of shrink plastic. Finally the quote is from a set from Dylusions. NB the wings may have to come off not sure about them!!

We went to Glasgow yesterday and popped into Craftworld. Fab shop!! Hubby bought me an early birthday pressie as I was oohing and ahhing so much!!

Bit late but here is my May journal page.

I've used Dylusions spray inks and randomly painted over some acrylic paints. Along the bottom of the page I've stamped a Michael Powell stamp. Lots of stamping ,doodling , rub oning inking etc later it's finnished. Oh and also added the collage girl and saying.

Party Postcard

May's theme for the postcard swap on UKStampers is Party!

I've used a collage sheet by Lisa's Altered Art and then put gesso, inks, stamps over the top.

Forgot to show you this postcard. It was made for a swap on UKStampers

The theme was Feathered Friends. I used Dylusions inks for the background on top of Papermania Urban papers. I then cut out one of the images from the papers and adhered it to the postcard using gel medium. The three hearts are wooden and I covered them with more of the inks. The quote is computer
generated.

Polkadoodles Challenge

This week it was my turn to set the challenge on the Polkadoodles Challenge blog. I chose

De-Stress

How about some distressing on your card?

For my background I've used the Polkadoodles CD, Not for girls. Even this CD can be used for a feminine card it's very versatile. I've sanded them and inked them. The gorgeous image is from Marianne Designs and I've also sanded and inked that. I also added some twine and a little heart. The lovely rose ribbon is also from Marianne Designs. The dream ticket is from the Polkadoodles CD Candy Doodles and I've also inked it. I also added some of the netting from the rose ribbon. I cut one of the roses off the ribbon and added it to the image.

The DT girls have made some gorgeous "De-Stress" projects, lots of inspiration for you. Why not go over to the Challenge blog and take a look. I'd love you to join in with the challenge and I look forward to seeing your projects.

Black & White ATCs

I've started to make ATCs again. These ones are for a black and white swap on UKStampers.

The 1st and 2nd have collage images and the 3rd is stamps stamped onto tissue and then I used gel medium to attach them to the ATC. The background papers are Papermania Urban.
