New Challenge - Anything Goes With A Bestie Image

Hi Bloggers,


It's challenge time over at My Besties Challenge Blog and it's anything goes use a bestie image.


Well I've made a cute little gift bag using a Sherri Baldy image colourd with copics isn't she just divine, papers I've used are Maja Design papers I just love the vintage look of them.


The love heart dies are Joy Crafts, the bow in the top right corner is the new Tim Holtz die and I'm in love with it, it would have to be one of my favorite dies and the flourish die is a My Favorite things die. The doily is a lace sticker from Prima Marketing, flowers and ribbons I've found in my stash. 


Hope you all like my little gift bag....

Altered Chalkboard





Hi Bloggers,
I'm back again today to show a little project I've finally got around to doing, in December I went over to Melbourne to spend Christmas with the family and when I go I always have to do some shopping it's a must lol
I found a chalkboard in a shop called Typo and my first thoughts were the things I could do with this.


First I lightly sanded it back and then painted it with gesso, then I used some purple mixed media ink, then I used 2 stencils with my most favourite product texture paste, once that was dry I then went over it with iridescent medium using my finger, it gives a real shine pearl finish, I then used some diamond stickles once again rubbing it in with my finger.


Once that was all done it was time to decorate, my gorgeous embellishments came from Tracy over at http://www.my2angels.net/ I used a little bottle for my chalk holder and the duster I painted with mixed media ink stamped it with a butterfly then used some embossing powder over it.


Hope you like it :)

Easel Card

Hi Bloggers,

Back again today to share with you all another card, this time a easel card, the yummy flowers came from Tracy over at My2Angels, I used a La La Land Crafts fence die and ran it through my big shot with the Tim Holzt wood grain embossing folder I also did that with the tree die. 

The pearls are Kaisercraft strips from Sassy Scrappers and the ribbon is from Bizzy Becs. I used a little tag distressed with Tim Holtz walnut stain ink and stamped a little sentiment using vintage sepia ink.


Hope you like it :)
