November challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu

Hi all 

I know I have been lacking in my crafting and my blogging and am only just getting back some motivation by doing simple thins so here we go.

i had some really tacky plastic dragonflies and decided to alter one to use in a future project.  I altered this using various coloured alcohol inks and then used inka gold to highlight the raised areas.  i told you this was a simple one lol.  Now for the pics....

Why not head on over to Eclectic Ellapu and join in with out ANYTHING GOES challenge.

Love always

Elaine aka Ellapu x

November over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit

After a couple months of not creating a thing I have managed to put a project together for Rhedd's Creative Spirit.  

I altered a wooden block (ATB) and used the theme of TIME. I gessoed the block and stenciled numbers with modelling paste.  I added some wooden numbers from my stash and then painted it black. I used Inka Gold to bring out the raised surfaces and then added some cards spelling the word time on the 4 sides by Tim Holtz (found these lurking at the back of drawer and forgotten about them) I wiped black paint around them. I then added a wooden clock face and a stray hand and used Inka Gold on those also. A cotton reel to prop it up as you can see in one of the pics.

That's it for now just the pics to follow and sorry for the overload and love to you all and why not join in over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit.
