Hey all
This week the challenge over at my blog - Eclectic Ellapu is ANYTHING GOES. This will be running for 3 weeks until 5th January and is a joint challenge with both teams giving you inspiration with their really beautiful projects.
I myself have made yet another tag for the challenge and also an altered mirror. The mirror is a prezzie. I keep saying it... when will it end... oh yes the 25th December lol.
First off the tag was stamped using a set made by Hampton Arts (I think!) Got too many and have not catalogued them as well as I should have lol. I used distress inks and paint as the background.
The bow and the tag hanger are made using ribbon from my stash.
I cut out the hearts using a die. I painted them red with a little rub n buff over the edges. I then used crackle glossy accents on one half of both hearts and the other half plain glossy accents. I am hoping you can tell the effect it gives in the photo. I used my cropadile big bite to punch through the hearts and tag. The silhouettes were cut using a Tim Holtz die and also received the same treatment as the hearts.
The sentiment came from the stamp set.
I hope you enjoy the pics - the mother overload that is.
My next project is a cheap old mirror from the pound shop in town.
The surround of the mirror was not wide enough for what I wanted to create so I cut out strips of chipboard and attached it to the frame to widen it.
I then used gesso and cream acrylic over the top.
I stamped onto tissue paper using some fab new stamps I have acquired recently by Katzelkraft using sepia archival ink. I tore the tissue before applying onto the frame using pva and water. Once dry I dabbed and smudged distress inks over it to give the appearance of oldy worldy lol. I apologise for the photos... difficult taking pics of mirrors!
I do hope you have enjoyed peeking at my projects and I also hope you will be hopping on over to ECLECTIC ELLAPU for our 3 week challenge of ANYTHING GOES. We love to look at your projects as not only do we hope to give you inspiration we enjoy being inspirated by you.
