Lotstodo Challenge Favourite Christmas Card

I really like this simple decoupage card - I think it gives off the chocolate box picture that we would all like to see on Christmas morning

Lotstodo Challenge A bit of Glitz

I made my shadow box out of sturdy card stock I added my image which I had decoupaged and mounted - I then put acetate over the top. I added the border which I had cut with my Martha Stewart punc and then finished off by adding the flatback beads and the little flowers

Lotstodo Challenge - Words

I love playing about and mixing and matching scenic stamps - I've used 7 different stamps to create this scene - all inks used were distress inks - I used cut n dry and Q tips for the inking

Lotstodo Challenge Embossing

Just a simple little ATC this week - I've had rather a busy week - The embossing was done in my bigshot then it was inked and sanded down before adding the tower which I had stamped on to tissue and the little Face which I had mat and layered on to mirri board. I finished off by rounding the corners and inking

Lotstodo Challenge Technique

I have many favourite techniques but the ones I've used today include Masking and Inking and Heat Embossing.

I made another clock for my friends craft room - bought the blank and the workings at NEC for £1 each !!!! I inked the background by spraying with Adirondack Color wash Raisen. I then added my mask and Sprayed again this time with Terra Cotta I heat embossed my grungeboard numbers with black fine detail and my letters with gold embossing powder. I then stamped a couple of sayings, inked and added them - and if you look closely I also added some wording with rub ons. I finished off by inking all the edges with distress inks and putting in the workings

Hope she likes it

Lotstodo Challenge Friendship

I embossed the metal for the top and bottom pieces in my bigshot using an embossing folder. The side pieces were created by adding grungeboard letters covering with foil and embossing round them before adding a bit of a pettern with my Ten Second Studio tools. I then added my colour with alcohol inks and rubbed some of it off. The poem I found on the internet - it was anonymous. I've made a few of these for some of my crafting friends for little gifts for Christmastime

Lotstodo Challenge Buttons and Beads

This is one of those 99pence mirrors from Ikea - I've been altering it for quite some time but was inspired to finish it when I saw Jill Tuck's amazing clock in Craft Stamper.

My mirror was altered with lots of pieces of Utee left over from several different projects - some beeswax - buttons, beads and anything else I had lying around lol.

I'm quite pleased with it - I covered the mirror part to take my photo's
