Lotstodo Swap - Arches

I created this arch for a swap on the Lotstodo forum being hosted by Andrea. The arch had toinclude recycled items.

I used a piece of cardboard from a box for my base. I tore a bit of the covering away and then using dabbers added some colour. I then added a piece of torn paper and wire mesh. My topper was made using an old door number metal plate with I covered with UTEE and whilst hot stamped my wording. I finished off the whole piece by adding some braid

Altered Mirror

This was supposed to be for the Object D'Art challenge but I missed the deadline

I altered this mirror which I'd got from Ikea a while ago taking inspiration from Glenda and Lynn who designed one in the October 08 issue of Craft Stamper. The project has taken me a few days to do but I'm pleased with the result.

I started by preparing my mirror by sanding it and putting on 2 coats of black gesso.

My stompboard was inked with Adirondack and stamped using various stamps with stazon. I did lots of etching on most pieces adding more ink with cutndry pen nibs. I went round the edge of all the pieces with Gold Krylon and to finish off the piece added various charms

Lotstodo Challenge - Black and White

I altered a CD for this weeks challenge on Lotstodo. I first covered it with white gesso and then when dry covered it with black gesso quite thickly - when that was dry I scratched it so that some of the white would show through. I stamped my image (Crafty Individuals) with black stazon and attached that. My number seven was made with black utee melted in my melt post and poured in to mould. I then added my flower which I had surrounded with vileda with a brad - I painted the brad 'cos I didn't nave a black one!!!. I finished off by using my cropodile to punch a hole and put an eyelet in to thread the ribbon through.

Rainbow Lady - Transport

I stamped my main image on to my wood and then using my new tool I burnt round it. My wording is done freehand. I finished off by inking the whole block using Adirondack and cutndry

Sunday Stamper - Silver

I chamferred the edges of my mountboard so that I could cover them with versamark and heat emboss using silver powder. I think it frames the image (Great Impressions)nicely. I stamped the image and heat embossed it and to finish off I added a couple of teardrop beads
