Creative Chemistry Folder

I set about altering a folder ready to put my note in from Tims Creative Chemistry class, I covered it with Terminoplogy Tissue Wrap which I had scrunched up and the flattened out - I used pva to adhere it.I then put lots of Distress Inks on drying in between each layer. I added a bit of clear embossing powder here and there. To finish I added my stamped wording, number and the top torn from one of the downloaded pages. I used a grunge board fastener and hitch fastener as closure.

I now have everything together for when I want to use the techniques

altered Notice Board

My notice board was dropping to bits - the cork was more holes than cork !!!! So, I altered it. I used spray adhesive to attach some Batting material - I then added my top material and attached it with my heavy duty stapler pulling it very taut. I then added my strips of corded ribbon and the little pegs for attaching my notes etc

Altered Cabinet

My bathroom cabinet was looking deicedly the worse for wear - so - I decided to alter it. I rubbed it down with sandpaper - put on 2 coats of Gesso and then painted it - I finished it off by using Sheena's Transfers. I love the way it turned out - and it saved me buying a new one

My second hand stitched quilt

Have really enjoyed making this quilt- its is all hand pieced - I quilted in the ditch on the blades and then added buttons - love the colorway that I got from some oriental paper

All stitched up

Another page - I think the making of this one is self explanatary - I used Tims dies and my Vagabond for the diecuts

Things with wings

Another page fdor the swap book

I used a Tim Holtz backing paper inked with distress inks. I cut out the cage using cork and the little bird using grungepaper - both on my Vagabond using Tims dies. I inked the bird - stamped the wording and inkeed it and then added everything to the mountboard

Smell the Flowers

This is one of my pages for a swap I'm hosting on the Lotstodo forum.

I made my panel with Picket Fence Distress stains and a background stamp - when dry I inked it with chipped saphire distress ink - the stain acted as a sort of resist, I stamped my quote, inked the edges and layered it. I then stamped directly on to my mountboard again with Chipped Saphire and a mist of water. I added everything to the card and inked the edges, Finally I added a flower that I'd made up with bits in my drawer.
