Stir it up!

This altered spoon is for a swap on the Lots to Do forum, hosted by Ang C. My swapee is Ellen so I hope she likes it!!!



The ivy is from a spray I brought from Ebay with the idea of making a christmas swag (about 5 years ago lol) I covered the spoon with pva then pasted pages of an old book onto it. The quote is from Danielle Steel (or Barbara Taylor Bradford - one of them anyway lol) It says "If you believe in a fairy tale you can face the future"

I stamped the image onto tissue paper and pva'd it onto the spoon bit. I love my spoon, hope Ellen does too!

:o)

Up-cycling!

No, not cycling uphill LOL. Up-cycling is changing something. A bit like recycling except this baby wont be having a one way trip to China!!! This is for a swap on UKS hosted by Sid.

As you can see it started off life as a fruit tray.


I covered it with Gesso and newspaper. I then pva'd some pages from an old book onto it, inside and out. I added a few bits of TH crackle paint then inked over it using walnut stain distress ink.

I added a handle then used a TH stamp for the flourish which I cut out and attached. I also made the paper flower.

This is a close up of my stamping! I stamped onto tissue paper then pva'd it onto the packaging. Once dried I tore away the excess and 'eh voila'

Thanks for looking

For no particular reason.......

other than my Edward stamp arrived yesterday!!! So, recognise these 2 lol. It's supposed to be Bella and Edward at the prom. We all know that Edward likes Bella in blue, so a blue card! Bella is actually a bit of a Frankensteins monster, being mermaid anya (head), geisha anya (bun and dress) and superstar anya (scarf and arms)

Black or White?

Thought I'd have a go at monochrome! The sketch is from Farm Fresh Friday, which I think lended itself to a photograph type theme! I wanted a classic, vintage type look. The mermaid is coloured using just grey copics. Hubby thought I'd just taken a black and white pic of it so hopefully it looks authentic lol

Thanks for looking

This card encompasses a couple of challenges. The colours are from the copic colour challenge and the layout is from midnight madness.
