Just a few swaps

Hi everyone it is raining cats and dogs here today, very humid as well. But we really need the rain as our tanks are dry as a bone and the rain will fill them right to the top. This month I decided to enter into some swaps at Scrapbook and Crafters Community this is a closed group on facebook. I have done an altered paint brush which I have always wanted to give a go but I am liking it so much I do not want to give it to my swap partner. But I would not be so mean it is in the mail today. I made sure when I bought the paint brush it had a hole in the handle so it could be hung on the wall. My swap partner likes purple, cream and dusty pink so I used those colours for the colour scheme.


My second thing I entered was an ATC card swap for those who do not know what one of these are the cards measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and you decorate the front and on the back put who you are what the swap is etc. I keep one for myself and post the rest to the person who has organised the swap and I will get five back from other people. This is a lovely way to see what different styles everyone has. There was a theme to this swap you had to choose what is your favourite season mine is summer.


And of course lucky last. I have made 8 fairy tags each one different and the same things happens here to you keep one for yourself and post the rest to the person organizing the swap.


And here is the back of my tag.

Mixed Media Altered Frame - Off the Rails DT

Image
Hello Candy here again. I thought I would do an Off the page project for you all today. I bought this frame a while ago and had it in my stash. Firstly I painted the frame with black gesso and when it is dry cover with some Golden fiber paste on the sides and front of the frame, and the heart. I have used some chipboard pieces from one of our sponsors Memory Maze and painted them with white gesso. I roughly daubed with some liquid pearls, the rougher the better as we want some texture. Dry with a heat gun holding close as you want it to bubble. I then used Lindy's - Blue Hawiian blue, Glimmermist afraid of the dark and sei tumble dry green sprays. I used a small paint brush and daubed here and there. Dry between the colours or you will make mud.  On the heart I sprayed the Lindy's blue hawiian spray and when dry covered with glue and apply some midnight blue glass glitter. I also sprayed the colours around the inside and outside of the frame...

Just for you

Hi everyone I am back from a little break and ready to ctreate again. Today I have made a lovely little girls card. Using a fancy scroll and a word phrase. I have started with a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card base. I cut the first pattern paper layer at 51/4x51/4 inches. The second is cut from white glitter paper  and it is cut at 5 x 5 inches. The third is using another pattern paper and cut that one at  4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches Distress around the edges of all three then tape the first two onto the card base. The third pattern paper curl the right top corner use a little glue to hold this in place. Then tape onto the card using foam tape. I have matted my photo and put foam tape underneath to raise it up. Now for the corner swirl and the word phrase all I did was give them a couple of coats of white ink.  When dry glue onto your card. Add a little piece of lace under the corner roll and then add some flowers to finish off. Mmeor...
