Altered Art - Dreams

Hi, hope you've all had a good bank holiday weekend.

I loved last weeks Try it on Tuesday scraplings challenge and will definately be using up more of my offcuts in this way.

Well can you believe it? It's the last day of May already and as it's a Tuesday it's time for another Try it on Tuesday challenge.

 It's Altered Art week with the theme of Dreams which was chosen by our very talented Georgina.

I've altered a cheese box and created a dream catcher.

I flattened out the lid and base of the box by cutting into the edges, then cut appertures using nesties and the cuttlebug. I painted the base and lid using Smooch inks. I cut 2 frames for around the appertures again using nesties and the bug.  I cut card the same depth as the box then reassembled the box base sticking it to the card. I then stuck the lid over the base. To attach the cord I made holes around the edge and threaded it through then stuck down with tape and covered the edge with ribbon to hide the fixings. Used wire to attach the feathers and the acetate stamped image of the girl in the moon which I had coloured using glitter.

Well if you fancy a bit of altering but need some inspiration why not pop over to the TioT challenge blog and check out the fantastic ideas the teamies have come up with. They are amazing.

Don't forget the challenge is sponsored by The Craft Barn this week so leave a link in your post if you decide to join us that way you will be entered into the random draw.

Thank you so much for visiting me today and please leave a comment as they really do brighten my day and are so much appreciated.

Happy crafting

Hugs,

Busy busy!!

I've kept myself busy today doing a bit of painting (not the lovely crafty kind-shame) and having a bit of a sort out. That's more stuff in the loft, who needs loft insulation? I've even got the ironing done!! Decided I needed a bit of me time so I've sat myself down with a cuppa and the laptop and here I am.

Thought I would just share a card that I made for a male member of our family who has a birthday today.

The yellow is acetate coloured with cosmic shimmer and glitter on tissue paper and the check is from my bit box.  The clock and key are bronze metal cut using Spellbinder dies. The border is Martha Stuart and the image is cut from a Crafty Individuals miniatures pad. 

Hope you all have a good bank holiday weekend, let's hope the weather stays fine.

Bye for now

Two for one!

Hi dear bloggers

Another quick card to share with you today.

If you look at the yesterdays card you will see that I have used the innie and outies from the diecuts for this card.  I have kept the layout very similar to yesterdays. The paper I think is from a free pad on the front of a magazine (can't remember which) and I think it's Pink Petticoat.  The butterfly (Circa Design) was stamped using a pink Brilliance ink pad onto vellum  twice the glittered with stickles.

Thank you for visiting again today.
