Decorated tin




My first attempt at altering a tin.

The bead crew



Made some more bead divas using up some left over handmade beads from a swap

Slide mount decorations




I have made some Christmas decorations from slide mounts. I was trying out ideas for a slide mount swap but didn't get things done in time so I've missed that one.

I coloured the slide mounts by putting some marvy metallics on a non-stick sheet and spritzing with water. I then put the slide mounts on and squidged them around a bit to cover.

I finished them with some stamping and embossing or a metallic edge.
The middles of the pinker two are stamped on acetate, one see through and the other with some kitchen tin foil in between coloured with rub'n'buff gold.

Wishing Girls


Another play with the image challenge from NGS.

More faux postage



Used a colour spray over the printed mail grid and then sponged coloured ink through some punched shapes

.

I played with colouring some rubber stamps with Marvy pens. The top two are with and without water spray and the bottom are with and without a mask for the postage stamp shape.




Colour spray then stamped over a mask.
