pictures, gift bags and cake


 This picture was made using some of the background papers, bows and buttons from the paper capsules collection.  I then stamped the word on using the Papermania Alphamania Clear stamp set and coloured with Gold Wink of Stella pen.  This was mounted into one of the Ikea frames and will make a perfect Fathers Day gift - thinking of doing a few to sell???

The next one is using a frame I bought that I though could be used as a box frame but when unwrapped only suitable for a flat image - added a bow to the frame and then decided it would look better at the top.  Used some of the background papers from Papermania and then stamped one of the new Stampotique images designed by Karen Hayselden. This was coloured in with a touch of gold to match the papers.

 
 
 
 


 I then needed a gift bag so used black cardstock, matted some of the background papers on, matted a label onto more black card and then made my own rosette with strips of the paper.  Finished off with a centre piece saying "enjoy".

And finally just a little bit of messing around stamping and colouring with some stamps and edible food colouring, and using the ribbons from the capsule set to trim the cake.

More upcycling

Here are some photos showing the before and after of a chest I was given by my very good friend Annette Lee.

I used some black acrylic paint for the undercoat, stamped and coloured some of the  latest Dylusion stamps and then added them using Ranger Glue and Seal.

I then added some doodling with my white gel pen and a bit more colour with acrylic paints.
