Grunge page 5

 This one is called vintage memories
The background was stamped with crackle effect stamp onto damp photocopy paper using distress ink (walnut stain ) then i distressed it more with some antique linen and then wet it again. I dried and attached to the grunge board and worked from there.the photo is not great as there was not much light.
Thanks to all for comments. i promise i shall be by to your blogs soon as its been so busy here

grunge book page 4

I am getting there with the Grunge book pages. I need to make ten in all and this is number 4
this one is called 'create your dreams' I created this one using a few different kinds of techniques and materials. inks,glue, a tinfoil wrapper (recycled choc teacake wrapper ) for texture. alcohol inks, mica pigment, spray mists, and more. Its definitely grungy lol but i wanted texture and i wanted the ballet dancers as the dream.

Art room hanger

 This is a double sided hanging piece i made using  a little slide mount that my friend Jude included in her wonderful christmas gift to me. I added two tiny images back to back ,i alcohol inked the frame then added stickles (icicle) to sparkle it.I added the lovely metal corners that i got from my lovely friend Hilda a while back and  I filled the aperture with the images with  3d clear gloss the dried (one side at a time of course) I glued some old costume jewellery at the bottom and ribbon to the top.

Beer mats to coasters

 I needed some new coasters so what better than old beer mats to start with.
I used a collage background from a set i created for Dezinaworld (the background set is called Backgrounds Deluxe and will be launched next month ) I printed it off twice and covered both sides of the beer mat. I distressed the edges slightly with metallic rub in colour in green and copper and then used Glossy accents over the whole of both sides to give a varnished look.

Two New for the New Year

 Happy New Year everyone. I thought i would pop by and post some new pieces i made. I am determined to get more crafting done this year than i did last. These two are a gothic arch with a kitty theme on embossed card which was distressed and then silver outlined in places. Pens also add the finishing touches to the lady image. and  a twinchie (two inch square ) which was based on metal and metalic markers background using pva glue to seal and then finished off with siver metalic memory tape.I wanted to bring old vintage image together with a modern metalic look.
