Shell

Today i have had my grandson all day so the only craft i got to do was the art of keeping a three year old out of mischief ... hard work it is lol. I am getting too old for this methinks
Anyhow i hope to get a little crafting done tomorrow but you never know, my days never work out as planned.
I did take a pic of this beautiful carved shell that my mother gave me. I do treasure it as i think its so clever and beautiful. What do you think ?

Experimenting Again - Lemon Burning

Lemon burning technique has been used to burn the edges around the torn stamped paper before i mounted onto inked background on the first atc and distressed.

The second atc has also been burned directly on a printed piece of card then distressed by sanding.

The third atc is just an extra one i made today using book text and images plus embossing

It was lovely to play today as have spent the first full day at home for a while. I enjoyed my usual experimenting :=)

Here are two theme thursday entries. I enjoyed this colour challenge and these are both atc's. Using stamps, threads, vintage buttons,papers etc





This is my contribution to Art creations friday
Love this couple and thought they deserved some stars and
a new year clock

Fisherboy Vintage

This is my vintage card for cupcake challenge by Steph.

Thought i would make a mans card for and added challenge. I always think its so hard to make them and it will come in handy in my box of ready cards :)
I have added a tutorial on distressing the image and card on my
Junes crafty tips blog.
Thanks for the challenge Steph , I enjoyed it :)

Flappin

Twenties style inspired this winged atc lady. I called this one 'Flappin' Mainly done with two different patterns made from food colourings (see my tutorial on junes crafty tips )

Also I just recieved this wonderful award from Maxine

and I wanted to say a really big thanks for this one my friend. I have the award given twice now and have passed it on but its so lovely when someone cares enough about your page and work and friendship to nominate you :)
