Altered Playing Card- 10 of Hearts

Altered Matchbox filled with trinkets.

I used Pion paper A day in May for this altered matchbox. The matchbox is a Silhouette Cameo file and is a little larger than a regular matchbox. 

Washi Tape Challenge

I covered a sheet with Washi tape. The top sheet is punched with a heart border punch and butterfly punch to reveal the Washi tape. A gold embossing powder sentiment to complete.

Embossing Folder Card

This card is for a swap Challenge for Charlotte's Web Papercraft. I embossed with A border folder and then layered on a butterfly embossed centre mat. 

ATC with a face.

I used one of the Prima Bloom stamps for this card. I started with a colourful background over which I glued a torn piece of book page. I stamped and then coloured some of the flowers and stems with alcohol markers.

Vintage themed Card

I used Kaisercraft Miss Empire collection for this card. 

Artist Trading CardSwap- Spring

The first swap for Charlottes Web Papercraft. A Facebook group event for Entrapped in the Web group. I decided this was a great time to break out my highly prized Graphic 45 Once upon a Springtime collection. These papers are becoming quite hard to source. 

Flowers & Bling

I decided to limit myself to stamping for this project. Not an original design. I saw it on Pinterest. A pretty card though.

Folded Screen Card

A challenge card for card addicts group. I used Graphic 45 Birdsong. I tried following a few tutorials but couldn't get it right so finished up just folding it in half and then quarters. 

Blocks Card

I made this card for a swap challenge. It was really just a trial but it worked out quite nicely. I used Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Papers. The template for the card is really easy if you have a scoreboard. A 12"x 4 1/2 " card stock scored on 2 sides to give 1 1/2 " squares. I will post a tutorial later.

Mini banner.

A day for trying something new. The challenge was to create a banner not longer than 12 inches with the banners only measuring 2 inches. I used an SU banner punch. 

Painting with Bleach Technique.

The technique is to

1. Stamp image on black card stock and then emboss with clear embossing powder.

2. Paint areas of the stamp with full strength bleach. I had to do this 4or 5 times to notice a change in colour. 

The stamp I used was probably not ideal. A stamp with large open areas to bleach would be better. I then created borders with gold perfect pearl powder and some gold embossing powder. Lastly some gold german scrap. An interesting technique.

Altered Playing Card

King. I layered the back with some printed tissue paper and then a cut out portrait. I placed a frame on and then painted with gold acrylic paint leaving it thinner over the K. Brass embellishments added.

Vintage Postcard

Vintage Postcard Mail Art

Handmade post card to be posted "naked" so it needs to be fairly robust.

By the beach- technique Distressed.

After I started these ATC cards ( I made 10 for a swap) I realised I was not sure of which distressing technique I was supposed to use. I stamped the image and then embossed with black embossing powder. I coloured the card with Distress inks . I distressed the edges slightly with scissors and coloured with distress ink again. I then decided to further distress the image with gold embossing enamel. Hopefully it is distressed enough.

Napkin fold card.

Mixed media ATC - vintage Wedding Bouquet.

My favourite art form. 

The small canvas is coated in gesso. I then applied a layer of tulle and some paper lace. I then glued a variety of brass charms and 2 paper flowers. I coated everything with another layer of gesso.. I left it to dry and used a heat gun to speed the process. I then applied glimmer mists, glimmer glaze and gold acrylic paint. . I dabbed with paper towel to remove some overspray. Finished with some sticky back pearls.
