Boys go grungy

I bit more of the grunge altered art thing going on here. This time it was with the boys photos,  so I tried to add some more masculine type things.Glimmer Glitz was sprayed on the back ground. Some drops of ink on top and the rest was randomly placed. I stamped some pictures of balloon and tracker, added some keys, clock and winter type leaves . The film stip is a Tim Holtz die. The cogs are a Do crafts die

 

The Grunge look

I decided to go a bit grungy for this page and try out some altered art stuff ( this was very adventurous of me) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I used stencils, Glimmer Glitz, Tim Holtz distress paints on the background and the clock. The lace was coloured with the glimmer glitz and then bits and pieces were randomly  applied. The little cog wheels are cut from a Do crafts die set.

 

 

 

Christmas cards 2013

I made a set of Christmas cards for family and friends.. All using the same theme, using Tim Holtz stamps, doily cutouts, ribbon, glitter and a Merry Christmas stamp. The lamp post, holly skates, birds etc were cut out using the Cricut.

 

Here are some of the wenvelopes I made for the cards. They were quite large and I could not find any premade envelopes to fit, so used the we R Memory Keepers envelope board,and stamped some small cards with Post Card heading from a Tim Holtz collection.

 This last one I made for my hubby. I masked a couple of stamps to get the joy/swirl composition. I stamped some snowflakes and then applied glue and green glitter to the snow flakes.
The cut out allowed me to put some old sheet music and lace behind the main picture.It was all finished off with a wee bow at around the main picture ( Tim Holtz)
