Vintage Sewing Drawers

This project is a little different today. I often like to take other things and decorate them. This was a plain brown cardboard set of drawers I have painted the drawers with silver acrylic paint. When dry I used the sewing stamp set from Creative Expressions. This set has lovely images all things to do with sewing. I randomly stamped all over with them using a black ink pad.
The drawer handles uses one of the cotton reels stamp from the set. I stamped into air drying clay and wrapped some black thread around them. A little minature sewing machine has been placed on top and the draweres are filled with lace, ribbon and pices of fabric all wrapped around cardboard strips. For the feet of the drawers I have painted some empty cotton reels in the same silver acrylic paint and glued on to the bottom.

Walking In The Air

Todays card is a christmas card. I have used the snowman set of stamps from Crafter's Companion. the image has been coloured using Promarkers. I have stamped the image twice and decoupaged it to give dimension.
For the background piece, I have used a piece of acetate. I blotted alcohol inks onto the acetate and then spread some crystal lacquer on to it. Next was to press some tissue paper on and leave it to dry. The effect is very shiny and has a glass like effect and a great textural look to it.
I have die cut a circle which has been put through the cuttlebug with a snowflake embossing folder. A ribbon tied with some fibres has been added . I used a punch to punch out some vellum snowflakes and added sprinkles of glitter on to them. These have been placed around the image.

Coffee Break

This weeks challenge over at Charisma Cardz is "negative Space". Now this is a bit of  a challenge for me . Some people know when to stop and blank spaces need filling to me. So off I went. My card is for a friend to say thank you for being a good friend and we don't have coffee as much as we should, but she is always there and I think it's time to meet up again. The stamped image is from Lili of the Valley (coffee break) and I have coloured it with Promarkers. The other risk I took with this card was to stamp the greetings directly on to the card. Panic stage - please don't mess up. Phew it worked! -no mess. The main stamp sentiment is from my stash and the "friends always" is from a Joanna Sheen stamp set(Giordana set). I have added a ribbon and some flowers but the rest is as blank as I could leave it. I'm glad I had a go at this challenge and it's a nice way to meet up with my friend again.

Promarkers used : blush, dusky pink, cocktail pink, denim blue, cool grey1,2,3, sandstone, caramel, satin, pastel beige.

Fairy Shoe Box

This is a project I wanted to share with you which is a bit different from making a card this time.This started as a cardboard book bought from a hobby store. I have painted it with some brown and Gold acrylic paint and when dry, rubbed over it with some black paint to give it a sort of distressed look.
I started to decorate the book with a front cover. This was made by brayering a piece of glossy cardstock with the big'n'juicy ink pad (spice). I then used a stamp(Creative Expressions) randomly and embossed with gold embossing powder.

I have taken another (Creative Expressions stamp - Ivy) and stamped it a few times. I coloured the ivy to match the cover with promarkers(Tan and Cardinal Red) and cut them into different layers. Each layer was built up on top to add dimension. The final touch was a metal lock embellishment from Tim Holtz and a little key hanging down.

This has been the perfect project to house another hobby of mine, which is embroidery. This is the reason why I choose to decorate this book this way. A magical book full of enchantment.

This is the inside of the book.
