Altered box




Well this is my project that i have been playing with today, altering a box. I covered box with white acrylic paint and then used chipped sapphire distress ink on the edges.covered bottom of box with midnight blue cosmic shimmer mist,love this stuff.inked words around the edge of box lid and added distress crackle paint to lid and used chipped sapphire to highlight cracks.stamped images onto stampboard and then crackled and distressed.I used sunlight mist and midnight blue cosmic shimmer on flowers and stuck to lid. Have got really messy but enjoyed making this.

Tag You're It challenge

Well have been blog hopping as you do and have found this fab tag challenge blog where each week they set a theme for your tag and as i am enjoying playing with tags at the moment its perfect for me so have had a play.You can find this fab tag blog here



This is for week two of Tag You're it challenge and the theme is'I can see clearly now' so i have been playing with my distress inks and glitter today,used tim holtz acetate film strip which i stapled to tag and added gems,letter beads and ribbon from stash.



The first tag is for the theme 'On the bough' and i have used my distress inks for this one and the bird stamp is from tim holtz urban chic set.i raided my stash for the raffia and tassel.

I now have a black bag full of odds and bits that have been lurking in my cupboards...lol. have saved any bits that i could use for crafting and the rest are in the bin,being very brave.Trying to declutter the house at the moment but have to be sneaky otherwise hubby will bring it back in....lol.Have been nosing round some of the blogs in my attempt to catch up and what gorgeous cards everyone.Well off to get some lunch and maybe make something,x
