4 x 4 Canvas

This is the other canvas I received from Happy Daze.

The Background is painted with Claudine Hellmuth Paints. Then the clock image was sanded and inked before being glued on with Gel Medium, the fusible film, Fibres and Gold embossing powder were added to the background.

The Clock Hands are die cut from Grunge Board, inked and distressed with a texture hammer before being attached with a Brad.

A Stamped Image, computer Generated quote and bead trim was added.

The Maya Road crown is painted and then embellished with fusible film and embossing powder, which was stamped into whilst still hot.

Small canvas

I had 2 great little canvases arrive from Happy Daze this week and this is the smaller of the 2.

I Used the Stampotique image Pearl for the main image. The background is done with Claudine Hellmuth paints, dropped onto the canvas in thick globs and the colours then just swirled to mix on the canvas so they were left in quite thick swirls.

The image was added while the paint was wet, as were the Beadazzles and the small sead beads.It was then heated with a heat gun until all the paint bubbled and popped to give a lovely textured background and also setting all the added elements into it as it dries

Then a bit of Silver embossing powder, a stamped quote and a silver crown to finish it off.

The Stamp for the main image,paints and the Beadazzles are all available from the Happy Daze Site

Grungepaper Ipod Case

My Daughter Saw this on Nicks Blog and asked me to make her one. I adapted it slightly from Nicks design as hers was for an Iphone. But I can take no credit for the design of it as it is hopelssly lifted from her Blog and she very kindly said it was OK for me to Blog it.
Its made of Grunge paper which I have painted with Acrylics and then spritzed with glimmer mists and finally a bit of a pattern stamped on it, before running it though a die cutting machine with a cuttlebug embossing plate to give it texture. Its then joined together with eyelets and a magnetic closure.

Not at all craft related

Andy and I grew this monster on our allotment this year and as we are rather proud of it I wanted to show it off. It weighed 64.5 lbs and we are still deciding what to do with it. I rather think it will become wine,soup and muffins, but who knows really. The butternuts did well this year too. I think they were vying for supremacy with the pumpkin LOL.

Saturday workout 9r's

The Saturday workout theme this week is to make a set of 9 ATC's. I like doing sets of 9 ATC's, so I was very pleased to see this challenge.
