SCD and guest designer

So this weeks theme is CROWNS and my friend Ang asked if i would be there guest designer this month. So this is what i have come up with. The Background is coloured in with broken china distress ink and the crowns are stamped with chipped Sapphire and its then had a liberal coating of rock candy distress paint. The Alice in wonderland image is a stamped on to white card and coloured in with wild honey and rusty hinge distress inks and mounted on to background using foam pads. (stamps are from stamp attack ) Finally i stamped the word crown on to some white card stock, inked the edges and then covered in glossy accents. Would love to know what you all think .

SCD challenge Twinchie no 3

This weeks theme is "PARIS". I have to say, this wasn't easy but i had some small round images on my computer and low and behold (if you look close up)there was one with a ladies head and the Eiffel tower in the background. So i decided to turn it into one of those prima pebbles by covering it in UTEE. The background is a couple of Tim Holtz acrylic stamps, stamped in brushed corduroy distress ink and a small cats eye ink pad (Merlot). The clock again is a transparency image, a small amount of dictionary page on the sides, and twine wrapped around the bottom.

This weeks SCD challenge

The challenge theme this week is flowers. So after much thought i decided to print off an image i had stored in my computer. I reduced to size and printed it on to a transparency, which give my image a film like quality. I covered my 2x2 inch base in dictionary paper, inked the edges in brown ink and a brown pen. When i placed my image on the top i found that you could see all the printed text underneath, especially on her face which i didn't like. So i found some off white acrylic paint and dabbed it on to the dictionary paper and placed my image. Not only did this give the effect i wanted but it also adhered the image.
The flowers in the corner were punched out of cream shrink plastic with Martha Stewart punch (a punch and stamp set) So once i punched three out (i wouldn't advice this as the shrink plastic is a little on the thick side and it was quite hard to Punch through, if you have a die cutting machine find a flower style you like and you can probably get the same effect), i used the stamp supplied to make the coloured centers, shrunk with a heat gun and slightly curled the edges before it cooled. (you will need asbestos fingers for this job LOL! ) and then adhered it to my 2x2 with glossy accents.

SCD Challenge

SCD have a twinchie challenge this month, with prizes to be won. A twinchie is a 2x2" piece of art work and this weeks theme is BUTTERFLY. I decided to have ago with some fabric and covered a piece of chipboard with a scrap of fabric, stamped an image on paper and coloured with distress inks and used my sewing machine to sew around the edges. I like the way it has made a frame for the small image. I then covered a chipboard butterfly in dictionary paper and applied the small butterfly rub on's to the fabric. Its a little chintzy, but i think it works well.

Hope on over to the blog and see what everyone else had made
