Prima album

This is an 8 x 8 chipboard album. Decorated using Prima papers. The matts were from matching prima card and I cut out photo mounts .Embellishments used were metal corners and circle as a "button" . Small roses and pearls were used to embellish as well.I used white organza ribbon to tie it closed. The back page has a wooden frame into which a photo can be inserted.

floral coffeepot

Piece of an old jigsaw. I used a brick effect stencil. Then I painted with acrylic paint (burnt umber I think) I fussy cut the coffee pot and inked the edges with TH ink. I used die cut leaves and flower pods. The flowers used were mainly from WOC link below. I added some moss and a clay butterfly inked with TH ink.
The coffee pot was cut from Graphic 45 Botanical tea collection

upcycle

This cute little box was broken/ parts missing and unloved (the inside was pretty decent) I had some Graphic 45 Papers . Botanical Tea Collection, Birds of a Feather. First I removed all the hardware.I lightly sanded the box so it would have "grip", I cut and inked the paper I( used TH ink to colour the edges of the box and paper). I then glued on the papers. I attached a new lock/closure to the front and reattached all the other hardware and replaced missing screws etc. I added some lace and an air dry clay frame with pearls, I also used tiny pearls to the eye of each bird. All the feet I had were wrong size/shape so I used brass spacer beads from an old necklace that had seen better days.(ok the necklace was fine but I really, really needed feet for this project and ill use the beads another time.)

floral

 This card was made using a flower stamp and matching die. The first layer was stamped with memento ink. The next layer was stamped with Juicy ink then smudged ! The top flower was stamped with juicy ink then I used a small amount of Glamour dust to enhance. The die cuts were stamped with memento ink then I removed the stems. To embellish I added small pearls and a small clay heart. The sentiment was stamped and die cut. Inks are one of my favourite mediums to use as they are so versatile and can create some amazing effects,Thanks for stopping by xx Kraftyhugs x
