Altered hoop.

 Hi folks, I discovered a few more item in my stash as i was tidying up. The hoop was given to me some time ago and i came across a roll of canvas too !  First I cut the canvas to fit and lightly covered with gesso (as it was pre primed) Using my paper crimper i crimped some kraft card and attached to the canvas.. I wrapped twine/string around the hoop and attached some pearl string.Using flowers bought from Wild Orchid Crafts and a heart shape (card) and round large and medium size pearls i attached these using hot glue.Using gesso and acrylic paint i added small amounts, once dry I used Acrylic glitter varnish over some areas (hard to see with the light) Using silver / bronze leaf i added this on small areas.I had no plans to craft today only to tidy but could not resist having a play when i discovered the hoop. (it inspired me to create something )xx Thanks for stopping by xx

Album cover

Hi folks. I had a good rummage through my stash, sorting papers etc. I discovered some beautiful Lemoncraft and Pion design papers I bought such a long while ago and they were perfect for the from cover of an album I am creating. The image was from the Pion papers (Images from the past)  and inspired me to create my album cover,and the backing paper is Lemoncraft (everyday spring). The bamboo sticks i also dusted with TH distress ink.The frame i made with air dry clay using a mould. I also discovered boxes of mulberry two tone Rose petals. These were used to die cut the flowers and for the centres I used Novo pearls.. Using a stencil and TH distress ink I created the script on the paper. On top right and bottom left I added sand for texture.The green leaf was die cut (Lady E Hydrangea dies) The leaf sprays were also die cut from kraft card.The string and pearl, skeleton leaf and berries came from my stash. Thank you for stopping by, have a great weekend.
