Altered Matchbox by Neil

Lundi 8 août 2011

Good morning everyone

I hope this finds you all well and happy.

This morning I thought I’d share this altered matchbox with you

Well, yes, there are 3 here!  I used the Vinci Vitruve plate. to stamp the matchboxes and coloured them in with watercolour paints. I then covered them with rocky candy crackle.

Hopefully you can see a bit more detail! On the left is the base of the inside but no crackle so it still closes ok.

Inside I put a mini accordion domino book stamped with images from the plate and distressed with inks and the sentiment inside says “always dream, the bigger the better” There is also a charm made of various bits with meanings.

So, hope you like it. It’s a challenge working so small but it was fun. Two have been sent away for a swap and the third one is going into my special cupboard!

Have a lovely day everyone and be blessed in your creative journey!

Neil

Little bit of storage !

Jeudi 4 août 2011

The project I am sharing with you this week is a folder that I am storing some of my Katzelkraft stamps in ! I spotted a project in the latest Craft Stamper magazine and thought I would make one for my Katzelkraft stamps.

I’ve used Distress Stains and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls spray on my craft mat and then pressed the covers onto it. I’ve then stamped the covers using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and Black Archival ink. The stamps sets I’ve used are Paris Monuments, Adore and Paris Postal. The lettering is made from Grunge Board letters, covered in black acrlic paint, sanded and then Vintage Photo DI rubbed over them.

I hope you all have a lovely day !

Un assortiment peu.by Zuzu

Mardi 2 août 2011

I havent had much of a chance to craft recently as I have gone through a patch of bad health so I thought I would share an some projects that I havent shown on this blog before.

I have been altering some little hardboard books, measuring three inches by three inches. one has the theme Nature and one has the theme of Egypt.

(S’il vous plaît excuser mon mauvaise traduction vers le français)

Je nai pas eu beaucoup de chance de concevoir récemment que je suis passé par un patch de mauvaise santé alors j’ai pensé que je voudrais partager une certaine projets que je havent montré sur ce blog avant.

J’ai été modifier certains livres isorel peu, mesurant trois pouces sur trois pouces. Personne n’a le thème Nature et personne n’a le thème de l’Egypte.

**************************

And here are two greetings cards.

Et voici deux cartes de vœux.

Thank you for looking and I hope to be back to crafting full time again by my next visit here.

Merci de regarder. C’est tout pour maintenant. J’espère être de retour à la création de nouveau par ma prochaine visite.
