Lots to do Architecture challenge

This is my entry for the lots to do challenge Architecture, so think I'll send it as a birthday card to my friend in Austrailia as it's so nice and bright
The background is stamped with versamark and coloured with chalks and the building coloured with H20's

Acetate Flowers

After play about with the Tyvek I took to Zoe yesterday it occurred to me that acetate might do something similar so cut some flowers with Tim's die and blasted it with the heat gun ( not the heat resistant one ) and if your careful you can manipulate the petals


How neat are these :)

Water stamping

Some toppers made ready for up and coming birthday cards . These 3 are done with dusty concord and vintage photo on to smooth card and stamped first with water to give depth. I've added a little green to the suqare one with a promarker and then used a sakura glaze pen on the leaves.

Then glossy card that has been inked with distress inks I used broken china and scattered straw and then stamped the flowers with pumice

A quote for Lots to do challenge

All done with my favourite Distress ink, I've used worn lipstick and broken china wrinkle free technique for the background and stamped in Archival I also used glossy accents on the rose buds .I'm really pleased how this came out

UTEE Play






On Sunday I went to the craft barn and had a wonderful time and met Suze Wienburg wow was so great, very friendly and generous making us each a piece honeycomb UTEE jewelery couldn't find the honeycomb pot holder mat but did find a square one at John Lewis so had a play last night
I used a memory frame for the long ones and a large split ring for the squares but as you can see the utee oozes out so you still get the squares not sure what I am going to do with them yet :).
then I thought how would the friendly plastic look so used a few little scrappy bits and I'm pleased with the results



I've use 2 of the friendly plastic embellishments I made on these 2 atc's .
I have used chalks on the backgrounds and then stamped over the top using versamark and on the star fish one dusted with perfect pearls
