Tiny houses....

Hello friends

Hope you are all good!

Happy May day to you!

Sorry Ive not been around much....

Life has been pretty hectic of late

and Ive been really busy enjoying some much needed

 family/friends time!

Today I thought I would share a couple of Tiny houses from Tim Holtz/Sizzix

I love creating with this die...

( one of my favourites!)

After cutting the die out, I gessoed the chipboard.

Next I painted with distress paint,

 when it was dry I sanded the colour back with some sandpaper to give a worn look.

I then painted them with vintage collage medium.

I mixed up some of the paper dolls with the botanical ephemera pack 

I then added some clippings for the words and some of the Idea-ology tape 

The stars are from Idea-ology too! 

The paper dolls were painted with distress paints 

I hope you like them!

As always feel free to leave a comment, I appreciate you popping by!

Have a lovely week!

Curious boys...

Hello friends

Hope you are all good!

Its been a super busy week here,

but I actually cleared my desk at the start of the week in a bid to be more organised....

it lasted 2 days.... I cannot find a thing! 

Sigh....I'm resigned to the fact that I will never be tidy and I'm completely hopeless at being organised!

After all the excitement of the Creativation show, the postman bought me some happy mail             (available here)....as soon as I saw this sizzix die, I knew it would be in my shopping basket! Its called "Tiny Houses" by Tim Holtz....I think its one of my favourites ever!

The die not only cut but scores too, so makes it really easy to assemble, I covered my chipboard in Tim Holtz paper stash, then ran it though my machine.

I assembled the houses and stuck them down with collage medium

I then added lots of layers of distress paints, gesso, vintage medium and distress crayons to create a really grungy look.

Next I selected my Paper dolls ( Idea-ology) I chose these two brothers and painted them using distress paints.

I then Layered them on top of some cogs (Idea-ology) added some Remnant rub-ons, washi tape, a star, ruler for a chimney and words from  the clippings stickers 

(All the Idea-ology and mediums are available from Art from the Heart here)

Nearly forgot...Those butterfly wings are from the new Idea-ology ephemera packs...you may need them too!

As always feel free to leave a comment, I really appreciate each and everyone!

Have yourselves a great weekend!
