Heart & Soul

Hello friends

Hope you are all good!

Wishing you a very Happy Valentines day...

A quick post today to share a project I made a while ago

I used an Idea-ology vignette panel as a base, covered in an original

 french bank statement from 1922.

I then took a laser (photocopy) copy of a photograph of one of my vintage photos and created a image transfer onto the panel.

I then added lots of layers, ephemera, old key, cogs, old buttons, etc.

I used distress paints and inks to distress the panel.

To finish I made a frame from an old ruler and placed the panel in the middle 

The word is from the New Tim Holtz Quote chips and as it's valentine's I added some hearts.

As always feel free to leave a comment, I really appreciate you taking time out to comment.

Have yourselves a lovely week!

Bye for now

A splash of colour.....

Hello friends!

Hope you are good!

Have you had a good week? Its been a cold one here brrrr....

There's been lots going on in the craft world, lots of new releases, new inspiration and lots of new products that we all NEED!

I am so looking forward to what the Creativation show brings us this coming week....its such an exciting time!

So just a quick post tonight, 

 to share a quick make using lots of colour.....yes thats me using colour!

(it's good to come out of your comfort zone and experiment....and as  its January I needed a splash of colour to lift these dark winter days!)

The image is from my own vintage collection that I photo-copied and

did an image transfer using gesso

I highlighted the girls using distress paint (mustard seed)

I then added lots of splashes of colour using lots of distress paints. 

Next I stamped using Black  Archival ink and Tim Holtz Mixed Media 2 stamp set 

I created a patchwork of stitching from some off cuts and added some Remnant rub-ons 

To finish I added some words from Big chat ( idea-ology) and backed it onto black card...

As always feel free to leave a comment, I really do appreciate you popping by...

and when the CREATIVATION show has finished, I will be back

to share some of my secret projects with you...

(I really cannot wait!)

Have a great week!
