Hello Bloggers I hope all is well in your world.
Rather wet, dark. and rainy today I'm afraid, and I think we have more days like this to come. I know my pooch hates the rain and cannot stand his paws to be wet.


 Today I have started on a christmas theme. I have altered a canvas firstly by using brushed corduroy distress ink and a touch of gold mica powder. I have added a pine cone, leaves and small pearls along the side and added string and bow. Next I have covered 4 mount board pieces with flitter glue and used gilding flakes over the top. I stamped out the letters NOEL onto heavy cardstock, and then put into the meltpot, I do love my meltpot, it is fab. I hope you like it and I am using this for the lovely Hels Sheridan's Sunday challenge Winter. Take care.x

You hold the key to my heart

Hello  and welcome. I have made a canvas and hope you like it. 
I started by covering in white gesso, then used a couple of masks  with distress inks.  I added some white modelling paste and  mixed it with h20's in purple. I used a mask to add some texture . I used some Mr Huey sprays to add more colour.
Using a stamp from Tim H I stamped the verse out on tissue paper covering  the reverse with white acylic and stuck down with a pva. The heart was a die cut and sprayed with various paints, and I used a black piece of melt art on top. I distressed a couple of wooden embellishments sticking down with a  
 leaf underneath  To finish off I used a butterfly on a chrome chain and added a key and lock to finish.
I am using this for Hels Sheridan Sunday challenge of keys. 
Take care x
