WOYWW 156 *

A sunny wednesday here.
Happy woyww anniversary to Julia who has made all this happen every wednesday . Many thanks Julia http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/.
So here is my desk from last night . I was just getting cleaned up putting my stamps away ready to have a clean work desk ready for today to show some atc's i've been working on over the last couple of weeks.

The two Alice atc's i made weeks ago & were spare ones i'd made for another atc swap.
Please contact  me at   jill.bersey@yahoo.co.uk   if you'd like to swap an atc with me.

Chunky ATC

I had to make a Chunky Atc for a swap over on ukscrappers. The choosen theme by the lady i was making it for was Domestic Goddess.

I started with two pieces of wood each mearusing 3.5 x 2.5inches & 1 inch thick & 4 wooden beads which i planned on using for the feet.

I painted each piece with Cludine Hellmuth's Altered orange Acrylic paint. The chip board frame was covered with Gold Viva Croco crackle paint . I used Green Viva Inka Gold to rub on the wood & chipboard frame once dried.

The rollong pin & the butterfly were coloured with distress broken china & then stamped using a checked stamp.The copper utencils i found in my local wool shop.

A brass hinge was attached to hold both pieces of wood together & lastly 2 october afternoon card were placed inside.

I can know show this atc because i know it has arrive to my swap partner & she was very pleased with it.

Tag

Here is another large tag i've made using Paperartsy flower stamps http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/hot-pick-xtra-02---flowers-on-ez-mount-2973-p.asp which a friend let me borrow so i could have a play with it.
I've also used some Tim holtzs Inks to colour the back ground of the tag & the stamped images.
The faces & the fish heads have been taken from different parts of the flowers. the grunge rose i made using the flowers as well.
I used glossy accent on the eyes to make them stand out more .

Recieved a Chunky ATC

Over on  Uk Scrapper http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/  there is a swap running where you have to make an Atc but there is a slight difference from the normal flat atc this one has to be 2inches thick which is why it's called a chunky atc.
Lexi http://lexilindley2012.blogspot.co.uk/ was the lady who had to make my chunky in my chossen theme of Vintage/time.
I recieved it today & it's great . Lexi has created my themed atc  by staining the wood & embossing it .
So thank you very much Lexi .

Wednesday again so that means i'm showing you my desk & heading over to Julia's place  http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/ for some fun looking a everyone's desk to see what wonderful creations fellow crafers are working on.

I've made a large tag which was first coloured using Sabby Shutters,Tumbled glass distress inks. Using a crafters workshp stencil i went over tag with spiced marigold distress ink.

The stamped images are from two sets of stamps from Dylusions Doolally Doris & Ruby Rainbow & were stamped onto white card .

These were coloured in distress stains , mustard seed, broken china,wild honey & peeled paint.

Here is the finished tag now everything is stuck down .

Hope everyone has a fun day today & happy crafting .

Mini screen

I've finally finished yesterday the little screen i  had been making which fits in quite nicely for the theme of anything goes over on http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.co.uk/
I love the way it turned out .
I used Paperartsy very berry acrylic paint & stamps.
rubbed on some inka gold green which was a first time of using it for me & just love it.
The stamped images were stamped on some card which i had already been coloured using Dylusions spray inks.
I did'nt have any cord or ribbon in the right colour to tie the sides together so i coloured some string using Dylusions spray inks again.

ATC's

Just wanted to share a couple of atc's i've made for an atc swap with the theme of helping hand.
The back ground was made using dylusions ink sprays .
The hand is a paperartsy stamp which i stamped onto a couloured piece of paper then cut it out to stick on the atc. The spider is one of Dylusions stamps.
I tied a piece of black cotton into a bow around the finger so that it looks like its all part of the spiders thread hanging down.
The fence i cut using a Martha Stewart punch which was coloured & stamped over.

On Uksrapper Leanie http://craftaholicleanie.blogspot.co.uk/  is running a Tag swap for may where we have to make three tags with the theme being Hexagons .
First i covered the tags with Claudine Hellmuths Altered orange Acrylic paint , then left it to dry.
Using a hexagon crafters workshop stencil i went over the stencil with Claudine Hellmuths yellow pastel Acrylic paint which gave this lovely slighty raised Hexagon back ground, then left this to dry.

Next i used Scattered Straw, Crushed olive to ink over a couple of pages from an old book then with the tattered florals die i cut these flowers.

I inked round the edges with Spiced Marmalade.

With a bee stamp a stamped the image three times on the tags & used a yellow Posca paint pen to add colour to the bee.

With saga green Archival ink i stamped some leaves on .
