Tattered pine cone

Well that's not a good start...forgot to add a message!

My craftin bud Sue had the TIM Holtz Tattered Pine Cone today...so just had to gave a play...thanks Sue :)

This die goes beautifully with Chocolate Baroque New England Winter stamp set.

Stamped with versamark and brayered over with iced spruce & evergreen bough, over stamped with pine needles & gathered twigs, finished off with hologram embossing powder.

Just have to think how to finish off now...see you later.

Altered Book page

Well I started this probably a couple years ago when I saw an article in a magazine (can't remember which one!).

I cut, painted, glimmer misted, glued & left to dry! Some time later... once it had dried (2 years should do it!) finish project and submit for stampotique challenge!

http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/sdc36-altering-book-page.html

I had always intended to use this with my Chocolate Baroque underwater stamps, which I have but I have only just  discovered stampotique stamps and only have two at the moment but the mermaid fit in perfectly and gave me the incentive to get on and finish this.

I'd been having a play on Friday colouring some calico with distress stains which I thought was perfect for the mermaid.

My first journal page 'Time'

This was done for a member of Chocolate Baroque (Lou) to show her school kids. I found this very therapeutic, I did wander if I'd manage to write enough but soon rambled on and could have gone on and on.

Loads going on, paints, glimmer misting, adding texture with glen paste and of course some stamping. I also managed to incorporate some doodling.
