Nature

Thank you to all who joined our Hatters Christmas and shared your lovely projects. Hopefully some good Christmas ideas have been swapped.
This week we are celebrating Nature it is a perfect time of year for it, everything turning such gorgeous colours, although my tag is more like Spring LOL well it must be spring in Australia.
I have DI inked the tag with worn lipstick, antique linen and tea dye, then stamped with text. The flower blossom is from an old book page and was already torn so I used it and inked the edges. The note edged green card is a punch I have from Stampin up. To decorate I have used tea stained lace, buttons. A piece of muslin stained with worn lipstick and ruffled into a flower fixed with a button, and a little chipboard butterfly painted gold. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave me lovely comments. Do be sure and check out Florence, Janet and Chrissie lovely projects. Take care and thanks for joining us.
Hugs as Always. Sandra XXX 

Twinchies

It is always nice to have folks join us and I thought the entries last week were lovely entries thanks for joining the hatters.
I do hope you will join us again and don't forget Janet has a fab prize for July.
This week it is twinchies, I have made a nature inspired tag which has been painted, inked and background stamped and given a gesso wash. I added bits of corrugated card rubbed with gold leaf and pieces of text paper. The twinchie squares (for those of you not familiar with the term, a twinchie is 2x2) again these are inked and have had a guesso wash, background stamped in grey and then stamped in black with a variety of nature stamps, finished off with a few punched out butterflies and a flower. I have to admit I struggled this week my mojo went on vacation I think or had drowned in a puddle LOL. Do make sure you visit Florence, Janet and Chrissie have a lovely weekend even if we get yet more rain and thanks for stopping by. Hugs Sandra XXX

Altered Domino Book

How lovely to have so many take part in last weeks challenge such fabulous entries I really enjoyed visiting your blogs.
We have a fab challenge this week at Out of A Hat Creations and I do hope you give it a go this week I just loved making this little altered domino book a first for me. And the best bit is we the DT of OOAHC decided to swap our makes for this challenge very exciting. I managed to get a box of doms from a charity shop for a £1 so I can now makes loads of them LOL.
I covered with music paper and painted with gold leafing around the edges. made the beaded butterfly and blinged it up. The theme of my book is nature. The inside is card which has been distressed and inked. Then back stamped with a leafy swirl in grey and used various nature stamps on one side and the leafy swirl on the other. I added a little dangler. I do hope you can join us. Be sure to check out Florence, Janet and Chrissie blog to see what they have made. Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments. Hugs Sandra XXX
