Finally finished three Cards...

I had stamped and coloured in all three of these images ready to make card some time back so today I finally got round to making them into cards I like to have a stock of cards ready for peoples birthdays. Look no green...

Altered Ikea Mirror

I love altering Ikea mirrors this one has taken a long time to do First I sponge painted the frame in orange. Then I modge podged the frame with matt modge podge then I set about altering 16 children's wooden dominoes, this took quite some time I used a uni paint marker pen in gold to do all the edges of the dominoes I then altered them all in toning colours, adding gems, feathers, ribbons, buttons, butterflies and flowers. I must admit I am pleased with the finished effect.

Please excuse the dirty mirror section I have only just stuck the dominoes on the frame and wanted to get it on my blog ASAP .

Romantic gesture from my husband

My husband know how much I love green, well most of you know by now, so while we were out the other day at an outlet centre, we went in "the pier" My other purchased these wonderful items of jewellery for me

I adore that wonderful green.

Matchbook swop

I made this birthday Card some time back for Carole

But could not show it sooner, as I did not want to spoil the surprise, then I lost the photo I took of it,

Also Carole and I have just done a tag swop, well I send mine early not to put any pressure on Carole you understand, just to let her see how fast I can be...sometimes...not often, but sometime lol I can now sit back at my and await my tag from Carole :) Now when making my tag for Carole I wanted her to think of me when she looked at it so, well can you guess what colour I made it?

A few more flowers

I wanted to try the heart shaped flowers in different colours. I wondered how brown and teal would work

My new earrings I love the little anchors and rope knots how cute are they:) Look Carole they are not green lol

                                                                                  LOL but my other new earrings are green. Not the best photo but I love both of them I love jewellery Costume jewellery is so much fun :)

Altered childrens Dominoes

I found a box of wooden children dominoes in a charity shop, well you know how it is I thought they were just right to alter, well I had them quite some time and done nothing at all with them so decided to have a little play.
The picture on the right shows the front of the dominoes before altering

The backs of the dominoes before altering

                                                                             I painted the dominoes with acrylic paints ((yellow ochre)I then stamped script in black archival ink over the top of paint both back and front. I then added embellishments. I have yet to add the ribbons I will use them to hang from my craft bag but they could be necklaces, brooches, key rings, bag bling, mobiles and many more things      

I also had a go altering some dressmakers pins I have altered and used these before, they are fab additions to cards and scrapbook layouts
