Muse


This is a replacement going back to New Zealand, hopefully in one uncrumpled piece. I used some of my crackle tiles, mousse paper and a vintage oil paint tube (been hording it for ages- finally let go!). I really love this card a lot- hope my partner feels the same!

Grunged UTEE


My project for today- grunging UTEE! I watched an old Carol Duvall with Suze on it. She did a fabulous technique involving stamping an image onto a nonstick craft sheet, embossing it, and then pouring melted UTEE from the pot over it. When you peel it off the sheet, the original image you embossed is embedded in the sheet and wow! Well, I sort of did my thing and ended up asking for help to take the shine down and grub it up. I ended up using silver rub'n buff and then dulled it all down with goo gone per Zeborah's recommendation. Pretty close to what I think I want! Next I'm going to try pewter and bronze.....

Inchie Album/ Mini Journal


Here is a little album I embelished with a transparency for another swap on CCS. It is pretty sweet- think I'll make some more!

House Swap


This is a funky card I made in the theme of "houses" for a CCS swap. I love the way it turned out! I used a mesh over the central image for a screened door look. I made a grunge tag, added metal tape for the roofline, buttons on top of washers, and some other stuff. I used a great piece of paisley background paper for the base.

Postcard for Laura in England


Laura is a college student working on a land mail project. She is collecting postcards made from a world atlas she has. This is my contribution ( I used my faux grass background paper!).....

Metal Swap


Here is the book charm/ pendant I made for the metal swap on CCS. I used 2 microscope slides and a slice of a fantastic atc, copper foiled, soldered and added a ring for hanging....
