Gothic Arch - Time

Good morning everyone, it’s going to be another beautiful day. I hope you’re all having a lovely bank holiday weekend.
I have a Gothic arch to share with you, I made it for a UK Stampers challenge, the theme is time.

I used Paperartsy Fresco Finish paints on the background and a Seth Apter circle stencil. The doll [Non Sequitur] was stamped onto card that I had previously coloured, I used pencils to add a bit more colour then I cut her out and adhered her to the background. I embellished the arch with remnent rubs, metal clock hands and a word sticker.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look, have a lovely bank holiday Monday whatever you're doing, I'm going to have a lazy day in the garden and perhaps a some crafting. xxx Hazel.

Mad Tea Party Journal Page

Good morning all, it's a lovely bright morning here - a bit chilly though.

I'm linking my page to the Art Journal Journey challenge the theme is Magical Mystery Tour.

My old London bus whooshed me through the swirly tunnel to visit the Mad Hatter's Tea Party,

I decided to have a go at a digital page and for the background I used one of my photographs of a field of buttercups.

I added images from a My Craft Studio programme called Make A Date. When I was happy with the result I printed it and glued into my journal.

I painted the swirl with white acrylic paint and stamped the Emma Godfrey swirl with black Archival ink. I stamped the Paperartsy bus onto shrink plastic with Stazon and shrunk it, I glued it to the page. I cut some words out of an old Alice In Wonderland book, stamped some Indigo Blu words and a Non Sequitur clock and added them to the page. I doodled round the edge of the page.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look.

KCUK Deco Swap

The KCUK 2013 Deco Book Swap is well under way and I'd like to share the pages that I made for June - her theme is Steampunk, in fact steampunk is the theme for a few of the members in my group.

I coloured the background with old paper Distress ink direct to the card and used dusty concord and vintage photo to stamp the images.
I covered some card with aluminium foil. I stamped the main image onto card and coloured with Promarkers and stamped it again onto the metal card with black Stazon. I went over the stamping with an embossing tool and then cut out parts of the images and adhered them over the coloured image. I did the moth in the same way. I embellished the page with cogs and chain and I gave her a hat cut out of the metal card.
The stamps that I used are
7Gypsies and Creative Expressions for the background.
Non Sequitur for the main image.
PaperArtsy for the moth.

I coloured the card with spun sugar Distress ink direct to the card and used victorian velvet and vintage photo to stamp the background. The flower and leaves were stamped onto the metal card with black Stazon and cut out. I stamped the lady and coloured her with spiced marmalade then cut her out. I embellished the card with cogs.
Stamps that I used are
Scrolls Work, 7Gypsies and PaperArtsy for the background.
Stampington for the lady.
PaperArtsy for the flower.

Time Tag

It's the Artful Times third challenge and the theme is Time.

I made a tag for the challenge. I embossed the tag with  a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder. All the elements have been coloured with a mixture of Pan Pastels and Distress Ink. The stamps that I used are by Non Sequitur.

Yellow and Blue Alice

This is my first entry to the Altered Alice  monthly challenge, the theme for this month is blue and yellow and it's being sponsored by Artistic Outpost.
I started by stencilling some flowers onto some card. I used mustard seed Distress ink and a stencil that was free in Simply Homemade, then I went round the edge of the card with faded jeans Distress ink. I coloured all the stamped images with Promarkers except for the clock, I coloured that with Distress ink. The clock is hanging from a Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations hanging sign die cut that I'd coloured with blue Promarker. I used a couple of brads to attached the clock. Before attaching the cut out images I attached a piece of a page from an old Alice book. I also tore out the first verse of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee's poem and attached it
to their image. I added a piece of ribbon to the bottom of the hanging.
The stamps that I've used are
Non Sequitur, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, the Rabbit and clock.
The Cherry Pie Art Stamps, Cheshire Cat and Alice.

Mini Alice Hanging

I made this for a mini hanging swap over on UK Stampers.
I started with a 3"x3" piece of mountboard, then I found a page with the Cheshire Cat on in an old Alice book and stuck it to the mountboard. I dabbed on Viva Ferro over the leaves and when it dried I dabbed on various colours of Viva Gold. I stamped the cat and Alice onto white card, coloured them with Promarkers, cut them out and double embossed them with clear embossing powder before attaching to the hanging. The white rabbit and Tweedledum and Tweedledee were stamped onto shrink plastic and coloured with coloured pencil. After I cut them out I put a hole in so that I could hang them from the wire.
The stamps that I used are
Cherry Pie Art Stamps, Alice and the rabbit.
Non Sequitur, Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
I'm not sure who made the Cheshire Cat.
