Butterfly Notes.

 

At Easter my daughter told me that she didn't want any chocolate, strange woman, so I altered a notebook and clipboard and made a post it note holder for her. I took the covers of the notebook and covered them with some pretty pink paper that was free with issue 3 of the Simply Homemade magazine. I went round the edges with vintage photo Distress ink. I used coffee Archival ink to stamp the background and the main butterfly image. I put some butterfly tissue tape on the cover and then matted some corrugated card and the image.

I was in a swap last year on KCUK and Chris the lady I swapped with made me a lovely post it note holder so I coppied how she made hers. I covered some mountboard with the paper then I stamped the main image onto card and cut them out individually and attatched them to the cover.

I painted the clipboard with some pink emulsion paint then stamped the background images with vintage photo Distress ink then I put a couple of strips of butterfly tissue tape on it. I attached a piece of stamped paper across the board. The main images were stamped with coffee Archival ink and then attached to the board. I also decorated the other side but didn't take a photo.
All the stamps that I used are of the Stampers Anonymous Papillon set.

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.
