Created by hand challenge Coffins

The challenge this week was Coffins, and a coffin template was provided. Not really my scene, so took it as a challenge, and decided to have a coffin you could open and close. The grungeboard scull keeps it closed. The background was inked over a cut out spiders web, and then the images added. I wish I had some halloween type stamps now, it was good fun.

Gothic arch challenge free choice

The challenge on Gothic arches this week is a free theme, so I have put on one I did a while ago. It is of three generations of my family, with my Great Grandma at the top. Little did she know she would feature on an arch one day on the internet.

Dans ma maison Vintage

This week the Dans ma maison challenge is vintage. As I love doing anything vintage I thought I would have a go. The background is inked and collaged, with added images. The lace was added to look like the roof, and a strip at the bottom to finish it off.

My page for Astrid

This is my page for Astrid, in the Round Robin. Her subject is 'Children from a bygone age' I liked this image of the two little boys playing outside, so gave them some snow to play in. I did this with some embossing powder that puffs up when heated. The background is inked and stamped, with a light covering of Gesso to make it look wintery. The back page is made from paper that I clean my encaustic iron on, so it's slightly waxy, I then stamped that and added an image. The wording is " My brothers are playing in the snow. I have to stay in. They gave me a lollypop to keep me quiet. It won't work

Make a Moo or Two Autumn

The challenge on Make a moo or two this week is Autumn. To me Autumn is misty days, fallen leaves, birds flying home, conkers and acorns. http://makeamooortwo.wordpress.com
