Quiet Please

I've been finishing off a project I started in July last year.

It's a canvas, covered in torn printed text from an unwanted book. The lady & the inchie squares were taken from a Great Plains brochure.

I used Distress Inks (antique linen to age the printed quote & peeled paint around the edges). The quote is attributed to Richard Alpert.

I used oil pastels to give age & distress to the image of the lady & added a butterfly to her necklace (from The Graphics Fairy).

Two green buttons thread with brown leather cord adds a little visual interest & balance to the other side.

Sugar & Spice

An inchie made using a digital kit from Lisa's Altered Art & a butterfly image from Dover.

The image is adhered to a mountboard one inch square & the edges sanded.

Green Paper Challenge: The Proposal

A tag made using the three vintage images

given to us by Mary Green at Green Paper for her monthly collage challenge.

You can see the original images here.

The base of the tag is mountboard.

I merged the three images into one digitally,

then printed out the altered image

before mounting on a map background

previously provided for one of Mary's monthly collage challenges.

I added a small torn strip of K & Company patterned paper

& a heart shaped brad.

Thank You

A couple of Thank You cards made using delightful decoupage images by TC Chiu.


Each layer was cut out & their edges gently sanded before being assembled using Pinflair Glue Gel, which gives dimension without the odour of silicon glue.


These are from the Country Cottage set, available from Joanna Sheen.


The backing papers used are by Brenda Walton from her Brianna Collection at K & Company.


A little organza ribbon was used as the finishing touch.

Parrot Tulip

My final decoupage card from Splash Crafts.
