Apple picking time

Hi
It is Tracey here with my inspiration post for this month . The sponsor for this months challenge is
Robyns Fetish stamps and more 

For my inspiration project I have used the lovely image called Apple's in a basket ... from Robin's Fetish and you can find it HERE . I made a card and matching cute basket which I filled with English cox apples for the photo...The image was coloured with promarkers and crafters companion blendable pencils. The gingham papers are free downloads from Bev Rochester . The flowers on the card  are from wild orchid . The flowers on the basket are made using a punch.

The ribbon was sent  to me as part of my monthly pack .I used my Trusty bow maker to form all the double looped bows...It is my go to tool for perfect easy bows time after time..

A little paper church ...

 Hi all
I have had these dies from Tim Holtz for ages and I have finally had a play with them .They are by Tim Holtz its his dwelling die and church tower die. I Kraft card which I gesso'd and inked with old paper distress ink for the main body of the church but used TH distress card for the roof and door which I used sandpaper on .The trees started life white and I inked them with forest moss distress ink and added rock candy distress stickles and glitter to sparkle them up. The fence was die cut and distressed the same as the church. I made a stand for it using an old canvas which I covered in paper... This was such fun to make and the possibilities for you to change the design using different papers and mediums are endless.... They are slightly addictive too lol so be prepared for a whole village coming soon

A little mixed media

 

Hi all

It has been a while since I have blogged on a daily basis....Bad blogger that I am ,well I plan to rectify this from today so on Saturday I had a few crafty buddies round to my house for a little mixed media box altering ... we had a lovely time chatting and getting the boxes finished o I thought I would show the fabulous boxes that they all made the one above was the one I did. I used the Tim holtz weathered clock die and idea -ology clock face  ,metal locks,keys and buckles are all from the works. The ornate frame behind the metal clock face is a chipboard piece from scrapiniec. I used wild orchid flowers, heavy black gesso from prima art basics,tissue paper ,stencils lindys sprays and pebeo guilding wax in empire gold...

The boxes came from the works and here is what they started out as.

so here is the lovely Judiths  finished box

Here is the Lovely Linda's finished box

Here is Paul's finished box

Paul has a blog too if you would like to go and visit to see the fabulous projects paul has been creating ...you will find his blog HERE ( http://craftyblogocks.blogspot.co.uk/ )
I think you will agree that these boxes are just fantastic ....you would never believe that this was their first ever attempt at an altered box .... suffice to say it wont be their last lol
There was also another crafter with us  Maxine .... who managed to take off before I got some pics of her masterpiece so pics to follow .....
Happy crafting
