A Finer Crafty-Ness...

Melted UTEE with beads.

Having fun with UTEE :) ( Inspired by the Jennie the artistic stamper ) Take a meltpot & some UTEE... a few metal cookie cutters & a craft sheet..... & hey presto, you have some stars !

I really love all vintage images....

I managed to find an old wooden photo frame the other day so decided to give it a make over. First of all I covered the frame with black acrylic paint. Let it dry completely. Then started embossing Metal strips using a couple of embossing boards. I then painted the metal with black acrylic paint, wiped some off before dry so that you get a worn looking effect. Next I dabbed over the metal with alcohol inks, sprayed the metal with gimmer mists & left to dry. Next, adhered extra strong adhesive tape to the wooden frame & attached the metal strips. Finally I took some old watch faces, dabbed them with alcohol inks & attached a flower I made from grunge paper, some utee stamped with cogs, & now the frame has been given a face lift!

Had a go at embossing some metal foil with ten seconds studio metal tools, & an embossing board.love the way the paper stump flattens out the metal & pushes it over the embossing board. Then covered the metal in black acrylic paint rubbed some off so it looks distessed, & sanded very slightly over the top so it looks distressed even more !

I used more distressed inks, glimmer mists for the backgrounds, & stamped the imgages.

The 'Trust'Tag was stamped with a crafty individuals stamp.

Just started my blogspot site, so please bear with me while I add a few crafty things...
