Arty girlz challenge 40 ''Nature'', created by hand challenge ''Altered''

For this weeks Arty Girlz challenge i decided to enter a decorated a tin, which also fits the altered theme for created by hand. This is a simple round tin you can buy from any good craft shop. The base is primed and takes alcohol inks so easily and looks lovely. Tho the ink can scratch very easily a fixative like glossy accents glaze or if you have it an acrylic paint fixative that you would spray on a canvas painting. No idea what i am going to fill it with yet. I made this tin at Samuel Taylors, I choose the colours and paper and ribbon used. The tin shape was chosen for me.

For this weeks challenge i decided that since its summer i would enter a Christmas card, i know going through your mind a big resounded huh summer Christmas that don't add up well I'm not a summer person give me winter sports holidays over laying on a beach cooking any day!!!!

So standard square card half of the front edge cut off, stamped with Adirondack ink and the colour slightly pulled out with a water brush. Alcohol inked main image then stamped with stazon. Ribbon added because it looked like it was lacking something :) Disclaimer: i did not design this card nor am i taking credit for the layout.

Arty Girlz Challenge 37 ''Paint''

Arty Girlz Challenge 36 ''Wings''

This weeks arty girlz challenge is ''Wings''. I have made 2 ATC's and a Brooch. I have just swapped with a friend on a forum some of my unwanted stuff for hers. In hers was a lovely torso art mould so i thought ohhh lets get burnt and get the melting pot out, and yes i did burn myself about three times which is the usual practice for me and the melting pot, kind of a love hate relationship really. Anyhow so i had some lovely rubon's my mom gave me that she didn't want, they are super quality and filled with glitter no idea who makes them, well some butterfly's and dragonfly's were in the selection so here is my entry to ''wings''. Don't know if i am going to swap them or keep them or send them as RAKS I'm undecided.

Arty Girls Challenge 35 Recycling

This weeks Arty Girlz challenge is to recycle something.


For my entry i decided to recycle an old tin i got for Christmas that had hot chocolate in it that was also awful so a good excuse to throw it away.

The new re-vamped tin is now full of buttons, you know the ones you get on new clothes and then always loose, well i do anyhow.
