Configuration Frame.


Annette Richmond, sent me the gorgeous Frozen Charlotte, and that's how this frame came about.
Its taken a couple of days, as its been pulled apart and re-arranged a few times.
the Glassine Flowers are a technique taught by Sally Purvis, the bottle is an idea from Celeste Santin.
I go on to explain the bits and pieces in the close up.
Please bare with me, I am no good at photography, and even if I was, I don't have an arm to lift a camera, xxx Thanks for looking...

Configuration Frame. the Middle


I had some help here with the Bottle, there was one little rusty heart sitting by itself, looking a bit lonely, when Celeste Santin from Paper Planet suggested using the bottle.
with a little typed message, which was then distressed, and popped inside the bottle.
I used Tim's Alcohol inks on the bottle..

Configuration Frame. Top Right


I managed to find a Feather to fit inside the little square that has feathered paper,
the frame with the little girls face wasn't meant to come out blue, but the die ran after I put glossy accents onto it.

I was Given this gorgeous Frozen Charlotte from Annette in the USA.
I have never seen one, or used one, and this was how I got started with the frame.
Sally Purvis taught me a technique using Tim's Glassine Kraft paper, and Perfect Pearls from Ranger. I don't know Sally's Blog address yet.
The stamp is also Tim's...from Urban Chic
The Die was from Quickutz

A littel title about rectangles, Tim's Rosette, some corrugated board which I distressed and added some Gold Utee. I do like colour and bling.

Steampunk Tag

I finally received the Die that Marlene used in my gorgeous Birthday card, and this is the first thing I have made using it. I did the same rust method that she used, but the rest is different.

My Very First Chunky ATC for Sharon in S/A.


The mini clock cogs came from www.scrapware.com.au and I rusted them with my new favourite rusting solution.
The top handle was made using a strip of Tim Holtz's Grunge, which I distressed, and all of it was distressed using his inks.
The stamps from Tim's Papillon set.
The name plate at the front is also from Tim's collection I typed the words out on my dymo and burnt the edges using the heat gun.I thought that looked pretty good.
Its got little tiny feet on the bottom. a chain with keys hanging from the top also.
I hope Sharon likes it.

The Back of the ATC, Tim's flourish made out of Grunge

the other side of the ATC


On This side, I tried my hand at Beeswax, but it sort of seeped around to the front and back. which isn't what I wanted, but its there now.

The side punch is made using Tim's Kraft Glassine paper and a Martha Stewart punch

Another Rusty Leaf Tag


This is for a fellow stamper that needed some cheer.
I hope its not too dull.
It's made using the rusty stuff Marlene told me about and I love it.
