Matchbox Advent Calendar

I set the challenge to make a Matchbox advent calendar.

This consists of 24 matchboxes - surprise, surprise covered in paint, paper and distress ink, then accented with stickles. The base and top were made from chipboard painted, spritzed with glimmer mist and rolled off gesso then topped with prima flowers.

Too good to miss!

Hallowe'en Canvas

I set the challenge to make a Hallowe'en styled canvas, I had several ideas of what I wanted to do for this but this simple canvas really just evolved from the moment I got the acrylic paints out.

I trapped a skeleton in the spider's web in the recess part of a canvas and add a few spiders (I don't think the camera has found them) so I made a double sided canvas.

Forum Birthday Card

I made this card for my forum friend Carrie, using one of my favourite stamps from Paperbag Studios on a distressed ink background. The base flowers I brought back from holiday and topped them with Prima flowers. The background paper is from Graphicus. Hope you liked it Carrie.
