Front of "Janelle's Family"



I made this altered tin for my step-daughter Janelle. I used old pictures of her mom and dad, as well as pictures of her husband and two beautiful boys.

Inside of "Janelle's Family"


Cards for Inside of "Janelle's Family"


I attached the six mini ATC style cards together with ribbon and covered the back of each card with matching paper.

Jewelry Pendant



I had to make a piece of jewelry today and this is what I came up with. I used a piece of mat board and painted the front. Then I put on a few stickers and stamped the front with embossing ink. I sprinkled embossing powder on the ink and dried it with my heat gun.

Then I applied the charm with a jump ring. The front of the card was then covered with Diamond Glaze and NOT TOUCHED until 12 hours later. And then only lightly. This morning I painted the edges with gold leaf pen. I'll add a chain the the ring later.

Photobooth #1



This one started out with bright orange acrylic. I then added some deep neutral red and smeared it around until I liked the color.

Then I took a tag and with an exacto knife, cut the head out of an image copy of a photobooth picture. I glued the tag onto the rest of the image that is glued to the card.

Next, I stuck my always "dirty with paint" finger into the yellow acrylic and made "fingerprints" and "smears"all around the edges. When it dried, I inked a big alphabet stamp and laid it over the entire card.

I then glued a curled up beading wire to the lower right half of the card. I love it. What do you think?

Seven



I started this with acrylic paint in yellow. Then I wiped on Raw Sienna brown and smeared it around the edges and wiped off the middle. Next I stamped "7" with black ink and wet my finger to smear that too.

I tried put an image transfer of a woman on top but it didn't come out very good. If you look REAL hard you can see her shoulders under the butterfly.

Then I took an image transfer of a butterfly stamp I have in my stamp collection, and used brads to attach it to the card.

The shiny "7" is embossing powder on top of black ink. I like the way it turned out. You can see it much better by clicking on it and enlarging it.
