More Placemats

Good morning all, I have been working on some more placemats, this time for Mum. She had some old ones that had seen better days so asked if I could do something with them. 

I started by giving them a good sand and then cleaning them. Then I added some decorative card from the stash with spray adhesive. 

Once that was stuck down and dry I gave them a good coat of spray varnish. Unfortunately this took an absolute age to dry and even then stayed quite tacky, so I had to give them another sand down and this time sealed them with some Ranger Glue N Seal. 

the edges needed some tidying up, so I went round them with Treasure Gold - Classic. 

Then on one of the mats I made a border with Redline tape and put some gold leaf flakes on top. Then I sprayed over the whole mat with a gold shimmer spray. 

On the second mat I went around the edge with a gold marker pen,

and then gave it a light coat with the gold shimmer spray. 

I just have a few more to do now!

Hope you like them, take care and I'll see you soon.

Lily's Room - Door Plaque

Good morning all, hope you are well. I'm back at work today after a few days off because of the flu etc. So I hate to think what's waiting for me lol. But I'm sure it will be OK.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago, I made a door name plaque for one of my granddaughter's, Isabelle. 

Well when her big sister saw it she asked if she could have one, but a little more grown up. Well she is a big 6 lol. So this is what I've made for Lily. 

I used an artists canvas board again, but this time I covered it with lots of pieces of paper from the stash, all cut at different sizes.

I inked all around the edge with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, and then sealed it all with Ranger Glue N Seal.

The little girl is an All Dressed Up digi stamp, which I coloured with Copics and Spectrums. I stuck her on with Cosmic Shimmer and then went over her with Glue N Seal. 

I coloured the chipboard letters with a Picked Raspberry Distress Marker, and stuck them on. I wanted to give the letters a bit of definition so I went around them with a black fine liner pen.

Then I added three different types of lace to the bottom using the hot glue gun and finally finished it off with a ribbon bow and some paper flowers. 

Hope you like it, Lily loved it.

Take care, see you soon.

Bedroom Door Name Plate

Good morning all, hope you are well. We are having some very strange weather here at the moment. One minute it's lovely sunshine, the next it's chucking it down with rain. Can't win lol.

Anyway, today's post is a little name plate that I have made for my granddaughter Isabelle's bedroom door. Her mummy asked me to make one as she hasn't had her own bedroom before so has never had a door plate. 

This is what I came up with. I started with a canvas board and covered it with Spun Sugar Distress Paint, and then blended around the edges with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. 

The image is from All Dressed Up, and I coloured her with Copics and Promarkers. 

I used some stick on letter's for the name, and then sealed everything with Ranger Glue N Seal, in a gloss finish. 

I made the flower using a Diesire die and some purple felt, then added some little paper roses. 

Then I finished it off with a few butterflies and gems. Now I've been asked to make another one for Lily's door lol.

Hope you like it. Take care and I'll see you soon.

New desk tidy

Good morning all and welcome to the weekend. Hope you are all enjoying some nice weather wherever you are. We've had a couple of bad thunderstorms lately so I am hoping the weekend will be nice.

Today's post is a little project that I've had sat on my desk for a while now, and never got around to doing. So this week I made myself get it finished ;o)) 

It started with this holder from an empty hand wash and hand lotion set. I thought It might come in handy for something. 

Then I found these two empty pots fitted into the holes perfectly lol. 

So after a bit of sprucing up, this is what I have now. 

I covered the base and tubs with papers from the Docrafts Midnight Blush Capsule Collection.

I used Ranger Glue N Seal in Matte to stick everything down and to give it a seal.

Then I added some lace around the base. 

I decided to chop the small lip off the very top of the pots so that they sat better in the holder, so I covered the rims with some more lace. 

Now it is sat on my desk holding all my little tools and pens etc. 

Hope you like it, take care.

See you soon.
