MMM - Challenge 7

By
We are still concentrating on VINTAGE over on the Make My Monday challenge blog and this week it's all things shabby. The challenge is produce work that has been CRUMPLED or TORN.
Well this one had me thinking but after a rummage through my stash drawer I found my Hot off the Press 'Botanical Ephemera' book. There are some fabulous images in there just right for some vintage shabby chic - take a look
The Fuchsia images were cut from the book and stuck down on to a piece of cream paper that had been ripped around the edges - they were inked with Tea Dye DI also. The embossed swirl down the side is a stamp (also from Hot off the Press) and was embossed with gold powder.
Hope you are able to join in the challenge this week - it would be great to see your work too. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
