All Things Crafty Monthly Challenge

Over at All Things Crafty - Ju has challenged us to make something using a 3D butterfly.

I have altered a beermat and made it into a wall hanging.
I covered the mat with sticky backed canvas and coloured it with acrylic paints. I made a rose and my butterfly was made with metal in my CB. The sentiment is from butterfly kisses and finally added my wire. Hope my swap partner likes it.

Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog - Go Postal

This fortnights challenge over at Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog is to go Postal!

I have used some Balsa wood and stamped a postcard onto it. I then got my burny tool and etched away the stamping. I lightly coloured the wood with some distress inks to age the wood. This piece is ATC sized.

All Things Crafty Art Raffle - May

Kathleen has chosen this months theme for the art raffle over at All Things Crafty which is Oriental.

I have made a canvas - coloured it red and added some oriental script and then stamped the lady which is a craft stamper freebie. I then added some oriental coins.

Crafting Corner Variety Swap - Collaged Canvas

The theme this month is to make a collage on a canvas.
This is my take on it. I used acrylic dabbers for the background and then stamped my sentiment on some tissue paper and used mod podge to stick it to the canvas. I then cut out my butterflies from Crafty Individuals and stuck them all around the canvas. I finally added a metal butterfly with glossy accents.
