Time for Tea at TioT

Hello, we have a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and for this fortnight it's Time for Tea
We would love to see what you create with a Tea theme, and it's up to you what medium you use.

I decided on another page to go in my journal binder and found this image on the net and the rest just evolved - I think it had something to do with her looking up to the heavens!

The rest of the DT have some wonderful inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will also find all the details.

That's it from me today, but I'll be back tomorrow with another post for Artistic Outpost.
Have a great day,
Avril xx

La Divina

Hello,  Yesterday I started on a much needed tidy in my little room but I didn't get too far as I started on the   'bit's'   box first.  I came across this crackle embossed tag and a distressed frame which just seemed to be the right size for the tag,  so in true crafter's fashion, the tidy was forgotten and playtime resumed!
The image, from Hero Arts was bought from Ebay about 4 yrs ago and never been used, so, with a few embellishments and a stenciled background, another girly card for the box.

Just a short post as I always seem to be running out of time - wonder why.

Getting Messy!

Hello, and thanks for calling in,  the current challenge at Try it on Tuesday this fortnight is  Let's Get Messy'   and you still have one more week to enter, for all the details, please pop over here

I can't take much credit for the design of this little wall plaque, which started life as an off cut from one of DH's DIY projects, as I saw this on the   Finnabair blog  here,    I just loved the colour and the design.  So with great process pictures, I decided to make one with the bits and pieces in my 'junk/treasure' box.  The background colour is a mix of PaperArtsy Snowflake/Mermaid and a little Taupe rubbed on with my finger.  Some Potting Soil Archival script stamping for some detail.
Paint and gilding wax on the metal and paper clay embellishments along with some bronze seed beads.
A little hanger on the back and it's on the wall and I love it, even though the picture doesn't really do the colour justice!

As always, Thanks for taking the time to call in, I do appreciate it.
