Altered Jigsaws

From this..........





To these!
All were done using distress inks & stamped images then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

My clip board



I firstly used gesso, then sanded down. Used various distress inks on both sides then stamped an image with black staz on the finished off with ribbon. Added chipboard letters which were embossed with clear embossing powder.

Stampbord Part 2


Stampbord


This is the first time I have used stampbord, so wasn't to sure how it would turn out.
I firstly used distress inks, trying to blend them in, then didn't like that, so used a fine grade sandpaper & sanded down. Then I just tapped various distress inks on top, spritzed with water, dabbed dry which I then liked!
Then I used black stazon ink with a stamped image & finally used my cropadile to punch a hole in the top.
I will send this off for the charity auction on Lots To Do forum.

Altered Clip Board.


I loved doing this tonight!
I used alcohol inks on the metal clip, then distress inks on the board. But I had a "happy" mistake while inking up, I spilt a drop of alcohol ink onto the board, then thought to myself, "Urm, I like that mistake, what will it look like with lots of drops on?" and there you go!
I used distress ink on a stamp, & chipboard letters for "notes" with holographic embossing powder.
I hope to send this off for the charity auction on Lots To Do forum.

This tag was inspired by a wonderfull sunset the other night. I used 3 distress inks, then stamped image with black staz on.

Distressed Tags

These are my tags for a swap hosted on Lots To Do forum.

The one on the left I used distress inks with a stamped image, Laugh a lot, & another image, both stamped with black staz on, then heat embossed with holographic powder.

The middle one, again using distress inks with a stamped image, this time with versamark ink pad, then used distress powder in aged mahogany.

The one on the right, distress inks with black staz on, then versamark ink pad, with clear embossing powder.

Hope they will be ok!

This is the first one done!





With this box, I painted with ivory acrylic paint, then used distress inks on top. Then I stamped
an image on the lid, then stamped up the other images onto card, mat & layered them all, then attached with 3D foam, then covered with walnut gold glimmer mist.
It looks much better in the flesh trust me!
Might be an item for the charity acution on lots to do?
