Some things I made for a group challenge




I am in a 31 day challenge for a group I am in. These are some things I have made. One was a tag sketch. I used Tim stuff. I even used the paper that comes in his packaging to write my "things I adore" words strips on. The other was a bookmark sketch. I had to make a Twilight one, as my favorite books to read are the Twilight series. The paper is from DCWV... and Edward is playing the piano in the photo.


Thanks for stopping by.

Look what I did !!! Funky Women !!!




Well, now its official! I have used every part of the configuration boxes that I used for making my Disney clock. These were the last two boxes I had left, but the first idea I had when I saw those little boxes. I just new I had to make them! They are really little, they just look big in the picture. The gold box is about 3" high and the silver one is about 2". I cant get a good shot, the metal reflects too much, so I hope you can get the idea.



First I painted the boxes, one gold- one silver. (above)


Then I sprayed some Lindys Stamp Gang moon shadow spray onto a piece of paper and dabbed it on the boxes to create a marbled look. (below)


I picked the stamps I wanted... I think they might be from I Brake For Stamps, but I am not 100% on that. I stamped one on silver paper with distress ink. The other one I wound up stamping and embossing with silver embossing powder and cutting it out. That one was on gold paper.


I knew that I wanted one of them to have a corset. I dont sew... but I did okay with this one. I used a piece of flour sack, copper eyelets, and silver metallic embrod. thread to lace it up.


I used some double sided thin metal sheets and put them on adhesive back paper for support. I used 2 different stampin up punches to punch out the arms and legs. I attached them with jump rings and foam dots.


I wanted the legs from one of the boxes to dangle so I took 2 T-bar pins, cut them down (thank you hubby for doing that for me!) and wired it up to the bottom of the box. The legs slipped right over it. I also put the corset around a foam block and pinned it on the back.



Here is the silver box. I cut out the head, and put a piece of copper metal behind it. I cut wings out from a Nestie die and added 2 metalic flower stickers to the hands. I love the Medusa style hair! That looks like me in the morning!!! (no, really, it does...) She is silver and copper.



I think I am in love with her! Look at that face!!! Silver and Gold... dragon fly wings... cigar label belt.. wrapped in wire.... what more could I ask for???




Well, I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!


Thanks for stopping by!!!
