It's Thursday..Lindsay's stamp stuff day



This week I went back to my prim roots! Nothing like the application to my fave craft fair to send me running to my wood room. I had this old beat up frame that was an ugly mahogony color, I painted on a coat of crackle finish then painted it an olive color and sponged on a darker green while it was still wet...frame done. Then I used this swirly crow from lindsays stamp stuff, it from the creepy crow set. I colored the crow with copics, the highlighted the swirls with pearlessence paint (totally cased that idea from Tracey) thanks Tracey. the branch is cut with mu cricut using teh winter woodlands cart. I did the berries with distress stickles. the leaves are prima and I gave them a light coat with the pearlessence paints too. after all was dry I gave it a mist with walnut ink. teh tattered flower on teh frame is made with bazzill cardstock..that's a whole new post to make that, I added a gray prima flower to it & a brad. don't forget to check out Lindsays blog to see what the other fab dt members have been up to and to score a freebie. happy crafting all

It's Thursday..Lindsay's stamp stuff day


Lindsay of Lindsay's stamp stuff has issued a challenge to use a recycled item on a project this week. She is having a contest, and today is the last day. All you have to do is leave a link to your project on her blog. She will enter you into a drawing for a prize..easy peasy. For my project this week I chose to start my valentines cards with an adorable new Lindsay set called Love grows here, it's so cute! I used 2 images from the set, some basic grey paper, and my new ek success heart border punch. For my recycled item I used a tab from a soda , well ok ok, from a beer can, I went on this whole thing with my friends last year and had them save all their beer cab tabs for me..I don't drink beer,can't stand the stuff, but oh boy, I wanted those tabs, lol. So i tied some ribbon on one , used it on my card, and feel pretty good about keeping something out of the landfill.
