Beer Mats

These are my beer mats, decorated in the Tim Holtz style for a Lots To Do swap.

The first is distressed with Tim's inks, then stamped with one of his images and the tower was spot embossed with his distressed powder.

The second is distressed with inks and stamped a bit as above, then two grunge board hinges were again distressed as above and then added to the mat with a couple of other bits.

The third was again distressed and stamped with Tim's inks and stamp, then 3 small squares were stamped using a different stamp, coloured in and then added using foam pads.

Inspirational Words

A set of ATC's made using images with inspirational words.

I've also added brads for some dimension.

Altered Frames

These are a couple of cheap pine frames that I have altered, scan's haven't come out too well though.

The first one was inked using one of Tim's ink pads 'distressed wood' then sponged on some copper ink. I then stamped with a paisley stamp and coloured in some of the flowers using metalic & stardust pens and added then jewels as flower centres.

The second was covered with a piece of beautiful distressed paper and then a couple of glitter corners were added to cover a bit of a blooper and a few jewels added for some bling.

Paris Set

I decided to do a set of 3 different items, there's an ATC, a Skinny & a Fat Page. They all have the theme of Paris.
