Three More Mice


Before I went on holiday I was asked if I could make three more mice with specific colours of clothing and accessories.


The brief for this one was grey clothing and pink accessories.


And for this one, green clothing and turquoise accessories.


And for this one, purple clothing and teal accessories.


They all have the same style of clothing, ie the decoration of the toggles and piece on the top of the hat are all the same as per the request.

Pleased to say that the person who requested them is happy with the photos of them.

Rusty Elements


After the launch of the new Andy Skinner and Tando greyboard kits, they inspired me to make a couple of tags. I already have the industrial set and some mdf hearts and tags and this is what I came up with.


All products used were from the DecoArt range, including textured sand paste, media paints in paynes grey, dairylide yellow, cobalt teal and quinacridone gold.


I also used some metallic lustre in orange flicker over some of the sand paste to bring out the detail.


Love how the quin gold changes the colour of the colours underneath.


And for the second one I used white modelling paste with the fossil stencil.


I painted the whole tag with white tinting base, added a layer of patina antiquing cream and wiped back. Then added metallic lustre in orange flicker and copper kettle.


The heart was made in the same way as the tag above and I've added some rusty wire.


Close up of the sand paste with orange flicker metallic lustre.


Both tags, side by side.

Easel Cards


I was asked to make a couple of cards so I chose the easel style as they both required quite a few different pictures on them.


They were both for 50th birthdays.
