A new quilted handbag and testing promarkers on fabric

I have made another quilted handbag. This is for myself this time, so I decided to go for an Aussie theme. A lot of the fabrics are from Stoff og Stil. The fabric with aboriginal pattern was bought in Sydney.

I have tested stamping and colouring with promarkers on fabric. The stamp is Koala Hug Tilda, and a butterfly stamp. I have drawn the grass and flowers. The flowers are kangaroo paw, desert pea and kattamarant.

The other side of the bag is similar, but a different motive.

Since I do play didg - I could not resist having Didgeridoo Tilda on one of the sides. This is also stamped with fabric ink and coloured with promarkers. 

A tips when you colour fabric with promarkers, is to iron the fabric often while you colour. The colour in the markers will often bleed on fabrics, and the heat from the iron prevents the bleeding. 

I am entering these challenges:

• 7 kids - Challenge 61 - Anything goes
• I love promarkers - Callenge 145 - Anything goes
• Joanna sheen challenge - Anything goes excluding Christmas

A decorated paper bag

There is a new challenge at Kort o Mania.

As a part of the DT, I have decorated a paper bag. The motive is from The Paper Shelter, and it is coloured with promarkers. I have also used Snow Paint from Panduro, and added glitter, to paint the snow. Some of the charms are from korthobby.no, while others have been bought at in the UK.

I have also used old lace and edge punch from Martha Stewart. The papers were bought in the UK, a few years ago - and this was some left over paper.

A Christmas tree challenge....

This time, I got a challenge from Hobbykunst in Vestby.

I was given this large Styrofoam Cone - and the task was to make a Christmas tree. I decided to make a tree with some volume. After taking Sherry Mendozas class and using Dylusions sprays - I decided to have a go on this project.

I covered the cone with smaler cones made of the pages from two, old "Wind in the willows" books. The book pages was glued onto the Styrofoam Cone using a hot glue gun.

When the cone was covered with old book pages, the tree was sprayed with Dylusions sprays (Fresh, Cut Grass, Melted and London). I also carfully sprayed the tree with Heidi Swapp: Chartreuse - Color . The star was made in gold paper using a free star template from Crafting creatures. The pattern inside the star is a free svg file. The star has been cut, using Silhouette studio.

 This sweet little snowman is a free digi stamp from Birdie Brown. The Poinsettia has been cut with Silhouette, after a free template from Birds cards. 

 This is a digital stamp from Emerald Faeries Digi Stamps

The digi stamp of the Santa shark is a free digistamp from Dustin Pike

This digis tamp of a penguin melting frozen fish is also a free digistamp from Dustin Pike. 

I also made small Conifer cones from Styrofoam eggs. The eggs were covered with smal paper triangles. At the edges, I have used snowpaint from Panduro.

I also decorated some acrylic ornament balls (4 cm).

These acrylic ornament balls are also 4 cm. On the back, I have used the stamps "Christmas Words" from Dylusions. I have stamped on a single sheet of white tissue paper and glued the tissues to the inside of the all with Mod Podge. I have sprinkled gold glitter over the glue - and painted the all white inside when the glue/seal had dried. The balls are left blank at the front - so the decoration inside can be seen clearly.

This Christmas tree is made for Hobbykunst in Vestby - and can be seen there.
