Not all those who wander are lost..... and a freebie

 Kort o Mania has a new challenge this fortnight. This time, I have decorated a notebook from Hobbykunst. The background is made by using different blue left over papers. The papers are torn into small pieces and glued directly onto the book with Mod Podge.  After this, a thin coat of Gesso were added. This is the first time I have really tried Mod Podge and Gesso together to make a background. The girl is a digital stamp from Saturated canary -  "Packlight". The girl has been coloured with promarkers. The book cover has had a final layer of Mod Podge to seal the pieces. I have also added a ribbon as a bookmark.

"Not all those who wander are lost" is written by J.R.R Tolkien  - and I could not find a stamp with these words on - so I made my own digital stamp. Please feel free to use it in your own projects. You may store it on your own Pc, but please don't sell them or post them on your own homepage or blog - link back to this blog instead. 

I am entering these challenges:

  

• Incy wincy designs - Something new (New background technique)
• Simonsays stamp and show - Challenge embrace old (Use of old favourite left over paper)
• Crafty sentiments - Sparkle and shine
• Crafty catz weekly challenge - Anything goes

Treat bags

Made some sweetbags. I got the text stamps from North Star Stamps - and had to make something with them.

The background paper for the topper is made from using Dylutions spray and Color shine from Heidi Swap. The wheel tracks are made from an old toy car with inked tires. The tractor motive is from Dulemba and coloured with promarkers. The stamp "traktoregg - tractor eggs" is from North Star Stamps. 

The background paper for this topper is from Panduro. The stamp is"Tilda with hawaiian flower" - coloured with promarkers. The text "englesnop - angel candy" is from  North Star Stamps. 

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

Magnolia Christmas ornament

The wings are made from Vellum - punching two large Martha Stewart butterflies. The bench is made in 3D from paper.
