Picture magnet

All Mum's deserve gifts at any time of year and after mine was poorly recently I made her this large picture magnet to cheer her up.  I used a chipboard sheet and chipboard pieces from Tando Creative and a beautiful vintage image that was supplied for a challenge on Hands and Heart ning.

 I covered the chippie sheet in acrylic paint and glitter (although my photography doesn't show this up too well I'm afraid) before decoupaging the image and  I adhered a piece of magnetic sheet to the reverse so that it can be displayed on the fridge.

I painted the smaller chipboard pieces and added glitter before covering with Diamond glaze and added a teardrop gem to the top piece.

It took a while but I think it was worth it in the end.
Thanks for looking.

Sparkling ATC's

Not creating much yet but forgot to share these atc's with you that I made while taking part in a free workshop over at Hands and Heart.  I really enjoyed making them and they are really magical when the light catches them although they were a little difficult to photograph.

Lots of layers including acrylic paint, stamping, glitter and watercolour.

Pretty faces from Lisa's Altered art images which were collaged and overpainted.

 little additions such as gems and words on some to add to the fun....

Hope you like them.
