SCD challenge - The letter 'D'

I often see something I am inspired by and decide I will have a go.... but then put off doing it and forget about what I intended to create.  I saw a video on you tube ages ago... on how to make a Squash book and although I put the pages together I put the incomplete booklet  aside and did nothing with it.  Until today that is...when I came across it quite by accident and decided it should be finished :D

So this is the front page of my Squash book which is about 4inches square and like the rest of the pages was covered in Fired Brick Distress ink...yummy....

topped with a handmade rose smothered in glossy accents (cos I hadn't any stickles left) and some freebie vintage paper from The Vintage Moth and one of my favourite quotes.

The inside of my book was covered with more of the vintage paper and this is where my part in the SCD challenge ... The letter 'D' comes into play with one of my favourite words... DREAM cos where would we be without one :D

The letters are distressed chipboard on inked background.

Thanks for looking...have a great day

ATC club April swap (Vintage)

This month's ATC club challenge which is Vintage was set by the very talented Patty
Now for a change I have done 5 different ones this month... though the main image ...this pretty girl from Lisa's altered art is the feature on each one.

The background on the first one was a freebie from Altered bits.com and I used SeeD's stamps and Anna Griffin letter stamps for the word.  I've also used Tim Holtz brushed corduroy ink on all of my atc's cos it is just my favourite and suits this theme so beautifully.

The background for the atc above is a freebie from The Vintage Moth...I love this... all those stamps layered together...brilliant.  The Butterfly is from Crafty Individuals.

This delightful background featuring a bird on a branch which I watercoloured is part of a generous freebie from Patty.  I just had to use it on one of my Vintage atc's.

I have been waiting to use this fabby pen background which is a paper from Tim Holtz for ages and it went so well with the book and specs stamp from SeeD's.

Finally my 5th atc which is the one I will keep for my own collection was put together using another free background from The Vintage Moth.... the edges are part stamps from SeeD's vintage collection and I also used sepia accents on the hat.
Thanks for looking
