Craft Consortium, Grunge Papers - Light And Dark Tones, Decorative Hanging Mobile

I wanted to make something a little bit different to showcase at least some of the gorgeous new Grunge Papers that are now being sold by Craft Consortium.

I also had an old indoor hanging mobile that used to belong to my mum that was in need of a massive overhaul of some kind.

This is what I ended up making...

Exceptionally difficult to get any decent photos of this that do it justice, but here goes..!

Would you believe that this started off as a heap of cereal box offcuts?

I'ver simply used Tim Holtz Collage Medium to glue these gorgeous papers on and have four glued and die cut layers per shape.

Finish with some Varnish spray and these become both durable and protected.

Poppystamps, Sending You Love

I have a 'higgledy-piggledy' garden shed inspired project to share with you today...

Full details of how this was made can be found over on the Poppystamps website.

Click 'here'.

This was a lot of fun to make as I got to use several different mediums - Brusho Colours, Graphite Blocks, Distress Crayons, Distress Ink, Gilding Wax, etc.

Have a good weekend!

Craft Consortium, The Herbarium, Repurposed Tea Tins

Another very quick post from me today!

If you saw my repurposed Cacao Container last week (see here) it may have got you wondering just what you might have lying around that you can also repurpose.

If that's the case, let me tell you that as long as you use a glue such as the Tim Holtz Collage Medium you can even redecorate empty food or drink tins!

These were containers for Chinese Tea originally...
