Altered canvas for my sewing room

I made this for my sewing/craft room.

I have featured my blog name

EllenaElizabeth Makes

as if it is written on a blackboard.

I started off with a 12" x 18"canvas

that I collaged with torn off pieces of very old sheet music.

I then proceeded to layer with elements that looked and felt right(to me).

Things that mean something to me, it's a very personal work.

It's just about me.

Hubby and the kids didn't get a look in this time.

Christian references, music, sewing,

my blog name, my nick names,

year of birth, colours etc, all in a vintage theme.

I don't work quickly anymore.

It took me about 2 weeks on and off.

I used so many processes and products it is astounding to me!

Kaisercraft, Webster's Pages, Bobunny, & Studio 112 stickers and papers.

Marianne, Spellbinders, Nelli's Multi frames, Sizzlits

&

Our Daily Bread die cuts.

Tim Holtz, Our Daily Bread & JustRite stamps.

Bling & Kiddy Glitz.

Tim Holtz, Versa Color & StazOn Inks

The alphabet used for my name on the blackboard is

Sizzlits, Funky Brush.

It's my latest purchase from a facebook selling site.

I LOVE it!!!

And it's the first time I have used Sizzlits.

There's probably a lot more I can't think of now

not to mention the things I had on hand in my stash

&

can't remember where they came from

but usually Cheapie Shops.

The Our Daily Bread sentiment here was stamped over a

Stampin' Up Pattern Pieces stamp

and

cut out with Spellbinders labels 4

and distressed with the inks mentioned above.

I love the little dress stickers from Kaisecraft

I love the butterfly diecut I used here.

The coloured butterfly stickers were aged with 

Memories Mists Pale Ale

and

edged with

Versacolor Bark

I gave each butterfly a little bling centre.

I never get tired of looking at this Our Daily Bread spool and tape diecut.

Thankyou

PicMonkey

I had such fun editing my photos

to give them an even more

distressed

and

aged look.

Thankyou for looking today.

I'd love you to leave a comment

and become my follower.

If you do I'll return the favour.

A Garden and a rocking chair.

I made this card for my Mum.

She loves gardening and it's a thankyou card for helping me with some housework last week.

Her and Dad drove one and a half hours to my place, so it was a big day.

I am still no good after falling nearly 3 months ago.

Pain.....I AM SICK OF IT!!!!

This is another card I just had to make.

It's my 1st attempt at using the rocking chair stamp from Our Daily Bread.

It's not the best I suppose but still it was fun.

I have read so much about stamping, Copic Markers, diecuts etc etc since I became housebound with my bad back.

After a lot of research about methods and prices I decided I really did not need copic markers.

I have seen courtesy of You Tube many tutorials on colouring stamped images and found to my delight that Aquarellas and even Distress Inks can be used instead of Copic Markers.

I would dearly love to try them out but the expense cannot be justified in my case.

I do not make any money from making cards.

 I am flat out making one a week because of my pain levels.

So when I do make a card with a stamped image I have been colouring with my Aquarellas

and then painting over them with my newly purchased

Water Brush, which once again I discovered thanks to You Tube.

So many wonderful techniques and tips are to be found on the tutorials they present.

Thanks to all the wonderful crafters out there in blogland who take the time to post video tutorials.

It is so great especially when one is housebound.

Bless you all.
