DT Project for Forever Night Challenges 'Altered'

Welcome to another Team A challenge at Forevenight challenges, we have no official sponsor this week so I have chosen to showcase a fabulous designer called sureya. you can find her here!

I have altered a 99p cork notice board from the works

Here is the finished product!

I have covered the board in black poster paint, then splashed red acrylic paint and silver calligraphy ink on top
The finished article in use!!

This image is called 'Hollow' he has been flipped over to look across the board, He has been coloured with pro markers and cut out then attatched to the board using silicon glue.

This image is called 'Helios' and has been treated in the same way as Hollow!

The sentiment was created on my computer, cut out with a die and then coloured in red, distressed around the edges and heat embossed using 3 layers of ultra thick embossing powder.


The chain and charm are from my stash!!

I really enjoyed making this and hope you like it :o)

Commissioned cat birthday card.

Still haven't heard about schools for Theo officially, but have been told that a school has been instructed to take him although they are full and have the right to appeal!  Home school is not going too well as he is very uncooperative!!  as you can imagine he still thinks he is on holiday :o(   Hope things sort themselves out soon or my blood pressure will be through the roof!!

So here is today's card

This card has been commissioned for a daughter and cat lover :o)

Papers from dovecrafts lilacs pack, layered with blue as those were the colours given and I think they look great together although I wouldn't have picked them myself, will have to rethink in the future :o)  

Tri fold card, I have used Xcut heart border punch and a Nellie Snellen frame to cut out the first cat that has been inked and liquid pearled around the scallops

The cat images are from Barbara Jensen in the Stitchy bear store called 'two kitties' and come as a set.

I have highlighted them in pro markers to give them some shading.

The sentiment I created on my computer.

Make us laugh!

Well we are not having a good time at the moment!  Hubby is very poorly with flu and not man flu this time!!! :o)  And my son Theo, 7 years old, has no school to go to as the schools in the area that we have moved back to are full, and the council(if I may say this) have given us the worst advice from start to finish!  we now might have to appeal to get my son into a school, which will take up to another 6 weeks!!!  I am not a happy mummy at the moment and am very unimpressed with the goings on at the council who have left us in the dark through this whole process and could not even be bothered to phone us to tell us of the problems they were having until we contacted them AGAIN on the friday before they were supposed to start school, which is of course today!!  :o( So he has now missed his first official day of school.  I made him work anyway, but I am no teacher :o(  so a very stressful day has been had by all  :o( 


Well that is my vent for today over, so here is my card

They are asking for us to make them laugh over at Doodle dragons this fortnight, so here is my entry, I thought this image was such fun :o)  I have used Some freebie papers, that came with a Quick cards papercraft magazine, called Summer goodness by Raspberry road designs.
