So's arts and crafts

Hello, Lately it seems I'm coming back to the first technique that brought me to the handmade world...decoupage. Here's a wall art piece finished yesterday: I used a paper napkin with an African theme, some coordinating acrylic paints, and to make it look really old, crackle lacquer and some stamps. To seal everything, I applied two coats of matt varnish. The wooden base is actually a shelf board.

Hello, Last week I finally got around to making my first experiments with decoupage on glass. I decorated a plate and a glass fitted with a copper frame. For the plate I used a paper napkin with lemons: For the framed glass I used a paper napkin with vintage roses.  The decoupage technique is done in revers when working on glass, because we work on the back of the glass. 

Hello, Some time ago I bought a die from Marianne Design, that cuts the word "baby" in a nice handwritten like font. This is the first card I made using it. I used Copic markers to color the word in that old burgundy color. The top and bottom borders are made with washi tape (let me tell you it isn't easy to align the strips of washi tape...:D). The small flowers come from a paper napkin. Card size: 10x15 cm

Hello, here's a new vintage baby girl card I made using one of my newest die cuts: a baby carriage: Who's to say that only storks bring babies...:)) I think butterflies can too...wouldn't you say? Card size 10x15 cm

Tea anyone? Maybe ice tea...after all it's Summer! Card size: 15x15 cm

Panselutele au fost initial un servetel...pe care l-am transferat pe carton folosind folie de polietilena si calcatorul (atentie! opriti aburii) pe care era sa-l stric...:)) Daca alegeti tehnica asta... cel mai bine e sa folositi un calcator mai vechi, de care sa nu va para rau, in cazul in care se mai lipeste din folia pentru sandwitch...: )

La prima si la a treia felicitare din acest post am folosit o variatiune la tehnica servetelului...si anume am transferat servetelul pe carton folosind folie de polietilena si calcatorul...:)
