Distressed and Old- Vintage TAG mad

Yup- fairy is still on a vintage roll.
I have actually worn out my versacolour "pinecone" ink pad distressing the sides if tags, pages and photo matts.
Usually I just tend to use the ink up but this one is actually worn off the base and there's no foam left!!!
These are just 2 of the culprits

"MoMENTS"
Vintage TAG paper bag journal
6x6 inch paper bag TAG album

Then there's a giant 8x8 inch

GRATITUDE journal. 

I have had the most fun creating some really unique embellishments on  these.

I used various chipboard shaped pieces to match my theme.

then inked the base colour- 

added a second little touch of a highlight colour, 

then wiped a layer of pearl paint over or used a spray of glimmer mist. 

Next stamping over a pattern in black. 

Placed some rhinestones/pearls and used a really thick layer of glossy accent over the top.

The key in particular is one of my fav's.

I love how the pearl and glimmer mist trapped under the glossy shell look like "cats eye's" very 3d and spooky!!

Well once my camera batteries are charged i also have some new boxes to show you- along with some new altered wooden boxes with circle albums in!!!!!!!!

Until then stay warm and have a fairy happy day

Feeling pink! Shabby chic vintage gratitude box and gratitude album

It's been a girly pink week!
Which in contrast with this weeks farm work is kinda weird.
Lots of assisted births, 2 dead calves and a prolapsed cow, a  couple of snakes....  
hmm maybe a little touch of pink and lace is good therapy for the fairy lady?LOL!
This is the first of 2 boxes and the gratitude paper bag album along this theme.

Gratitude box- handmade box full of affirmation and gratitude tags.

Gratitude journal- Positive book of affirmations, thankfulness and gratitude.

The realm of magic- dragonfly symbology

 Dragonflies are inhabitants of two realms – water and air, and are seen as the transition between dream and reality. They are associated with color magic, illusion in causing others only to see what you wish, and other mysticism. Dragonflies are often represented in Japanese paintings, representing new light and joy! 

I wonder whether this is the attraction to putting them and butterflies in all my recent work?

 Hmmm? well all I know is that i really love using them and they seem a perfect foil to those beautiful mariposa papers.

As always I am on the gratitude journey- the more I am  grateful for,  I recognize more positivity and hopefully it will attract more good things.

So all this gratitude and dragonfly talk neatly leads me to show you my latest e bay listing-
