Some of my crafty project

Here are just a few images of my former crafty projects to get the ball rolling!!

This was done using an elusive images rubber stamp and inktense pencils to colour in. I think they are one of my favorite colouring mediums as you can do so much with them.


A few more elusive image rubber stamps which have been watercoloured with pencils



This project is more recent. I decided it was time for a new jewellery box and  I saw these lovely MDF drawers when I went to the Make It craft show in February and decided they were it!
First step was to seal the wood with a quick wash of watered down acrylic glue then painted all over with bog issue matt emulsion  ~ the same as the hallway lol . Then I used weathered wood crackle medium by Americana which I let dry over night and over painted with acrylic paint in ummm..... cloudy blue I think,  it was a while ago.


A side view of the chest. The flourish was stamped using stayzon and the small wildlife were from the Jane Netley Meyhew Cd which I just printed off, cut out and stuck.


The back of the chest with a lovely owl again from JNM cd.

I painted some of the flowers in the flourishes to bring the design together.
I think you can just about see the woodgrain effect.  The butterflies were randomly stamped on the front and painted.


Another elusive image stamped birthday card for a male relative 
(spot the theme? ) Yes I have a shed loads of them elusive image stamps or should I say Chocolate baroque now?
I have always found them to be good quality rubber and they give a lovely clear impression.
