A Bit of Fun

Yesterday I made some more ATC's but I cannot put them on here as yet because they are both for swaps which are not until the end of the month.

I also made a couple of cards for swaps which are going out today so I will post them tomorrow.

This is a bit of fun. I started a background for the Lots to Do recycle challenge using a piece of cereal packet and some cardstock which I had used underneath my work (so it got colour on it - you know what I mean). Unfortunately with going away I did not get it completed in time and so yesterday I decided to do something with it.

I spritzed the cardstock with Adirondack Color Wash and Sticky Fingers Misters to make a background for the card. Previously I had covered the cereal packet with Gesso and then put some Distress Inks on so that went on top. Then I stamped some images (Non Sequitur) (pocket watch by Rubbadubbadoo - one of my favourite stamps) and made the Doll.

Now I love playing about with this Doll so I cut her arms and legs off and re-attached them with jump rings. I know, I know, I have put the legs on the wrong way round - intentional - honestly - I love her being "twine toed". I decided to colour her gloves and stockings with some Gel Markers and the card was complete, but if you look closely I got my "red, white and blue" a bit muddled on one leg. Now when you jangle the card she dances and sways her arms.

Quite fun I think. Hope you like it.
