Polkadoodles Altered Lantern

 

Hi All,

I am back with another make from Polkadoodles Create and Craft Show .. you can catch up here: http://www.createandcraft.com/gb/shows/polkadoodles-new-cd-roms-and-dies--2657212?channel=CC

This is a little altered Lantern, I picked a few of them up in the Works last year for 80p .. it has a little battery tea light in there too ... so very cute. It was blue plastic ... I covered in Gesso .. then sanded back slightly and added some silver guilding wax. I used some coloured wire and beads and then wrapped it around the handle. I then printed and cut out loads of flowers from the foliage section of the Winnie in Winterland collection I then covered the whole thing in lots of chunky glitter for a little extra sparkle.

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Polkadoodles Royal Peacock stamp soup - Unicorn Card

Hi All,

Here to share another Stamp Soup make with you ... I think there are still a couple of these stamp sets available on create and Craft .. so worth grabbing them if you can. You can also still watch the show here

This is a simple card, but one of my fav's that I created for the show ... I used a sentiment from the Ula cd and created a stylised unicorn from the stamp set .... I created the drips using indigo blu luscious powders then I added a few splatters ( cant craft without splatters at the mo, lol ) ... I then stamped the swirl under the sentiment and traced round it with gold pen to give it a bit of a shadow effect.

I would like to enter this into the flowing challenges:

Polkadoodles Royal Peacock - Altered Shoe

Hello All,

Very exciting day for us at PD towers, Nikky had a fabulous show on Create and Craft .. You can still find the show available to watch here ... you have to check out Nikky's amazing peacock!!!

Stamp Soup is one of my favourite Polkadoodle products, and I can't quite believe that the very first samples I have ever made for a TV show were stamp soup ones!! eeeeeeeeeeek

So I started with an Altered shoe ... This was originally a bright pink shoe .... I used to bbe able to wear shoes like this all the time, now however I stick to flats!! I wore these not long after I had my daughter and fell while pushing the pram ... I have never worn them since ...

I covered the shoe in Black Gesso ... and with indigo blu slap it on I covered it with glitter, and then used it again to seal it .... I stamped with the soup down the side of the shoe with gold embossing powder. I then stamped on heat resistant acetate to create the scallops that go down the side of the shoe ... the butterfly on the back of the shoe & the dimensional flower on the front of the shoe, & finally I added gems round the edge of the shoe.
