...just couldn't stop

See Beauty ATC by Lynne Forsythe

Hello peeps.....hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!

I have another ATC for


Week 3 Challenge.....
Week 3: Use up old alpha or number stickers/die cuts

I began with an ATC made from my "handmade" paper.
 To see how I made my paper head over here!

I pulled out a bag of UmWowStudio Alpha One
and randomly adhered letters to my ATC.

Next, I created a White Gesso Wash to cover
the Alpha One Chippies.

I then layered on some Multi Medium ~ Matte
and sprinkled on a bit of Mini Pearls.

When everything was dry I pulled out 2 Pipettes
and Macadamia and Tide Pool Glimmer Glaze.
I pulled up a bit of each color and deposited it on my ATC.
To help the color move, I spritzed with water.

I pulled out a piece of Woven Mesh from my 'TOVER's pile
and painted on a bit of the Tide Pool to help hold it together.

I also grabbed a piece of Black Ticking
from my 'TOVER's pile
along with pieces of an UmWowStudio ~ Ivy
and a premade spiral flower that was kickin' around.

Playin' along...


She Made Room ATC by Lynne Forsythe

I was invited by a fellow crafter to the 
Mixed Up Mag Mixer....



Their latest prompt for the Pix N Mix prompts is
Week 3: Use up old alpha or number stickers/die cuts
so I decided to play along.

First, I wanted to make some "paper"
using some scraps that were laying around on my desk!
some vintage music paper a piece of 7gypsies Architexture paper
a bit of burlap
a couple pieces of lace
a strip of linen ~ cut up
all adhered to a piece of Canvas Corp Kraft paper
using Multi Medium Matte.

I then painted a layer of Multi Medium ~ Matte
all over EVERYTHING! as a glaze.
When dry, I applied a layer of
diluted Gesso.

When dry, I cut my new "paper" into a bunch of ATC's.
Then I went digging for some old Alpha's.
I affixed them to my ATC and white washed them.
