Go bravely!

Today I would like to show you my small (5x6 cm) altered metal case. 

I made it for my husband Andrzej, who is due to hospital  for a serious surgery next week. Something he could keep in a pocket to cheer him up.

He is a retired Navy officer that's why I used some naval accents. 

The inscription means ,, Go bravely".

I started with gluing some pieces of paper towel to the case. Then I gessoed all and added chipboars inside it. Then it was time for colouring all with inks, mists and gelatos. I also rubbed some Inka Gold cooper to the surface.

Next I added some stamped images, metal embellishments and stenciled some crackles. 

I would like to join the following challenges:

domestic angel

Inspired by the challenge over at  paperartsy, where the theme is hidden object I have altered pink Barbie wardrobe (found at second hand shop) and made 11 cm high niche for our domestic angel.

First I gave it a thick coat of gesso, glued some lace on the front panels and add some washi tape inside. Then I painted all with acrylic paints, misted with Glimmer mists and rubbed some Inka Gold on the top. 

I stamped the cup, attached a  fussy cut girl and gold wings brads.

The final touch is a little flower and some metal plaque.

Our domestic angel is watching us!

with a window

The June's theme over at lessology is ,,Lace up''. I made a card using pieces of my old dress

I glued them onto the corrugated cardboard and added more lace

Next it was time to add chipboards, a flower and pieces of gauze. It was all primed with heavy gesso and coloured with various inks and sprays. I have also stamped a bit on the left, but it's hard to see:).

The final touch- some colored brads.

smile

Today I am sharing a card for a very serious man and I would love to see a smile on his face!
For the background I cut 8 squares, glued them together and stenciled with embossing paste. It was hot embossed with Shimmerz enamel next.
The silhouette was fussy cut and I attached  various pieces of tissue paper on it.
It was stamped ane coloured with gelatos then. 
I also  added an embossed  chipboard with a lettering.
There is also a small, silver heart in the left corner, but it is hard to see (sorry).

Watches and Clocks,

is the  new challenge theme for the next two weeks at Try It On Tuesday

My inspirational piece is a tag with a real watch face.

The quote means: give the time back to me.

Since I can't draw at all, I made use of gesso- transfered image from a newspaper.

shadow box

It is time for another fantastic challenge over at The Mirror Cracked

The theme is Shadow Box  and this is my take on the theme. 

My latest craze is altering cans.

This is a fish can, but doesn't stink at all (I swear).

I started with priming it with black gesso. Then I glued some chipboards and resin pieces to give ,,the wall'' some texture. Next I painted all with acrylic paint, sprayed with Dylusions ink and rubbed some Inka Gold. I added hand made table, a stool, a portrait and an old bulb to ,,the room". Finished all with some metal embellishments, a glass bottle with flowers and the crafting girl. 

Hope you like my room!

summer dreamer

Summer is the theme of a new challenge over at Mixed Media Mojo.
The twist is Monochromatic.

                                                       

This is my take on the theme: an altered gift bag for my friend. 
Every year she gives a beach party opening the summer season, that's why I have created some kind of a beach scene for her.
I started with priming the bag with gesso, than added  some texture by using texture paste through the stencil.
I fussy cut the images of the shells from the tissue paper then glued them with gel medium.
I also attached three real shells and some twine to my project.
Then it was time for some inking, misting and stamping. I have used heat embossing too.

I would like to participate in the following challenges:
crazy4challenges: ideal vacation spot
4craftychicks: summer
