Heritage

I liked the challenge theme over at tag tuesday.
It is Heritage . 
I treat the subject very wide- made the tag showing a polish engineer  Tadeusz Wenda.
Thanks to him my hometown Gdynia transformed from a village and seaside resort to a lively town with most modern harbour in 1920s. 
As a background I used a reprint the original engineer's permit.

Set me free

I have been playing with Ecolines recently and can not stop. 

Another piece I used for my background was die cut. 

I made a tag to play along with More than words mini challenge.

I am also linking my tag to:

a inky mess: challenge 10

the sisterhood of crafters: the letter b- butterfly

   

The Face

Today I want to share with you my piece called the Face.
I have recently played with Ecolines - liquid water colours, while creating the background. What a fun it was!
I also added some stenciling and stamping along with gluing some pieces of rice paper. To finish off I added some wooden stars, hot embossed earlier. 
They symbolize tears: so shiny and precious.
You can see few of my steps below:

This is a tag I made for a new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday.
This time our theme is Transport. We would like to see your projects with  anything you can take a ride on or in.
                 
                                           


The rest of the DT have used some fabulous pieces, so why not pop over to the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details.

for Maya

My granddaughter Maya loves little ponies. It's a pity because in the contrary I think they are very ugly. I wanted to make a gift for her showing another kind of pony.

And you know what? She loved it!

In my shadow box I used the metal shape of a horsie my older son cut for me.

It was covered with texture paste through the stencil. 

I started with a piece of paper , various sprays and a brayer. 

Then I added some stamping to the background  and framed the picture.

To finish off I added a horsie and some metal elements

A Quote

I'm on time today☺! And it's high time to start our new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday

This time our theme is Add a Quote. I hope you will join us with your beautiful pieces.

                                            

I have altered one of my favourite things to make awesome- a crafty gift bag. 

I started with stamping some text stamp to make a frame. 

Then I added some die cuts- I made them from an old box so it is another thing recycled.

I finished my project with stenciling some embossing paste, hot embossed later.

I love the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson and hope you will like it too.
