Pick a Shape - A Place to Start Challenge

This is my card this month for  challenge over at A Place to Start.  The challenge is  to make a card using one of the shapes in the board below. 

As you can see for this challenge I used the circle in the design of my card along with  an easel card pattern.

I used Lavinia Rubber Stamps in my design and made a paper bead to keep in place the front of the card which I added white flowers and a butterfly.

Altered Bottle - 613 Avenue Create

 I am so excited that I have been invited to participate at 613 Avenue Create. 

The challenge for February is Anything Goes W/Optional Twist: "Heart and Soles" - use hearts or shoes in your design.

This is my project I made for my first challenge, an altered bottle.

This is the bottle I used for my project but part way through altering the bottle I decided not to use the original top I had for the bottle.

After adding gesso to  the bottle I stenciled an image using stencil paste on. The stencil was one from my stash by Seth Apter.  I painted the bottle with copper penny metallic acrylic paint. 

I added gears, a metal flower and other findings which I painted with an  assortment of metal paints from Pentart and highlighted with gold Pentart Glamour paint. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week Remember to pop by our challenge board to be inspired by our talented design team the head to you craft room and start creating and join us this month.
