Altered: Wood block




I am still in the process of transferring my wood mounted stamps to the EZ Mount system so I have loads of blocks that I can re-purpose. I distressed it with Tim Holtz distress inks, added a few Stampin Up On Board ornaments & trinkets, and finished it off with Prima Say It in Crystals.

WW: Alcohol ink magic





All of the previous days' projects led me to this frame which I wanted to make colorful and vibrant with Tim Holtz Adirondack alcoohol inks, blending solution and stickles.

WW: Altered recipe box











I was entrusted in creating a recipe box for one of my customers. Immediately I thought of the BE recipe box but noticed it might not be able to hold up to shipping, so instead I decided to use an unfinished wood box.

Sneak Peek: Altered box


The saying above was my starting point in creating a brand new altered box project. I wanted the colors to be vibrant and whimsical at the same time.

Altered project: Distressed tea canister

My favorite drink is 4C Green Tea and recently I began buying these tall canisters instead of the single packets. I liked the plastic canister so much I decided to take the labels off and try to customize it with alcohol inks and paper.

I added alcohol inks with the Tim Holtz distressing tool (red pepper, eggplant, moss) and once dry i streaked it with the felt pad itself. It felt a little like finger painting and it went on perfectly smooth.



A few scraps of patterned paper and sticker letters...

I added an epoxy sticker to the lid and VOILA!
Patterned Paper: Stampin Up DS Berry Bliss
Letters: American Crafts thickers, American Crafts LAX
Sticker: Marah Johnson epoxy
