Little flower house

JUNE MAC Created this darling 'home'

I loved creating this little hanging wooden shape.

I used a couple of different techniques but it was very simple to do.

Firstly I did think of covering the house in paint but I quite liked the look of the wood itself.

I used some brown ink on a sponge around the edges of the house.

I had a scrap of lace for the bottom of this but decided to use it as a mask/stencil. I taped it to the wood and then sponged the brown ink over the lace for the effect you see on it. I think it turned out nice with a kind of distressed stenciled look.

I then wanted to finish off the tag with something eye-catching so I used a plain flower and inked it in light teal then covered it in holographic embossing powder for the sparkle although glitter would also work.

I also embossed the brad with the brown ink and clear embossing powder. The orange spots were finally added using orange stickles for a fun look. I tied some plain twine in a loop through the hole in the top of the house. Give this as a lovely gift tied to a package!

That was it, easy peasy.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
