Altered Clock


Hi everyone not posted in a while as I took the kiddies on a mini break to Hastings. 
Well needed and well worth it absolutely loved it beautiful part of England.

So before I left I primed the clock and got it ready then while I was away all I could think about was this clock lol.

We got back Monday and today is the first chance I've had to get in my craft room and with our glorious British weather it's been raining all day which is perfect for me as I'll not be cooking whilst working haha.


 This is my altered clock it's large and I was a big worried I'd aimed to high and wouldn't do it justice.
But oh my how pleased I am with the finished result, I used the Prima Lyric line such beautiful papers :)
I also used some dusty attic chipboard pieces and Tim Holt ideology numbers and wild orchid craft and I am roses flowers, trims and lace and so much shimmer.

Take a peek, I also have a video uploaded on my YouTube channel

Mixed media memories layout

Happy Sunday :) I've completed my 12x12 memories layout of my son at 2 weeks old, it seemed to of taken ages waiting for bits to come I'm post and then my vagabond broke and was waiting for sizzix to send out another one lol oh the joys.

I'm so pleased with how it turned out it has lots of texture and I even made my own glimmer mist as I needed a certain colour and didn't have it in my collection.

I also used one of my favourite techniques stamping into texture paste and I'm loving how it turned .

There's is a more detailed video on YouTube my channel is Toni Tickner plz pop over and check it out
Take care everyone and happy crafting

There's so much texture and so much shimmer.

I brought the canvas's in a pack of four and got stuck in firstly using some modelling paste and tissue paper then gesso'd over the top.
Grabbed lots of embellishments like iamroses flowers, wild orchid craft flowers metal embellishments and other items out my stash.

Altered PaperBag With Songbird By Prima

Hi everyone, I've joined a challenge on you tube called altered PaperBag challenge. The hostess Lydia has a channel called ItripledogdareU, you have to check out her channel :)

It had to have a pocket and a note card made or shop brought but everything else was up to our imagination.

I used the song bird collection by Prima and made a note card and i also wanted to add something else so I made a matching tag.
I used some trim out my stash and added Venise lace over the top, of course I had to add flowers lol and a Tim Holtz ticket lol ....
