PARIS CHIC ALTERED CHILDREN'S BOOK & CARDS

Hello one and all,

Well it is nearly the New Year and if you are anything like me, a little time on your hands to tackle some new projects.

ALTERED CHILDREN'S BOOK

For you today, I have altered a children's picture book that I picked up at my local 'Op' Shop.  I applied this beautiful Collection 'Paris Chic' mixed  with a few  small elements from other of Meg's Garden Collections,  such as , Watercolours Garden, French Chic, Spring Pastels and Parisian Gardens. 

 I also added book pages, along with music sheets to Meg's Collections.

 For the edges of the book itself I used Atlantic Versa ink, which I always find a perfect match for some of these papers.   To the cut and create items I applied a little Inca Gold to the edges, which gives them a vintage feel.

 Finally some well placed doilies and here is the front cover.

 Meg's Gardens beautiful ribbon lace with chiffon ribbon, all teamed with  Lock and keyhole.

 CARDS

As you would have noticed in my last month's post, this journal pack is jammed pack with lots of paper, so I set about making up some cards for my stash.

 Now for a close up of the special extra ribbons and metal embellishments from Meg's Garden.

 Well I hope you have been inspired to get creative over the holidays and remember to 'think outside the box' for altering simple items.

Thanks for taking the time to look and until next time.......Happy New Year  ......Love Liz

PRETTY IN LAVENDER

Hello It's Annette here
 welcoming you to Megs Garden Blog
 Today I wish to share with you my 'Mirror Image Frames'

.....well they're nearly mirror image .... 

'Pretty in Lavender'

using the very pretty range of papers from 

MEGS GARDEN

titled

'LAVANDE'

These papers are lovely in their delicate colours of violet, mauve & lavender

& I was happy to start playing as soon as my  DT goodie box arrived ..

Meg also added in some extra trimmings &

I hunted through my stash & gathered 'purple'  stuff ...

the silver frames were a Christmas present from 'secret santa'

which I rubbed them with inka gold to highlight the pattern

the Chipboard frames were silver embossed then also rubbed with inka gold on the edges

I added water to the inka gold to colour my skeleton leaves

 Using patterned paper as my background I adhered the chipboard & 

the silver matted image

the tassle is made from a bead fringe which would be quite a number of years old

as it was in my mum's sewing treasures ( it will come in handy one day)

then added a spray of flowers & a sprinkle of beads to complete

PRETTY in LAVENDER

I'm quite pleased with the finished result & it's only the images that are not mirrored.

Please take some time to stroll (scroll) through the garden

& be inspired by the Garden Ladies 

Happy Scrapping
