Hi....today it's Dare U 2 Digi Stamp challenge day,and the dare this week is "ANYTHING BUT A CARD",that could be a box,bag,ATC,bookmark,etc...the list's endless,just let your imagination run away with you...lol.The only thing we ask is you us a digital image on your project.For mine i decided to alter a really cheap address/phone book i picked up for the grand sum of 49p from Home Bargains...I used Chris's (Sketching Stamper)image "On The Phone" which i thought was just perfect for this project....you can purchase this along with so many other gorgeous images from HERE.....and i'll warn you when you see her new Butterfly Fairy's you'll want them all...lol.I've used Copic markers and Prisma's as my colouring medium and then used glamour dust over her top.The leather look paper/card really looks and feels like the real thing,i'm not too sure where i got this from,i think i had it from the NEC and it maybe MIC.I've threaded a ribbon througth the spine of the book and added some black faceted beads.Ribbon,ribbon slider and large flat backed pearls from stash.
The above photo shows how the book looked before i started altering the cover,the back of the book as also been altered but i haven't taken a photo,it's just been matted and layered like the front and ends on a leather look layer.I stuck with the same colours as the book started with due to the fact the pages inside are patterned like you see on the front with pink and black.
This just show's a close up of the image...love her!
And lastly i've been given an award by the lovely Sue (Scoopysstuff)....thank you Sue it's so kind of you to think of me :0),i so appreciate this and honoured to recieve it, but at the minute not really worthy of it,i've been a bad and lazy blogger of late,sorry everyone,i don't want to get all heavy on you but i've been alittle down and have struggled to really do anything.I hope this all soon passes and i can get back to my usual self,perhaps midlife crisis...lol,whatever i wish it would go!I would like to pass this onto the following two people who have come to my blog on a regular basis and left me very kind and encouraging comments...VICKY and DONNA...thank you girls i so appreciate them more than you will ever know :0).
Well that's about it...sorry for the extra long post today,hope you will come and join us on the dare this week,and there's a prize up for grabs....take yourselfs over to the challenge blog and see whats on offer!,
Take care,have a lovely day and i hope a fantastic weekend!
