Altered Coasters

 This week on the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge we are to create a Wendy Vecchi look alike... Oh what fun I have had...

When you look at the Design Teams examples you will see a creation by Linda Couglin.... I tried to leave a message Linda, but was unable... I LOVE your panels... they are GREAT fun... so I had to replicate them.... I really got involved with these... and had a blast... hardly got dinner done last night... LOL.. 

I covered the coaster with white cardstock... and for 

what reason I will never know... except I wanted a clean slate to work on... LOL...  then I inked them with distress inks... I think I used Pumice stone on all of these... 

I then went to work on each one... and used the theme of BIRDS ... and went wild plus... having fun with each section of each one... 
I used an embossing folder on this one... and then added a mini bird cage...(Distress embossing powdered... with a couple of colors...)    and a tissue flower that I made...  

 On this section I used a Tim stamp for the background...  and then a few words ... actually a Wendy Stamp is in the upper right and lower left corners... and added a charm which I used alcohol ink to color... and then a tea bad medallion... which I created the tile and also made the medallion... 

Then last but not least... I used an embossing folder and put a Just Rite bird cage stamped in the center... and then used Utee ultra thick embossing powder to make the whole panel glossy... 
The Little bird is from the Mini bird cage die..(Tim's) and I colored it and also used Glossy Accent on it... The flowers are Lavish Frills (ideology)  and I used Victorian Velvet Distress stains on them... 
 Then the bird cage in metal... how about that ... with a little bird in there too... 

Love this panel... thanks Linda for the idea...  I had so much fun.. that i had to create another one...  I hung this on a special door in the kitchen... (actually to a small powder room... for women only LOL...)  I love it... 

So here is the other one that will get hung up there soon... 

I had to get some Christmas mojo going... so I started with this panel... what fun I had... yikes.. .I love having FUN... 
I used all kinds of things to create this as you can see... 
I did make all my background papers with Distress inks on my worksheet technique... and also some resist ones... 
I even used one of the NEW Christmas Charms that my neighbor bought me on the TIM CRUISE!!!  She had a blast by the way... and came home with all kinds of new fun things to make..with a suitcase filled with all kinds of goodies... paper, flowers, bling etc... wow.. is she going to have fun with that...    

 On this first panel, I did a resist with clear embossing powder... using a Christmas stamp by Tim... and then colored the Reindeer with alcohol inks... a brown first and then had to use the white... just to tone it down a bit... love that white anyway... just an excuse to use it, is all I need... the ticket another Tim stamp.. .and a little gold... 

 I had bought this Martha Punch with the bell.. and punched it out using a metal paper... and then embossing it with Black Soot Distress Embossing Powder... love it... The trees are also done with Distress embossing powder... love the texture that this gives to the hand and the eye...  

  The poinsettia is a Spellbinder die... and the bird a heartfelt creation... the bird cage a Tim Die cut...  and the background... crackle of course... Antique Brass... 

The little bells... are a must... love it... 

What do you think.... how many do you think you can hang in one house... I think that each bedroom door can have a different one... and then one on each bathroom door... and then... and then... and then... you get the idea... tons of these GREAT Panels... I think you have started something Linda.... and I love it...  thanks a million for sharing this idea...  just great.... okay.. .I used Seam binding tape to tie these all together... and also to hang it up... what fun I had making this... 

Hope you will try your hand at this too... 
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and hope you will come back tomorrow... Dressmaker tag is up...  

Thanks... and have fun... love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
