Today is Sunday over HERE!!!

On SUNDAY STAMPERS....   (it is still Sunday here... what day is it across the pond... Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday???  LOL))))) 


Anyway... it is really Tuesday here... we just had a holiday... Memorial Day... and so I took the time to get a little caught up on things around the studio and the house... yikes it all really needed it...  and then off to go up the mountain to go shopping... what fun today is going to be... it is afternoon 12 noon now... but hey... we are free as two little birds... or maybe I should say butterflies... 

The challenge this week is to ALTER something...  gee whiz... I alter everything I  touch Hels...  paper, rooms, birdcages, tags, bottles, candles... you name it.. .I can alter it...  LOL... so I decided to clean yesterday like I told you... and came across a couple of stray dominoes... and didn't really know where to put them.. .so I decided that they would be what I would alter... good enough...

 

Well I started off with actually covering the dominoes with Tim Holtz tissue tapes...  and then I put a covering of Gloss Accent over the entire domino... and I actually let that dry for over 24 hours.. Just because I generally try and push the time and it gets all lumpy etc... so I was very patient this time, and waited... ho hum... it was a long enough wait...  Then I actually made the inside paper piece while I was waiting... 

 

But since we are looking at the covers... I will talk about them.. .LOL... I love DRAGONFLIES... and so one went on the top... and the little green bow... that was it... no more room... as I was going to have charms hanging out... as you can see... 

 

I actually measured the paper and scored each piece accurately... that is a huge thing for me... as most of the time.. the folds... well lets say that a lot of times they leave a lot to be desired... LOL... they generally are not even... but this one...  EVEN as all get out.. 

 

 

I then just started to stamp using only Tim's stamps... as they were on my work table...  and then I used some Distress pads, pens and stains to color in the spaces that I desired.... 

 

I had colored the charms with my alcohol ink...  and then put the heart together... and then put them onto the paper... that way all I would have to do is adhere the dominoes when they DRIED!!!!  I was bound and determined to allow them to totally DRY.

 

Each section is entirely different... and the butterflies are having fun.. and the birds are flying...  the leaves are green and summer is upon us here in North Carolina...  FULL BLOWN... 

 

Thanks Hels for the Challenge... and again I totally enjoyed myself...  learned how to patiently wait for things to dry.. and it worked out GREAT.. .

 

Hope you all will create something today that is pretty and reflects you and summer time...  thanks so very much for stopping by... and see you next Sunday... (On Sunday Stampers.. that is..) 

 

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
