Altered Items

my friend karen recently hosted an altered item swap. she kindly provied us with a note book, a cd and a wooden jigsaw.


this is the note book which i decorated with Tim Holtz papers, which i love.




This is the cd which i altered using alcohol inks. i used alphabet stickers to create the words, i then covered the whole disk in black versafine ink. i removed the stickers which allowed the alcohol inks to show through, i then coated the cd with clear embossing powder to create an enamelled effect. the words are lyrics from GreenDays "Time of your life".



This is the domino, i altered it using images from HOTP and edged it with a thick coat of pearlescent acrylic medium. i added a metal charm to each side.



i really enjoyed this swap kaz - thanks so much x x
