Soul Mate


Hello and a Happy New Year from Elizabeth. My first project for the year is using one of Kay's new Collectors Edition stamps, the Seahorse, which she designed especially for me.

Now sadly I managed to loose several photograph's as I swapped over onto my new laptop, so I do apologise.

Firstly I die cut a tag and covered it in the map paper and gave it a coat of White GeeSsoGood  before adding Glass Bead Gel and Mica Flakes, for texture.


I added a few large glass beads for more dimension. I had a scrap piece of inked card left over from making Christmas cards, which was just the right size and colour for stamping two of the Seahorses onto. After cutting them out I adhered them to the tag, so they were entwined.


I diluted some Verdigris and also Crushed Velvet Luscious and added the two colours all around the Glass Bead Gel, blending the edges so not to have any lines.

Finally I added sequins, some words from the Chit Chat Seasonal book with a frame drawn around, and a few black dots to tie the colours together.




Happy Crafting.

Antiquated Pencil Box


"An Antiquated Pencil Box"

Good day from the USA, everyone!

Candy here with a fun little pen holder. I have been obsessed with pens and paper all of my life.

Sadly, I believe I have taken out many forests of trees in my time on this earth. I recently got a cool little box with a monthly maker kit that I just adored. Alas, it had to be covered and what better than the gorgeous IndigoBlu papers!

IndigoBlu Supplies: English Cottage Acrylic Paint "Miss Moneypenny," Cartography Mixed Media Paper, Roman Numerals Stencil 6" x 6." Other Supplies: Beacon Adhesive 3-in-1, Prima La View Antiques Cloches, bare pencil box, paintbrush.




This fun pencil box lent itself to covering with this beautiful "Cartography" mixed media paper.




The beautiful copper color went really well on the paper and with its luxurious thickness it works so well with stencils.



Add the Miss Moneypenny to the outside of the box to complete the look.





Here I added the La View Antique Cloche, gives it a great three dimensional look.




I hope that you have been inspired to dress up any bare box you got lying around!

Altered Trunk with Solange Marques

Hi Everyone, it's Solange Marques here today to share with you an altered trunk.

I love to make suitcases and trunks from cartons. This piece was done by myself. For this project I used the IndigoBlu European Grand Tour Mixed Media Paper Pad 12x12 to cover the outside of the trunk.


I added lots of metal trims, a handle and old belts to the trunk;


I applied IndigoBlu Mega Flakes Autumn Blaze on some places of the trunk:


For the inside of the trunk I used the IndigoBlu Cartography Mixed Media Paper Pad 6x6 and I added images from the A5 IndigoBlu Grand Tour II stamp set;
