I still haven't got my main PC back so today I have had to load PhotoShop Elements and start again with this post (the original is sitting in Windows Live Writer on the hard disk of the other machine).
Anyway today it is the next challenge for Divas by Design and for this next fortnight we want you to show us anything but a card.
I have wanted to alter a bottle for ages and so I had a go. Can you recognise the bottle (only if you like coffee!!!!!)? I will tell you at the end of the post.
The photos show the changes made. You can see I have used paint - and I used the PaperArtsy Fresco Finish acrylic paint - lace, ribbon, net, string, buttons, beads, a key, a link from a belt and a metal butterfly with some chain.
The bottle painted with 2 layers of paint and crackle glaze between them. All by PaperArtsy.
The top was painted with the PaperArtsy gold paint.
Did you guess the bottle? It is one that had Gingerbread syrup in it that I love in coffee. The same as you can get in Costas.
So show us what you are making at the moment that isn't a card for your chance to win a prize from Crafty pad and we will come and leave you some love.
Before I finish I had a fabulous morning meeting up with another blogging friend. Irene lives very close to me and is sister in law to Shirley who I met up with a few weeks ago. She is encouraging me to start some classes so I am definitely going to set something up. Thanks Irene for your support and advice.
Take care everyone and thanks for stopping by to see what I am up to.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
