Proof Positive and 2 more Cabinet Cards

So here's proof positive that Tim was in TX on Saturday. I was lucky enough to be there early in the day - before the swarms of ladies surrounded him the remainder of the day. As usual, he was full of tips and information. For example, I have not one, but two, pairs of his Tonic scissors but never knew that there is no metal whatsoever in the handles - you can actually squeeze them together! That's what makes them so comfortable! Also, did you know that you can use alcohol inks to recolor silver glitter stickers whatever color you need? No need to buy every color in the rainbow - just silver! Just a few of the things I learned that day...

I've finished two more altered cabinet cards. This first scan is blurry - that's a 3D rusted key on the left which is very hard to scan. This was actually a bright gold key which I used Sophisticated Finishes 2-step rust antiquing on. I used the watercolor crayons again on the background after first gessoing and adhering scraps of text pages.


I love this precious baby photo. I used pink acrylic paint and a script stamp for the background and added a sticker border and word, text page Stickled wings, two hand cut hearts and some antique lace, tatting and button.



One more to go and then I need to work on the box/holder which will accompany them.

Oh my gosh there is my Timmy. Isn't he just adorable???? I could eat him alive. I can't wait to see what you do with the disney princess thingy. I just ordered a ton of Tim's stuff. I wish my michaels carried more than just the ach inks. hugs V
and thanks for the kind words of encouragement. It broke my heart. I really thought that she would come through with the canvas I bought I was really hurt that she didn't. AS I said it wasn't even about the money you know. If something was wrong I just wish she would have said hey, I can't do the canvas and I need the money. I would have sent her more money just because....
oh well.....lesson learned.

hugs again
