Altered Mini Cabinet Card Frame

I'm going to host an altered mini cabinet card swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group in April.  This is a sample that I created.  First I stamped the frame with a Tim Holtz doily stamp using brown archival ink.  It looked too busy, so what to do about that? I glued down some bits of a vintage sewing pattern. It still looked too brown, so I swiped some magenta archival ink on the pattern pieces.  Tiny mother of pearl buttons were glued down next. The background paper is from the "Garment District" 6x6 paper pack by Marion Smith.  The woman image is my very favorite woman image.  She's on the "Fabulous Faces" collage sheet.  I opened one of the Flutter collage sheets into graphic editing software and made a butterfly pink.  Everything to make this altered cabinet card is available at Collage Stuff except for the ink pads and paper pack.  Thanks for stopping by!

Third Altered Bingo Card

This is my third altered bingo card for the Collage Stuff August Altered Bingo Card Swap.  I used distress paints and regular acrylic paints for the background.  The sea life part is from a collage sheet that I bought on Etsy.  The mermaids are from Hidden Vintage Studios at the Deviant Scrap website.  The charms were in one of my stashes.  The German scrap fish and bingo cards are available at Collage Stuff.  I used white fish but tinted them green with some homemade glitter spray.  I overstamped part of the bingo card with a swirly stamp and embossed with gold. If you'd like to participate in this swap, join the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group.  Thanks for stopping by!

New Postcard

Here is a new postcard that I created today. It's a vintage photo of Westminster Abbey altered digitally. I think it almost looks a little steampunk. This image in different colors will be available on a collage sheet at Collage Stuff soon!
