Bad Attempt

Good afternoon peeps! are you enjoying your Saturday .. hope the weather is better in your neck of the woods ? it's dull,dingy & damp here in Staffordshire :(

Please dont laugh at my sad attempt at what you are about to see,lol I bought this little hanging thingy the other day and thought I'd have a go at... well, not sure what I was going to do with it really ... anyway, after looking at it for a while and pondering, I decided to use Distress inks on it... Antique Linen was my 1st colour then added a bit of Rusty Hinge, still not convinced it looked right I then decided to use one of my Swirl stamps on it using Forest Moss.... BIG MISTAKE, it looked ok at first but then the inks started to bleed ~ still determined not to give in I came up with the idea of adding a bit of sparkle to cover the runs so added some Glamour Dust ... so this is the end result, not very good I know but at least I tried something new and I will learn by my mistakes ... I can always hang it in the loo,lol



Thanks for popping by.. sorry if it was a wasted visit :( ~ see ya soon

xx Hugs Lizzy xx

  15. You mad woman ! This is lovely, I would have it in my house. I think you have done really well and been very brave in giving it a go :-) If you really dont like it then you could always give it as a present. If I and everyone else loves it then whoever you give it to as a present would love it too :-)
