Using It Up...

I've not had alot of time this week what with DT projects for Snazzy's {which BTW there is another project up today HERE} But I have been a good girl and have been using it up..mainly on cards.

I got the sizzix heart die b4 xmas and cut a whole bunch of hearts out straight away..  as I usually get a die and then it sits there for ages before I use it.. {But i'm trying my best to get out of that habit},  anyways I picked a couple of those and painted one in gold and the other was stamped and embossed with a powder I had not tried before..  It's available @ Snazzy's & it's called WOW and the colour I used is Vanilla White..   which I have to say is LUSH..  it comes out a lovely ivory colour...which i've not come across in an embossing powder before. Anywho I digress..   I inked over the whole thing with blue, then the sides with my faithful 'vintage photo' DI and slapped um both down on a base of masked off paint and scrap hessian, the saying was another of the freebie ones from an old mag.

It's pretty simples but I like it.

This is it before 

I have also been Using It Up in other ways.. I brought a couple of wooden box pieces a long time ago.. I thought they would make good configuration boxes but when they arrived they were WAY too big so they just sat in my room gathering dust.. Well the other day I whipped um out and changed um up a bit and now I have a new storage for my ink pads!

And this is it now.. It needs a bit more altering to make it look pretty!

Right I must get on.. things to do.. blogs to visit.. art to make.
Till next time..   Stay Inky
