LOC # 43 - Upcycle

Hello my crafty friends,

This weeks challenge over at Left of Center is to upcycle, and our sponsor is Meljen's Designs. So many wonderful images to choose from but when i saw Steampunk Girl I knew she would be perfect for my upcycle project.

I've used a sardine tin to make a little shadow box for my steampunk girl. This one is different than the other tins I have collected as it's goldish in color.  I have also used old book pages for my back ground and my butterflies.  If you've stopped by the challenge blog you will notice that my sample has changed from when I sent in my pic there.  I felt my first attemp was too plain. So I added some bronze glitter glue around the inside of the tin. Punched out more butterflies, changed my flower color and added a bunch of browntone gems. A lot more fun I think.
Please join us over at LOC in upcycling somethign this week!

LOC Challenge #5

Hello my crafty friends! It's time for a new challenge over at Left of Center Challenges, this weeks theme is to use a digi image. How easy is that?!?  Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles and I was so excited to pic out one of her images to play with.

This is Steampunk Sally, isn't she gorgeous?!? I found some really cool paper last week at Hobby Lobby and I just knew it would be perfect with this image.  I colored her with pencils using mostly brown tones with a splash of teal and reddish brown for her hair.

Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will play with us over at Left of Center Challenges this week!
