Smudgy Antics July Challenge: Anything Goes - with a twist

July's challenge at Smudgy Antics comes with a twist:

'' FOR THE LOVE OF POE''
We want to see your Poe inspired projects....
you can take inspiration from his poems... stories.... his life...from films inspired by his work..
think ravens...lost love... beating hearts... or orangutans!

I made a Poe box from a pink box with a plastic cover, that came with biscuit recipes and a cookie cutter. From pink to black, red and white. =)

The box is painted black and the little compartments are covered with a paper from the digital Poe boy paper kit with a heart pattern. Then I used a lot of Poe digis colored with red, gray and pale face color promarkers.

All the images are added with 3D pillows or tape, I used an edge scraper around the sentiment in the upper left corner.

This is the box with the cover on.

Art with No Boundaries Ezine March Vol. 4 - Guest Artist

I made this as a Guest Artist entry in Art With No Boundaries Online Ezine March Vol. 4 and it's one of my favorites so far! Please go and check out all the other fantastic creations that Chris at CS Designs has made too!

My little asianbox

I found this little box with coasters at a flea market and thought it would be a good project for recycling! =)

I wasn't sure what to make of it, after I had given my mum all the coasters, so decided to check through my digis first.

When I found CS Designsbeautiful Anna Wong image I just had to print her out and color her with my promarkers.

Her hair got a brown color, the decorations in her hair are in green, yellow and red tones and a slight touch of pink on her lips.

Then back to the box, I have package of asian style napkins that are well used for crafting, so I cut out a piece and used my decoupage glue to add it to the lid of the box. Since the wood is so dark I had to add two layers of napkins and I really like how it turned out! 

I added Anna Wong with my trusty glue and then used a stamp pad to chalk the edges of the lid in champagne. To make sure it wouldn't come off I use a varnish spray and on the areas where it didn't work, I added some more decoupage glue.

I really like how it turned out and maybe I'll keep it or give it to a friend, haven't decided yet! =) 

Art With No Boundaries Ezine creation 2

Här kommer en av mina två återanvändna askar som jag gjorde om till Art With No Boundaries December Ezine! Här finns en länk till den engelska texten/the english text!            
En ask har innehållit hörlurar och den fick ett nytt utseende och jag fick användning av Angeline och ett snöflingecitat från CS Designs! =)

Så här kommer hörlureasken, den var perfekt då den har ett litet fönster! =)  

Jag började med att klä insidan av asken, sedan skrev jag ut citatet två gånger på ett vellumpapper med lite upphöjda snöflingor.

Ett av citaten hamnade i asken så att det syns genom fönstret, sedan fick jag mäta ett mönstrat papper så att jag skulle få en ruta i det för fönstret, det gick rätt så bra! Insåg att dubbelhäftande tejp är guld värd!=)

Sedan färglade jag Angeline x 2, klippte ut dem och fäste dem på asken, snöflingan som jag köpte som dekorationer för åt år sedan blev perfekt till asken och fästes med min lilla trogna limpistol!
