Color Outside The Lines

Hi everyone.  I'm here, and on The 7kids challenge blog to share an altered sign with you today.

 I saw this sign at Goodwill and knew it would be perfect for my craft room.

All it needed was the COLOR !!!!!

I was so excited to get to work on the idea I had for this, that I forgot to take a before picture.  oops!!!

Just know that all the lettering was white.  I just couldn't leave it that way. LOL

So I got out some of my stencils and used Tim Holtz Distress Paint

to make it COLORFUL!!!!

 I loved COLORING OUTSIDE THE LINES!!!!

I think it turned out pretty cool.  Just like I imagined it would and that rarely happens. LOL!!!!

 Hope this inspires you to alter something fun.  Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting :)

Hugs,

Michele

Tim Holtz distress paints used:

Worn Lipstick

Hi all. With Arizona being under an excessive Heat warning until Sunday, We're talking

 close to 120 degrees!!!!! what's a gal to do?

Make Christmas cards of course!!!!!  

I'm also Hosting on the 7kids challenge blog today 

While making this card I retreated to my air conditioned craft room,

   turned the ceiling fan on HIGH and pretended to be in Santa's work shop LOL!!!

The sentiment I used came from   The doodle-greetings stamp set by Tim Holtz

I embossed the sentiment with black embossing powder.

For the Background I used Distress Oxide inks in

 Cracked Pistachio,  Fired Brick , fossilized-amber, and Peeled paint.

I felt a little cooler after making this Christmas card so I guess I'll be making more before the week's through LOL!!!!  anything to keep my mind off of the HEAT!!!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy crafting :)

Hugs,

Michele
