altered coaster

Hi everyone!

Todays craftyness is another random thing that just happened! I was sat on the sofa watching a film, and i always like something to fiddle with, so i started making the flowers. Then obviously they needed something to go on, so i found an old coaster and attacked it with acryclic paint, distress inks,bubble wra[ and a hole punch to make it into a hanger. I must have run up and downstairs about 10 times to get bits n bobs from my craft desk...not a good idea when you've got m.e... But it was fun! The letter is from an old game, painted, inked, stamped and glittered, and then i added ribbon, lace, punched butterflies and flowers, gems, pearls and more glitter! :)

I'm entering it in these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Childrens Challenge - Anything you want

Allsorts - rags to riches

Tuesday Taggers - Altered art

Your next stamp - distressing

Creative card crew - going dotty

Thanks for looking

Rachel xx
