I do have a good excuse (honest)!!
these are actually made with beer mats.....................................I know who would have thought it!!!!
We stamped acetate with various stamps in Staz-On and the sentiment was cut into separate sections and inked around - I love this look.........................we used an eyelet setter (can't think of its name at the mo) but the one that was extremely popular several years ago......................and different alcohol inks......................
in its full glory..........................
I love how you can take something so simple and turn it into a lovely work of art!
Sorry about the photo quality but it was a little difficult due to the sheen from the acetate.......(my excuse)!!
This post is late as we were actually away on holiday last week, we had to do a little rejigging of dates due to the funeral of MIL but it all worked out....................
I picked up some kind of bug (possibly on the flight) and lost a full day in bed and felt a bit rubbish for the rest of the week but didn't really stop me doing things...........................anyway we landed back into Gatwick on Thursday and left the airport at 6pm and didn't arrive home until 11.45pm!!! and no we do not live in the outer Hebrides!!! the journey was horrendous.................anyway straight to bed after putting a load of washing in then work at 8am until 4.30pm so last night was washing and ironing and very late commenting on blogs!!!!
Anyway after a long winded excuse that is the reason that yet again, I am late with the Oldie Friday Post!!!! but hope you like it and again I must say that this was made in a project workshop a couple of years ago with Julie Atkinson who has provided me with lots of inspiration and I now look at everything differently and wonder mmmmm I wonder what I could do with that???
Have a lovely BH weekend and to all those who a little under the weather I wish you a speedy recovery......

Gail, not good reference get that bug, I was like that when we went to Canada 18 months ago, I was so ill for the first 4 days, take care, as I know how it effected me. At least you did get away. That was some journey home. Great oldie, it's nice to see different forms of craft. Hazel x
