My Odds and Ends

Hi, what a gorgeous day it's been here, considering it forecast rain!  This is something I made last night but haven't had chance to post it on as I've been at my mum's all day.  I wasn't sure what it was going to be really until I started.  I used a few left-over bits and pieces lying around such as the flower, butterfly and the lace.  I used DI on the background, and I bought some TH tissue tape from Craft-Room which I was itching to use so, having seen what Craft Stamper magazine did with a few stationery items, I had a go myself and covered a bulldog clip, finishing it off with a bit of fresco finish metallic glaze - I also used this on the butterfly and torso.  I also saw what they did with a paper clip in CS mag so had a go at that as well, with some Sepia Glossy Accents.  The chain around the torso is from a broken piece of jewellery (I have a tendency to occasionally take apart unbroken ones!) and the punched paper pieces were a mat that I had punched and not used.  The flower is has been inked and covered in crackle accents, with a snappy thingy added to the centre.   I used an edging tool to rough the edges a bit, matted it and mounted it on a page from a chipboard album. 

All in all, I'm really pleased at how this has turned out, considering most of it is from left-overs, lol.  I do hope you like it.
