Recycled Packaging

At Out of a Hat Creations this week we are asking that you use some packaging that you received. This can be just part of your project or maybe you want to recycle a box, envelope or anything that you got with something inside it.


I made this Hanging for the guest bedroom--that should get folks up for sure .Mainly for my wonderful son-in-law who loves to stay in bed :)

I used an Amazon cardboard envelope, a cottage cheese carton and a box that had strawberries in it.

 I painted the sky and grass straight onto the card with some emulsion I found in the shed. Cut out some shapes from the carton and the box and Cuttlebugged em in a folder-then painted them with acrylic paint.. The red wavy edges are strips from the sides of the strawberry box.

The stamps are Chocolate Barouque-Punky Romance and a Lakeland Oriental stamp set -no longer available but I am pleased I have it cause I just love using the stamps in the set.

Hope you will join in with the Hatters for this challenge and visit Florence, Sandra and Janet to see what they have made for the challenge.

I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
