SDC47 Altered Items

Think I've just managed to get this blogged before it ends.  The challenge was to alter something...



I used a piece of the packaging from an Amazon order, painted over it with Paperartsy Fresco paints, stamped the image onto a piece of fabric, stuck it to the tag and then machine stitched around it.  Stamped the daisy stamp across the bottom and coloured the flowers in with a Souffle pen, then stamped the heart stamp and coloured with a Faber Castell brush pen.  Do take a look at all the other entries here.

I do an ATC swap with my friend Pat, and this is what I did for the February swap


I know she likes it because we've just had lunch together.
