Personalising My Mobility Aids

Hello my lovelies!
I wanted to share with you something that is arty but also personal too. If you know me in real life or are friends with me on FB you will probably already know that I am disabled. If not you do now!  Anyway, I was kinda waiting in case I got fixed. I can't be fixed. So in order for me to get closure on my old life I decided to make my 'aids' mine. So I 'Sezed' them! (Sezed means personalised them) 😊
I used some fab Galaxy Duck Tape as a starting point. I applied the tape to the metal parts I wanted to cover. This took me a while! It wasn't particularly easy either, but I did it! I then sponged on some Black, Purple, Pink and Orange acrylic paint in different areas making sure I covered the joins of the tape to hide them. I then flicked White acrylic paint on with a toothbrush. Once dry I added some Iridescent glitter glue in spots to look like stars. I also made some covers for the armrests on my wheelchair. They are made from fluffy socks and elastic so I can wash them. I am happy with how my 'aids' have turned out and they're definitely more 'Sez'.

My wheelchair is named 'Speedy'. I need her for distances out and about.

This is my crutch it's name is Crutch... haha! 😜 Well that's the name that stuck, not very imaginative, but there you are!

I really appreciate you stopping by my little blog.
Much love and crafty hugs

Wedding Card inspired by Joanne Wardle for PaperArtsy

 Hiya my lovelies!

Over at PaperArtsy blog the lovely Joanne Wardle is guest designer.

I love her no fuss, simple style... Which is a little weird as I'm usually a grungy, distressed, vintagey kinda gal!

You can find the project that inspired me here.

 Joanne made Halloween projects & as I don't do Halloween I thought I could use the inspiration elsewhere!

My dearest Friend Sandra is getting married this Friday & I wanted to make her card a little differently...

 

Joanne used paints & stamps... I used Serif Craft Artist!

 

White background, used a thick brush in lilac & used a sentiment saved in weddings.

I used an embellishment from the Table Plans digikit & changed the colour to suit. I copy & pasted so I could Decoupage it. Printed it onto white card & cut it to fit my card. Cut the extra heart out, swiped a layer of Matte Medium on it & dipped it in iridescent glitter. ( The only glitter I own!) Then I used sticky pads to adhere it on top of the original heart. I finished it off by doodling lines & hearts around the edge with White Posca Pen.

 

It's the cleanest card I've ever made! lol!

 

 

It's not my usual style but I'm very happy with it!

I hope she likes it too!

I'd like to enter it into the PaperArtsy Challenge.

Quick card using Serif

Hiya Lovelies!

 

Just a quick post to share a quick card I made for my Stepdaughter.

 

 

I used the Avairy Exotic digikit for Serif Craft Artist.

I made my background & fussy cut an extra hummingbird so that I could decoupage it.

I used some check washi tape as a frame on the card & layered my background on top.

I added some iridescent glitter on the hummingbird to finish.

Voila!
