You Complete Me!

Texture!!!!
Some times it's hard to add texture to a card, or project, but I can tell you all it was so much fun.
I used distress inks and embossing powder to create a rusted like background, it has this tiny bumps and a coarse feeling all over.
Some stitches were added to the sentiment, for added texture.
To finish this card I used some buttons.
Here is my creation:

Altered Art!

I have been intimidated by the idea of sharing any project that involves altering items. I love working on them and most of the times I give them away as presents, it is a great way to reuse something.

I have a lot of CD's that are not getting any use, and of course this is what I altered into a wall hanging.

Here is my creation:
