Alter It at FSC!

It is always such great fun to alter an item and that is exactly what we are doing at Fashionable Stamping Challenges!  Just remember that your alteration must have some form of stamping as we are a stamping challenge blog!  There is always a prize from Cottage Crafts, you could be among the "Top 3" or be under the "Spotlight,"  so come on by and join in all the great fun!  My most talented DT Sisters have some really amazing projects, so stop on by FSC for more fabulous alteration ideas! 

For my piece, I used a clay pot and covered it with white gesso.  From there, I added Distress Stains and blended with a paint brush.  Once I like the colors, I gave this a light spray with a sealer.  A coat of Mod Podge went over the top and then some white tissue paper.  Once dried, I used up some colors on my Distress Ink applicators to add a little extra color!  Another quick spray with a sealer and then a coat of Mod Podge.  The leaves from Heartfelt Creations were stamped with Archival Coffee onto some painted/inked card stash and clear embossed.  Love when you can use up scraps!  I cut these out and glued them down with MP and then covered the entire pot with a few coats of MP.  

After all was done, I needed to add little embellishments and had a hard time deciding.  Then I remember a lovely little box of goodies, my sweet friend, Vada, had sent to me!  The little Fall colored Maple leaves, I thought were just perfect!  Thank you, Vada!   BTW, if you don't know Vada, you should visit her, because she is one amazing artist! 

Enjoy the weekend and again your visits are deeply appreciated.
