Altered Embroidery Hoop

I love altered ART, and all the different ways you can alter just about anything... We have a monthly altered ART swap in our group https://groups.io/g/CreatingARTFriendships.. This month the swap was to alter an embroidery hoop.. I have never attempted this before, so I was excited to work on this.. Here is what I came up with....

I LOVE the way it turned out, What do you think?? I made up a bunch of different flowers and used some of them in this hoop.. I love to make my own flowers, as well as all of my embellishments..

This picture shows a bit of a close up, and shows how I raised the frame with cheese cloth behind it..
This was a FUN swap and am looking forward to the next one, we are doing an altered CD..

Thank-you so much for visiting my blog!! Have a blessed day!

Washi Tape Card...

I have to admit I have never used washi tape for a card... I do like the way I used it and how it looks on this card.. The flowers are colored with sharpies, and matched perfectly with the washi tape..  

I used the black cardstock as the card, and layered teal and white cardstock on top.. The flowers are raised with foam to give it a little pop...

I entered this card into the following challenges...
