OK the top picture has been hanging in my kitchen for 3 years it's from a set of 2 and when I read the 2 challenges ..arty girlz Alter something and this thursday (black is back) I decided to alter the picture and frame which I had planned to do for my GD for her Birthday in November, she has been gathering Audrey Hepburn 'stuff' for a while, ready to have her bedroom decorated in A H style....
First I painted the whole thing with black acrylic after removing the original picture (will use that for something else...lol)
I then added 2 x 2'' mirrors to each corner of the background, then added bling inbetween them.
I chose one of my brand new paper's from Anita's 6x6'' Classic Christmas Black Papers... never used her papers before but must say it truely is a lovely paper and the perfect colours to match Alecias silky bedding.
I then added this beautiful image from Karen at Scrapz.
The flourish is from one of Cosmo Cricket black board sets...unsure as to which one as I have a few of them but can find out if you wanted to know.
Finally I added some bling to her black German Metal crown to complete the look.
Here are a few close up pictures... in one you can see the ceiling rose lol...my photographer did well don't you think...thanks Chris. 
I hope Alecia likes it, I have bought silk and diamond cushions to match it along with a picture frame that is perfect to add to her room.
Thanx for looking.

OK, I am sooo not a yellow and orange person and found this a tough one to do but wasn't going to be beat.
The sunglasses stamp is one from Inkadinkado which I have had for some time and used it for the first time today.. I suppose this is what a challenge does for you...makes you search the stamp boxes for inspiration. The bathing cap advert is from Karen at Scrapz the flip flops are an EBay find along time ago...they just seem to finish it off. I feel sure I will do this challenge again because it proved I can work with the 2 colours I would never normally use.
This card covers both 4X4 Friday and Wednesday Stamper Luv Chriss x
This is my ATC for 'Think Monday Think ATC. my first time taking on the challenge and once again I dont think it will be my last.
This ATC was made a month or so ago but only just getting round to showing it here it's been shown in the Scrapz Gallery since May.
I bought the stamp from Karen at 'Scrapz uk' why not pop over and see here amazing collection of Crafty Goodies. http://www.scrapz.co.uk/
The fab papers I both stamped and doodled on are from the Cosmo Cricket Cogsmo range...love doodling
I just adore this fairy stamp I have used on this bleach, water and ink tecnique ATC the stamp is one designed by local artist (to me) Jean Hardy of Crafty Individuals...see her online store for more of her wonderful creations. http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/
I finished the ATC off by adding gold embossing
using a selection of stamps, sorry I can't remember where I bought them.
Lastly this tiny shrine is a lovely piece of art which looks so at home on this ATC, it has been created by Rosie and once again the back ground paper and papers she stamped on are from CC and with that already distressed look to it, it is perfect for the Rosies Modonna.
More tomorrow along with a great LO from Chrissy plus you can see just what Linda did with all her little bits of scrap papers she had left over from CC, waste not want not as the saying goes.
I love it and can hardly wait to share it with you tomorrow.
