Hello crafters..
I am here with my last post for Scrapping4Fun…yes it’s sad
but on the brighter side I had a great time with my teamies and Rachelle, a great leader to work with! . Thank you Rachelle…I learnt a lot for as first time DT!
As for the challenge this time…it is…
Isn't it really cute...I hope to see you all play along. You can create a card, LO, mini album or "off the page" creations too...Do hop over here to see some amazing DT creations.
And I went with Winter. Yes, it is winter in this part of
India( Bangalore) too but not freezing cold! I have never experienced snow till
date and its my dream to see, feel and
touch snow and experience that kind of winter! Well, some day…
So, for me winter is White and snow capped nature and
drawing inspiration form thet I have an altered project today. Have a look…\If
you are thinking this is an altered picture frame, NO it is not. Hang on till
the end to see what it is!
Firstly I sanded the
wooden square and applied a generous coat of gesso.
Then I did some stenciling
with TH cargo alphabets and sprinkled some glitter too when it was wet. I did
some random stamping and added some die cuts from my stash too and sanded texture
paste too in places.
Once this was dry, I created a photo mat behind so that the
photo can be changed now and then…who likes to see the same thing all the year
round! I love the expression on this little girls face…cuddling up with that
warm teddy. I knew she had to be here. I got her from We Love Vintage Challenge blog...they have some amazing vintage pics.
I started working on the embellishments next…I altered a few
modge melts here, the flourish and the border, I colored it with acrylics.
The
dragon fly got some more special treatment…has rock candy distress crackle
paint and then colored it in brown to highlight the cracks. Love it!
I gathered a floral arrangement with some hand made flowers
in one corner and randomly stuck words from the chit chat stickers, all related
to the Season, no doubt!
I then twisted a wire for the hanging with some jingle bells
and made a matching tag with a bow. The tag too has some stencil work, glitter
and the seasons greetings!
Finally I applied gesso around the edges of the
frame and on all the embellishments o give the winter feel and snow capped elements.
Brrrr….isn’t it
cold..this is my first experience with snow, lol!
Now are you ready to see what I have re cycled here…
Frankly, I didn’t know what it is called, so thought I will
keep this till the end. Thanks for your patience and hope to her your comments,
they all make me smile.
