The Glittery Hands May Tea And Cake Box Altered Frame

Hi all

I am back with my first project for The Glittery Hands Box design team. I have a reveal video as well so you can see what is in this months box. My first project was inspired a little by Alice in Wonderland.

https://www.theglitteryhandsbox.co.uk/

Start off by coating the frame in gesso and then using crackle paste with a stencil over the top.

Once the first layer has dried off, Glue bits of lace and material to the frame and paint with gesso.

Paint the frame with different coloured acrylic paints.

Rub gesso over the top to tone down the colours a bit. Then spray red ink over the hears and glue to the frame.

Glue mini cards to the edges of the frame.

Dye a few white fabric flowers with ink and once dry, glue to the corners of the frame.

Paint the teapot shape white and use a small background stamp over the top.

Paint a mdf fork with rust paste and then dry brush with metallic paint,

Print out the image at 6 x 4 and colour in before placing inside the frame.

Cherish The Memory Inspire Seaside Themed Altered Letters

Hello

I have a new make to share using the Summer Feelings paper pads available at Cherish The Memory.
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/614685279/studiolight-summer-feelings-card-making?ref=shop_home_active_20

I started off by painting each letter with white paint as an under coat and once that had dries i then painted over the top with DecoArt Premium Acrylic Turquoise. Then i applied DecoArt Texture Sand Paste and let it set.

 

I painted on Quinacidone Gold Fluid acrylic to get the rust. I wasn't sure to go steampunk on these or not so i met in the middle and went for a water worn look.

 

Next dye some cheese cloth. 

I used blue and light green to get this colour, This stuff is great as it gets disstressed when you heat dry it so you get this worn net look.

I used heavy gel medium to paste down the cloth and then i started decorationg the letters using the die cuts from the Summer Feeling Die Cut pad.

I also added gems and beads to the letters.

I used fake moss to create this underwater look. I was thinking about the things you find in the rockpools  after the tide has gone in.

ScraPerfect Mermaid Shaker Card

Hi all

I am back with a mixed media shaker card this week.

Start off by applying a stencil to a blank card using modelling mask. Use washi tape to keep the stencil in place.

Spray the whole card with mist spray and leave to dry.

Use  a die to cut out a Polaroid style frame from craft foam and apply Best Glue Ever to the back.

Glue the frame down to patterned paper and cut it out.

Use the die again to cut out a piece from another sheet of patterned paper and one from acetate.  Fill the box with sequins and then glue the acetate over the top and then add the patterned paper over the top. 

Glue down the shaker box and then add some dyed cheese cloth around the edge. Stamp out a mermaid and colour it in before adding it to the card.

Add some embellishments and finish with a sentiment.
