FRAMED XMAS

Framed Xmas

Good Morning
Today I am sharing my Framed Xmas project with you.

 This project was inspired by our very own Sophie.

I seen her version on display at the Scrapmatts stand and just loved it, so I wanted to do my version of it.

Steampunk Guitar

Steampunk Guitar

Hello and Welcome 

Today I want to share with you my take on the Off the Rails Sept Challenge.

Steampunk...My favourite kind of challenge.

Here is my challenge entry

An off the page altered guitar. Heavily embellished with cogs, wings and metal. 

 I have used a cog chipboard border from Scrapmatts on the arm.

To create the mosaic effect, I cut up an old cd and used 3D Gloss Gel to adhere to guitar.

To colour the guitar, I have used a combination of Rust paste and Antique Brass Distress Paint.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creation.

White with 1 Challenge.....Cayenne

A very good morning to you all.

It's 1am here in WA and I have just finished my challenge for White with 1

http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/

This month it is Cayenne

Here is my entry

 I have used the Dusty Attic Bubbles stencil with Dylusions Postbox Red Spray. I also used the spray to colour my corrugated cardboard.

The red dot paper is from Bo Bunny Elf Magic collection.

I coloured the Scrapmatts chipboard word with Picket Fence Distress Paint.

Pitter Patter Baby's Treasure Box

Welcome

Hope this day finds you well.

I wanted to share with you one of my latest projects using Kaisercraft's Pitter Patter papers.

I really enjoyed making this project and was very happy with the finished item.

I have used many materials and it took me a few hours to put it together. 

 I started with 6x6" chipboard squares to make the box.

I then covered each square using the Pitter Patter papers, alternating the patterns so each side was different.

I then used the Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Bundled Sage and made a light wash effect over the paper.

 I used pinecone ink to edge all the squares & colour the chipboard.



 For the lid, I have used Dusty Attic Chipboard embellishments, flowers and leaves. Tim Holtz Filmstrip ribbon, mini staples and Decorative Knob. Kaisercraft Pitter Patter Collectables and paper. Some Kaszazz Washi Tape.

.

After layering the elements over the lid, I then gave it a spray with the Tattered Angels Glimmer mist.

I used some gauze to add a extra dimension to the design.  

After I had glued the sides together , I used some washi tape to hold it secure and this added another element to the design 

.

On this side I added Dusty Attic Adore Pebble, gauze, Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon, Kaszazz washi and Feet embellishments, so I could stand the box.

This side I have used gauze, Kaisercraft Collectables, Dusty Attic Chipboard Embellishments.

I really love their small rose buds, hashtag words and view finder wheels.

 With this side I used the Kaisercraft Collectables, Dusty Attic hashtag word, chicken wire, flowers and leaves, viewfinder wheel and washi tape. I placed gauze behind the word to add dimension and break up the chipboard elements.

                                                                                                                                                            With this side I used some left over Dusty Attic - String of Hearts chipboard to cover the left hand side. I used gauze under it to add some softness.

                                                                                 

I used washi and the filmstrip ribbon on this side, then layered a sentiment piece over the top, placed a viewfinder wheel under the sentiment piece and then placed flowers and leaves on top to add extra dimension. I attached the paper elements with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

 To finish off the project I sprayed all the pieces with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Olive Vine.
I have not taken a photo of it but to attach the lid, I used some Butterfly Hinges from Kaszazz, so I am able to open the lid and place in little treasures.

This was the end result, which I am very happy with.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at this project and find a little inspiration to think outside the box and challenge yourself, as this was really out of my comfort zone. It really helped me to just go with the creativity and don't be so judgemental in my own work. I think it really is a beautiful piece that would take pride of place in any baby's nursery.

Dusty Attic Challenge "Rockstar"

 Time for a new post. It's been awhile.

 I have just recently returned from Bali with my husband , where we took a short break to recharge the batteries. 

I wanted to share with you this page which I designed 

for a Dusty Attic Monthly Challenge at Made with Memories.

The background paper is from my stash. It is a Teresa Collins On the Edge paper range. 

I grudged it up a bit by tearing and distressing the edges and then I used black ink to cover the edges. I have also mounted it onto a 12x12 piece of cardboard.

I then used a script stencil with some modelling paste to add a mixed media element to the page.

I then covered the chipboard Dusty Attic Guitar with the black glitter paper and sanded the edges.

To embellish I used the pop out elements from the paper range and the metal cross (I turned it upside down) is from Spotlight. The skull metal embellishment is also from Spotlight in the bead and jewellery section.

.

I then used washi tape for added dimension. The music note chipboard is from Dusty Attic. 

I covered them using the Metallic Distress Paint Gold Dabber.

The chipboard word is individual letters from Dusty Attic.

Photo of Jon is from David Bergman. Bon Jovi's official photographer. Ordered online.

I really loved the way this page turned out and will go into the Bon Jovi album.

I wasn't forunate enough to win this challenge but that's ok. I am always up for a challenge!!
