Believe

 

Happy Sunday hope you all are having a lovely long weekend.

 Today Tina is sharing her reminder clock to Make the time to Believe in yourself, a big welcome to Tina again

Hello and welcome to my share . 

  • I started with a piece of packaging which I coated with several layers of gesso. 
  • I then added a brick stencil and then layers of colours. 
  • I added some stamping.
 


  • I then focused on the clock chipboard. 
  • I added colour and then some embossing powder. 
  • I did  the same with  the scroll leaves. I cut them up to use in layers.



  • I wrapped some Hessian ribbon around the clock. 
  • I added layers of paper from the new fabulous story book range behind my papers. 
  • I coloured some flowers as well as making  home-made flowers from the paper range. 
  • I used the believe in yourself title. I covered in black gesso then added some waxes which are available in store.



  • some coloured cheese cloth, splatters and microbeads finished the project. 


Thank you for stopping by! I hope this inspires you

 Good Morning and happy Sunday. Hope this post finds you all well today we welcome Theresa back to the blog to showcase her awesome altered pencil case box with step instructions



  • I have taken an MDF pencil box and a selection of papers from Denise Boddey Le Jardin Romantique collection along with a couple of Denise Boddey chipboards





  • I have painted the entire box with a mixture of acrylic paints and also painted my chipboard pieces with white gesso


  • Next was to add my papers to the box both inside each compartment and on the lid



  • I have glued the chipboard pieces to the side of the box 
  • I have used Archival inks to colour the hair and vines on the chipboard pieces for the lid
  • I have layered the chipboard on the lid adding some muslin around the chipboard
  • Also 3 d mounting some flowers over the top of others on the lid
