In Loving Memory

Hello everyone & welcome!

My first design team post for Denise Boddey designs for 2021 is dedicated to my dear dad who sadly passed away in December 2020.

This gorgeous photo is of my mum and dad on their wedding day.

My project's frame is from an old clock. Rather then throwing it away I decided to use it as a shadow box. I love to reuse and repurpose items when I can.

The chipboard piece I chose is called Vienna Flourish Rectangle.

I love this piece as it has the perfect vintage flair.

To create the desired effect I first had to cut the chipboard piece in half. This allowed me to frame my photo. I then used Antique white acrylic paint to paint each piece. When dry I added some metallic wax to highlight some areas.

Patterned papers and photo were then added to the chipboard pieces.

Next I cut a circle to fit inside the frame - patterned papers are from the Pion design range called Vintage Wedding. Just so perfect!!!

I then set about fussy cutting out some of the rose designs and arranged them in place before adhering each piece to the circle shape.

Layers of 3D foam tape were added to the whole photo piece before adhering in place as shown.

To finish I have fixed in place some paper roses, pearls, gold wedding bands and fussy cut butterflies.

Here is the completed project, now with the glass insert and outer black frame. JUST PERFECT!

Faux Stained Glass

Happy New Year

Today we are going to share a project Janet made last year

Making Faux Stained Glass

Looking at these Sprouts Panels from Denise Boddey Designs, I thought they would work well sandwiched together. Then I needed to decide what to put between them. Could I make faux stained glass with alcohol ink? Why not give it a try!

Materials:

Sprouts Panels
white acrylic paint
paintbrush
laminate and laminator
alcohol ink
dust cleaner
adhesive
twine
scissors
knife blade
Kamar Varnish
Clear Glaze

Here is a close-up of the finished project. I love how the colors blend together and show through the chipboard piece. Because the chipboard is laser cut, they align perfectly.

The whole finished piece with light shining through. I can't wait to hang this in a window. I think it turned out so nice.

Try it - Like it - Create it

Dream Catcher

Hello everyone & welcome,

Leanne here with you today and I would love to share with you my design team project........A Dream Catcher.

I have had this dream catcher for a little while now; it has been hanging on the door of my craft room and just crying out for some TLC.

So what better idea then to add some style and dimension with Denise's chipboard, plus lots of pretty embellishments and trims in some of my favorite colours.
