By The Sea I Long To Be

We have another great challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers.  The theme this week is "anything but a card" and my project is a diorama. 

I made this diorama using a box I found at a Dollar Store along with a pad of designer called Sail Away by First Edition Paper, clay molds using a Stamperia mold, Pentar Lasur stain, sailing rubber stamps by Stampers Anonymous, and 

odds and sods  from my stash.  

I took the door off of my box, stained the door and lined the box with my designer paper. 

I then decorated the little boxes.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Hope you will going us in the Anything Goes challenge.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog, Crafty Cardmakers to be inspire by our talented design team.

Time for another great challenge at Splashy Mix Challenges.  This is the mood board for this month's challenge.  

I love the colours and textures of the mood board and they inspired me to create this project. 

 I chose to alter an old Christmas card box, which I had in my stash of things to alter.

This is the box that I altered.

This is my finished project.

Here are my steps that I used to create my altered box.

painted my box with a few layers of  white gesso

created a mould using Stamperia Texture Impression - Lace and Stamperia Cream Mixed Media Paste and adhered it to the top of the box

added gems and ribbon

painted the project with Pink Chiffon Pearl acrylic paint

used Metallic Gilding Polish and Pentart Gold Wax Paste to highlight the textures

and added metal findings, moulded heart, and gold wooden birds to complete the project

Here are some other views of the project.

Christmas Canvas

This canvas was made for  our Christmas theme challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and our last challenge of 2019. 

I made this Christmas canvas using several designer papers from Stamperia, it is their Make a Wish Collection. 

To make my canvas I used a snowflake stencil and Ice Effect by Pentart on the paper I used for the base of my 12 by 12 canvas then layered pieces of other papers such as the tree and angel.  The houses were hand drawn on cardboard and layered with papers from the collection. The windows were cut with a die cut and the door was cut by hand.  The snow effect on the houses and tree is a Pentart product called snow paste. I added a twisted ribbon  in Christmas colours. I also used Pentart glitter pen, Nuvo Crystal Drops in white and clear and a  Merry Christmas die cut.

Thank you for stopping by. Hope you will join us in this Christmas challenge. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our creative design team. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  See you in 2020.
