For the Girls

Hallo Everyone

Hope your week has gone well

and you are ready for the

weekend!  Hooray for Friday!

Here is the next instalment

of our current theme, which

I hope you are enjoying and

gaining inspiration from

Helen Chilton has a shrine 

for us today so sit back and

watch the magic unfold....

"I chose the Shadow Box Shrine 

for my Art-C project.

I've started by painting the pieces white 

and sprinkling with Pixie Powders.

Just rub it into the wet paint. I also used Teal Wash.

Then I scraped some Crackle Paint onto one side.

For the flowers, colour some thin card 

with Distress Oxides....

......and then cut out loads with the 

Impression Obsession dies.

Curl them up and wire them with a 

bead in the centre.

I thought the back needed a bit more oomph,

 so I stencilled it in black.

The twirly bits - all provided in the kit - 

have been painted with some of the 

Indian Pink Cosmic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish.

The base is painted white and coloured with

 Pixie Powder as before. I then doodled on it in 

black mainly to cover up the fact that I

 can't paint straight lines!

Add a few more loose flowers and 

stick it all together."

That is a delightful gift Helen

thank you

You know Everyone, those

flowers are nowhere as fiddly

to make as they look - and

they are quite spectacular 

when wired into a bunch!  All

you need is the die and bits 

of paper from your stash to

get started.......

Just saying....

'Till tomorrow
