It's the first of the month, which means a new challenge starts at Rhedd's Creative Spirit. I do so love being on this team, as I get to play about with all sorts of awesome stuff, not just cards! In fact, I don't get to play about with cards at all on this team, as we're of course a Altered Art Only challenge!
There were some amazing entries again in April, and I do urge you to go take a peek at who was chosen as the winner... just gorgeous!
Anyways, my project for this month is a shadow box type thingie... I found the frame in The Works a few weeks ago, and decided it was perfect for turning into something pretty, so that's what I did!
I used chalk paint for my frame, and decorated it in a shabby chic baby theme. I dug around my stash for suitable baby-type embellishments, and added flowers and butterflies too. Some lace and cheesecloth "carpets" add a bit of texture, and I liked the look of the string of pearls cascading down the side, so went with that.
The letters are simple chipboard letters, which I inked and triple embossed (a new technique for me, and I love it!) with a little glitter thrown in.
The rocking horse actually had a red base and saddle, which I decided looked out of place, so out it came and out came the pink acrylic paint to make it fit in with the colour scheme a little better. I also sprinkled a little glitter on while it was still wet, to tie it in with the letters.
So there you go. Now all you need to do before joining in with the fun, is go see what my fellow teamies have created for you. it'll be worth your while!
And look at the incredible prize from sponsor Fernli Designs that you could win:
I think I may need to dig out a disguise and try to enter myself! lol.
Have a fantastic day peoples. I promise I will be back properly just as soon as this pain goes away, but in the meantime, thank you all for being patient with me!
I'd like to enter this into the following challenge:
