FAMILY FREESTANDING

Hey guys,

Today, I'm sharing my latest DT make for Daisy's Jewels and Crafts, using their gorgeous words on stands range of MDF  -  "FAMILY"

I used some paper from Hunkydory's all occasions essentials paper pad to cover the word, family. Then, Pebeo deco creme paint in matt fir green for the base.

I used a few elements from my stash of Wycinanka chipboard to accent the flowers on the base, and also painted these with the Pebeo paint.

The gorgeous flowers are from Craft Box and The Trinket Parlour.

I used some lovely mdf pieces from Daisy's Jewels and Crafts, flowers, stars, and hearts, which I painted with distress paint in Spun Sugar. Then, embellished with gems and pearls.

I outlined the word with a Spectrum Noir alcohol marker in DG3 (green)
Hope you like :)

APOTHECARY/STEAMPUNK 3D FRAME

Hey everyone,

I'm so excited to announce that I'm now on the Daisy's Jewels & Crafts design team.  Eeeeeeek. Which means I get to get my hands on all sorts of lush mdf and be creative!

For this DT project I used the gorgeous 3D frame #3, find this on www.daisysjewelsandcrafts.com
I covered it one of Stamperia's vintage clocks and dragonflies rice papers, using mod podge.
When it was dry, I used vintage photo distress ink to age it more.

I created a fantastic rusty key, using Finnabair's rust effect paste, and added this to the top of the frame. Then, added the mdf word, "Authentic" - from Daisy's Jewels and Crafts. I gave it a quick wash with frayed burlap distress paint.

Daisy's Jewels & Crafts do so many amazing mdf goodies, so I chose some cogs, old keys, and a birdcage to embellish my frame. I was going with a shadow box kind of idea, and love the steampunk and apothecary look.

I used a few metal embellishments too, and used Tim Holtz ideaology bits n bobs to embellish the frame too, including his apothecary vials.

I added ball chain, via screw eyes at the back, to hang to the wall, and a few screw eyes and swivel clasps under the frame to add a mini pocket watch, key, and cog. I then added a mini frame on the front, with "Dream" added to it.

I was pleased with the outcome, I hope you like it too.
