GOTH BETTY

Hey everyone,
Today, I’m sharing my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - Goth Betty.
I did a ‘regular’ Betty Boop a while ago (see an earlier post) so I thought I’d decorate this one a little differently.
I had an old dressing gown, so cut it up and used for the dress part of this. I used ribbon for the basque and painted the rest with distress paints.
These come in a pack of two, and are so much fun to decorate as you wish. Why not have a go.

SEALIFE PLAQUE

Morning all,
Today, I’m sharing my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - Sealife plaque
I love these plaques on stand or art boards, as some companies call them. They’re a perfect ‘blank canvas’ to create whatever you want. Sometimes, that can be a bit daunting, as there are no hint or leads to help guide you. Don’t be daunted, just unleash your creativity ❤️
I decided to do a ‘Sea themed’ board. I used some fab SnipArt and real shells. Daisy’s also have some green moss, which is amazing to give it a realistic look and feel.
So, go on, create a masterpiece. See you all in a week xx

MIXED MEDIA DOOR HANGER

Good morning all,

It’s seems like ages since I last blogged! I hope you’re all well.
Today, I’m sharing my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - Mixed media door hanger. This is such a quick and simple project. Minimum effort, maximum result!!
These mdf door hangers are so lovely to work with. No preparation needed. I used some gorgeous dusty attic greyboard, some art pebbles, some Metal embellishments (of course 😉) an mdf word “Craft,” and then painted it all with black gesso.
Once it had dried, I used some of Finnabair’s beautiful opal waxes. I love these and they smell divine!! Done, simple!! See you all next week xx
