Shabby Chic Fridge Magnet

Hello friends!!!

The current challenge at DCAM is Shabby Chic & I decided to try a mixed media project. It surely is not my style but I am loving this first attempt in true shabby chic style, for which I always had a fancy. Gorgeous projects in soft shabby chic colors with lots of layers & textures adorned with embellies dazzled me & I never gathered the courage to try this beautiful style until now. Here's the altered (wooden) fridge magnet -

Lots of products used in the making of this - gesso, Lindy's  Spray, texture paste, pattern paper, embellishments, pearl strings, blooms, etc. Also created loads of layers & textures with lace, paper, stencils, diecuts, etc.

BEST TEACHER

Hello friends!
Back again after a short absence to share a card I made for my daughters teacher.
To create the BG I made swatches of colors with distress ink on the CS, following which I heat embossed the flowers in clear embossing powder & then covered the entire BG with black soot distress ink. This is the result of the amazing resist technique..........very much alike the crayon resisit technique I used in this card HERE.

Wall Hanging Keepsake

A very happy Sunday morning to all!!

Sharing a very special project with you today-a hanging keepsake. My daughter wanted a gift for her bestie on her sixteenth birthday. I have used a MDF wall hanging from kaisercraft as the base, covered it with pattern paper, MDF embellies & blooms(all handmade from various die cuts). Also done a lot of distressing on this. Sorry about the pic quality but these were all taken at night when I just finished working on it.

Heat embossed  a pretty friendship tag in clear powder.

  

My daughter wanted to paste pictures of all three of them - so here I have left the space blank.

Teachers Day - Post-it holders

Good evening friends!!!

Sharing a few post-it note holders I made this week for my daughters. These simple gifts were made for their  teachers. I have used a lot of colors, die cuts, layering, stamping, distressing, blooms.............& my favorite handmade papers which I have been hoarding for so long!!! I am so glad to use these....finally (hope I am able to do the same with pattern papers, I am just unable to cut those gorgeous beauties)

The first three holders are easel style. 

All the others have a provision to hold mini pens.

Also made two cards which you can find here & here.
